    The No. 6 Oregon Ducks are finally hitting their stride, showcasing impressive production led by the speed surrounding quarterback Dillon Gabriel .

    That speed proved crucial on Saturday as the Ducks dominated the UCLA Bruins 34-13, with wide receiver Tez Johnson stealing the spotlight.

    Johnson delivered an outstanding performance, recording 11 receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns. His efforts earned him recognition from the Big Ten , which named him Co-Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week alongside Michigan running back Kalel Mullings .

    Tez Johnson's impact on the Ducks' offense is immense, particularly alongside running back Jordan James . Together, they have been the team's most reliable sources of production as they prepare for a massive Big Ten showdown against the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes in Eugene, Oregon, in less than two weeks.

    On the season Johnson has tallied 33 receptions for 311 yards, four touchdowns, and has averaged 9.4 yards per reception. Looking to surpass 1,000 yards for his second straight season.

    Oregon will host the Michigan State Spartans in Week 6, a potential look-ahead spot with the Buckeyes on the horizon. However, the Ducks must focus on handling business against a Spartans team that is reeling from a 38-7 loss to Ohio State in Week 5.
