Reggie Virgil - Stymied by Ducks Virgil reeled in all two targets for 29 yards during Thursday's 23-0 defeat versus Oregon.

Impact Virgil had been a consistently reliable receiver this season, but he was locked down by an aggressive Oregon secondary that played like it was still frustrated it let JMU hang 34 points on it in the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Virgil still had a very solid year in his first season in Lubbock, catching 57 passes for 705 yards and six touchdowns. The receiver appears to be out of eligibility.

Caleb Douglas - Three targets, zero receptions Douglas reeled in 0 of 3 targets for zero yards during Thursday's 23-0 defeat versus Oregon.

Impact Texas Tech struggled all game, and Douglas is a clear example of the struggle, with Thursday's playoff game including the first and only time this season in which he logged zero receptions. For 2025, he recorded 54 of them on 97 targets with 846 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

How to Watch Texas Tech vs. Oregon: Orange Bowl Quarterfinal Time, TV Channel, Live Stream

Terrance Carter Jr. - Nine catches during quarterfinal Carter accrued zero targets during Thursday's 23-0 defeat to Oregon.

Impact Across the Red Raiders' last three games, Carter logged his 2025's highest and second-highest number of receptions, 10 and nine respectively. They ensure that his 2025 season finishes with 55 catches, his career-high. Carter also recorded 624 yards and five touchdowns.

J'Koby Williams - One of better QF performers Williams posted 13 carries for 81 yards during Thursday's 23-0 loss to Oregon.

Impact Despite the fact that Texas Tech scored zero points against Oregon, Williams was a bright spot, falling just two short of 100 all-purpose yards Thursday. During his 2025 season, he logged 155 rushing attempts for 868 yards and six touchdowns. As a receiver, Williams logged 35 receptions (on 38 targets) for 388 receiving yards and two TDs, overall excellence that ensures he would be a top option if his junior year is used during 2026.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Cameron Dickey - Logs 29 rushing yards, zero TDs Dickey compiled 11 carries for 29 yards during Thursday's 23-0 defeat against Oregon.

Impact For 2025, 29 is Dickey's second-lowest rushing yards across any game. The running back's lowest is 10 from Week 2 at Kent State, but unlike then, he did not score multiple touchdowns Thursday. Dickey not scoring a TD is surprising, considering his 2025 calendar year includes 16 across 13 games. For the season, he logged 209 carries and 25 receptions with 1,348 all-purpose yards, 1,124 rushing and 224 receiving.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Behren Morton - Worst game during playoff Morton was 18-for-32 passing for 137 yards and two interceptions during Thursday's 23-0 loss versus Oregon. He also had six rushes for -32 yards.

Impact For only the second time in 2025, Morton logged touchdowns and interceptions. Unlike the first time, he recorded less than 60 percent for his pass attempts, negative rushing yards and a fumbled ball during postseason action. Overall, the quarterback's latest game is a disappointing and surprising finish to his strong 2025. He completed 66.0 percent of 332 pass attempts for 2,780 yards and a 22-6 TD-INT ratio. Morton has no collegiate eligibility remaining, so his focus will shift to pro football.
