The Oregon Ducks are coming off one of their best seasons in the history of their football program. They ran the table in the regular season, which was particularly impressive when you take into account that it was their first season in the Big Ten Conference. They were pitted against some of the best, including the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The Ducks thrillingly took that game and left that game with many around the country believing they were the best team in college football. They went on to defeat the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten Championship Game and were awarded the No. 1 overall seed in the College Football Playoff.

Oregon's Evan Stewart has 4-word message after season-ending injury

The Oregon Ducks' offense was one of the best in college football this past season with Dillon Gabriel at the helm. During his lone season at Oregon, Gabriel tied Case Keenum's record for career passing touchdowns with 155. However, the Ducks fell to the Buckeyes in a rematch in the Rose Bowl.

While Gabriel was impressive at the helm of the offense, he did a solid job of spreading the ball around, getting multiple players involved. No Ducks pass catcher finished with even 900 yards, but saw four players finish with 40-plus receptions.

The Ducks will be without one of those key receivers after Evan Stewart recently suffered a torn patellar tendon. Following the injury, Stewart had a four-word message for Ducks fans.

"Ouuu we gon brb," Stewart said on his Instagram story.

The message could mean a multitude of things. He could be hinting at a comeback or using it as motivation that he'll come back strong next season.

Stewart transferred in from Texas A&M last offseason and tallied 48 catches, the second-most on the Ducks, for 613 yards and five touchdowns. The Ducks will surely miss his production this season as they seek to return to the College Football Playoff with UCLA transfer Dante Moore at quarterback. Using the next man up approach, five-star true freshman Dakorien Moore could be poised for a substantial workload right away.
