SEC Media Days So Far
Scoreboard? We don't care about no stinkin' scoreboard. Every loss could have gone the other way! After all, Bama's 38-3 Rose Bowl loss to Indiana was oh so close, right? How can any respectable SEC team win in the land of fruits and nuts? If we'd had a well-deserved seven SEC teams in the field, we could have made it to the finals! Mizzou Coach Eli (I've had too much to) Drinkwitz: the SEC schedules, especially with a 10th P4 opponent out of conference, are so much harder than Big Ten schedules. OK, Eli, in 2025, your team did not defeat a team that finished with more than six wins, and you scored seven points and lost against ACC conference UVA in your bowl game. When the facts are not on your side, obfuscate. Texas A&M did not defeat an SEC team that won more than 6 games and lost at home in the PO 1st round. Vandy went 10-2 and lost to 8-4 Iowa in the postseason. Illinois defeated Tennessee, another SEC behemoth, in Nashville, Tennessee. But, by all means, Greg Stankey, break away from the rest of the national riffraff with a conference that extends east-west from Columbia, South Carolina all the way to Norman, Oklahoma, and north-south from Lexington, Kentucky to Gainesville, Florida. I hope the SEC is enjoying its media days in Tampa(ering), Florida, where there is humidity but no humility.

College Football News Oregon Preview and That Other O B1G Preview
If I EVER would root for OBD to go 12-0, this would be the year. They have a realistic shot at running the table like Indiana did last year. But again-Dante Moore will have to play like he's facing NFL defenses. He will have to throw open receivers, teach guys how to find open windows in Zone coverage, and be able to find open guys in under 2 seconds. Julien Sayin is in the same boat. Both of these QBs have to assume their respective offensive lines cannot handle Elite pass rushing defenses. That requires a mindset of teaching and finding open receivers in a snap of a finger. Guys will have to make it easy for both to find them without defenses preventing easy receptions. I am going to write an article about that very topic. I think Moore is close to being there. But I am assuming for now it is because he throws to who he is comfortable with. I'll let you know soon what I believe he will have to develop in order to be the Maestro of College Football. Stay tuned

OREGON’S 2028 RUNNING BACK SEARCH IS ALREADY GOING NATIONALA thin group of elite West Coast backs means the Ducks will need to lean on Texas ties, national recruiting and early evaluation. Oregon’s search for a 2028 running back is unlikely to remain close to home. Only two of the top 25 running backs in the early rankings can reasonably be considered West Coast prospects. That leaves the Ducks facing an important reality as they begin constructing their board: maintaining the program’s running back pipeline will require a national recruiting effort. Oregon has already demonstrated that it can recruit elite players from nearly every part of the country. The 2028 running back cycle may require the Ducks to use that reach more aggressively than usual. Texas will be particularly important. The state has multiple prospects who have already received Oregon attention, and Ra’Shaad Samples gives the Ducks a recruiter with deep relationships and credibility throughout the region. The board is still developing, but several early names provide a glimpse of the different directions Oregon could take.

At a calm shore, the Oregon defensive line learns to breathe fireThere's a vintage NFL film clip of Lawrence Taylor on the sidelines, helmet in hands, telling his New York Giant teammates, "We're gonna go in there like a pack of crazed dogs." The best defenses and defensive lines are disruptive. They swarm and overwhelm what an opponent is trying to do, short-circuit a quarterback's brain with relentless pressure. They destroy. Masters of mayhem, aggressive, fearless, always on the attack. That's what the Oregon defensive front has the potential to be in 2026. Four senior starters return, all high pro draft picks, A'Mauri Washington, Bear Alexander, Matayo Uiagalelei and Teitum Tuioti. Reserve sophomore edge rusher Nasir Wyatt is one of the emerging talents in college football, frightfully quick and disruptive. Five-star redshirt sophomore Elijah Rushing has honed his body to 6-7, 290.

Oregon quarterbacks coach Koa Ka’ai joins the Autzen Audibles Podcast for an extensive conversation about his first offseason leading the position group and the development taking place inside one of the Ducks’ most important rooms. Ka’ai discusses the additional responsibilities he has taken on since moving into the position, including Oregon’s demanding recruiting schedule and the opportunity to put his own stamp on the quarterback room after spending more than two years working alongside former offensive coordinator Will Stein. The former Oregon player explains the identity he wants his quarterbacks to establish. Competitiveness is at the top of that list, but Ka’ai also wants the Ducks to remain connected, support one another and remember that football is supposed to be enjoyable. Much of the conversation centers on Dante Moore and the growth Oregon has seen from its veteran quarterback. Ka’ai details how Moore has become more vocal, demanding and willing to hold teammates accountable without becoming demeaning. He also explains how Moore’s expanding understanding of defensive football and Oregon’s entire offensive operation has allowed the coaching staff to give him greater control at the line of scrimmage. Ka’ai also provides an update on Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola, including the physical transformation he has made since arriving in Eugene and his progress learning Oregon’s system. The discussion explores how the Ducks develop experienced backup quarterbacks, the individualized plans Oregon creates for each player and the message Marcus Mariota once delivered about the importance of maintaining a healthy quarterback room. Ka’ai also explains Oregon’s golf-inspired approach to competition, how the staff evaluates quarterbacks in the NIL era and why relationships throughout a high school can reveal as much as throwing talent.- OFF TOPICS: For Your Interest (10)
Oregon's Autzen Stadium placed highly on ranking of Big Ten stadiumsThe sport of college football has some of the more well-recognized stadiums in America. The Rose Bowl. The Big House. Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Kyle Field. All of which have a capacity of at least 75,000 seats, with several going over the 100,000 mark. But within the depth of college football rests another iconic venue: Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore, home of the Oregon Ducks. Known for it's raucous fans and stadium design that keeps the noise inside the stadium rattling opposing teams with regularity, Autzen Stadium presents one of the most incredible home-field advantages in all of sports. In a ranking of the top stadiums in the Big Ten by USA TODAY, Autzen Stadium landed at No. 2, with a large part being the Ducks' excellent home record in recent seasons. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/07/21/oregon-football-autzen-stadium-ranking-big-ten-stadiums/90989947007/- OFF TOPICS: For Your Interest (10)

Stein led top 5 offenses 3 years in a row, and had the best cumulative scoring average for those 3 years in the country. We all got tired of the bubble screens. But you can't argue with the results. We've been great on offense under Stein and sent more offensive players to the league than we ever had before. I hope he kills it in the sec and I'll be cheering for his success. Just think, the better Stein does, the better Lanning looks, and the easier it will be for the Ducks to acquire the best coaches, and the best players, in the future. - Oregon Ducks Practice Reports Updates, Etc. “2026” (6)
