I have a different take and believe that the defense is getting better. The defense stepped up with some huge stops in the 4th quarter to help win the game. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the opposing offense. Riley is one of the best offensive minds and play callers in college football, USC has some young playmakers and their QB can make throws into tight coverage. The below videos break down the Oregon defense vs. USC.

Hear from Oregon freshman wide receiver Messiah Hampton as he discusses his big role within the offense at a time that wasn't originally expected. Hear from Oregon freshman safety Jett Washington as he discusses his growing role within the Oregon defense.

Dante Moore progressing, Jalen Lott 'getting closer' to playing, per Lanning https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/09/30/oregon-football-dan-lanning-dante-moore-jalen-lott-injury-update/92022826007/

Dan Lanning gives update on Dante Moore, but says it's time to shift focus to UCLAOregon coach Dan Lanning provided another update on quarterback Dante Moore’s recovery and then quickly said the Ducks need to shift their focus to their next game and not reflect back on the win over USC. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/dan-lanning-gives-update-on-dante-moore-but-says-its-time-to-shift-focus-to-ucla-290654883/

Yea, probably true. In my defense I wrote that on Sunday. Still a little raw. Kiffin still sucks more

He also posted a video breaking down Dylan Riola’s play against USC.

Agreed. Not quite Kiffen-level disgust yet....but they're both in the same neighborhood at least.

lol.. Uhhh, I dont know if anyone has unseated Kiffin just yet. Kiffen the lowest of the low.

Raiola time is next year.. Ive said before the season, the team Raiola gets next year will be even better than this years.

Oregon's most savage takedown of USC had nothing to do with Dan Lanning's trash talkElko called it "impossible" to recruit quarterback depth out of the portal at his Monday news conference. "I don't think people in the portal go where there is an established starter," he said. Well, with one exception. Realistically, Oregon is one of only a few schools that can pay multiple starting-quality quarterbacks without sacrificing at other positions. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/article/oregons-most-savage-takedown-of-usc-had-nothing-to-do-with-dan-lannings-trash-talk-215023801.html

There are a lot of great points here. It's obvious DR is a dog. I made the comment a couple weeks ago that DR is a better "football" player. Last Saturday only proved my claim. I think it's pretty early to declare that DR gives Oregon a better chance to win. He looked good v. a pathetic SC defense that had no game prep for a backup qb. DR will probably have a few games to prove himself. I think DM is better at protecting the ball and DR will put the ball in harms way more often. I am not ready to throw Donte under the bus after he took a nasty hit and severe head injury. 2 q's of play is way too soon. Donte is a top 2 or 3 QB and DR... IDK

I'm wondering how much of the line's "improved play" is simply that we aren't telling the opposing team if it is a run or a pass before snap

The article hits on the concept of implementing player fines in CFB. I like the idea of CFB player fines... and I mean big, big, ol fines. With the one caveat that the fines have to be paid from coaches paychecks. Plus, the player would be required to do a certain amount of community service in an orange jumpsuit that involves picking up litter along the side of a road. For some, like Stephens, it would probably even give him a jump start on the future career he has ahead of him -- so that's nice. For some reason, if the coaches have to pay, I have a sneaking suspicion that the behavior will stop quite quickly, or kids will start being booted off of football teams. And I'm only halfway kidding about the community service and orange jumpsuit.

I always look this as an opportunity on the sideline as a WWDD . “What would Dante do “ in this situation . QB on the head set suited up, ready and still in the game. Possibility involved in play calling

Updated Oregon depth chart after 4 games: What has changed? https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/09/30/oregon-football-depth-chart-after-4-games/92011586007/

I totally thought the same thing, Kiffin set this up. They talked about taking heads off. Whole team acted like it they knew it before it happened. The only thing missing is the thick gold chain transfer to the 🥇 winner. 🏆

This may be the element that matters most in a deep post-season run. Playing better defenses like Georgia and Texas, we need a QB who can scan the field whether under pressure or not. We have the play makers to go up and bring down the passes. Raiola seams to understand this already. He looks like he is seeing the mis-matches on the field either pre-snap or on the roll-out and distributing the ball well. I do see mounting issues (last season included) with Dante dumping out to guys in the flat rather than throwing a down-field receiver open. I'm sure with more tape on Raiola there will be issues we see with some of his decision making (maybe throwing off the back foot too much). But at this point I have been pleasantly surprised by his vision on the field.
