Predicting Oregon's offensive two-deep entering fall campHere is our best guess for what the Ducks' offensive two-deep will look like now that fall football camp has started https://247sports.com/college/oregon/longformarticle/oregon-ducks-ducks-football-depth-chart-2026-season-288728945/

Transfer tight ends Markus Dixon and Andrew Olesh working to contribute immediately"We have some guys we think are capable," Lanning said of the team's tight end depth. "What we have beyond [Johnson] will depend on what the next few weeks of fall camp look like. Who else can take on a role similar to the one Jamari took this past season?" https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/transfer-tight-ends-markus-dixon-and-andrew-olesh-working-to-contribute-immediately-288726629/

An Ontario, Oregon man has also been charged, with 15 counts of arson...

Just drove from Portland to Madras. The AQI in sandy was above 180 and seemed to not abate until past Government Camp. It's just really bad everywhere right now.

A blessing on all in the West endangered by fire. Kirk, from what I've read, this is an understatement. Authorities have arrested an 🤬 accused of starting one of the fires in Spokane. If guilty, please hang him high.

"In college football, two things matter: your roster and your schedule." Coach Pepper Rodgers. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49361902/college-football-schedule-superlatives-2026-season Coaches Poll No. 1: Ohio State has the roster, but the schedule?

Fulfills the BIG's emphasis on cutting down on travel. SC and UCLA not bunched since only ex-coach Foster knows UCLA is in LA.

The practice facility at 3:30 AM this morning. The smoke and lights change the dynamic a little.

It's getting pretty nasty up here in Seattle as well.

https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/usa/oregon/eugene https://aqicn.org/map/eugene/ Above 160 today, Wednesday, in the unhealthy category. Appears it will be improving by Friday. Remember 2017 when the Ducks went to the Oregon coast to practice prior to the Nebraska game?

So, the only two in one day appears to be Oregon and Washington.

Oregon was picked #2 in the country going into the 2026 season in the first Coaches' Poll. The ranking is warranted and while exciting, it's also terrifying for Duck fans. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses one of the biggest position battles that could be brewing in Fall Camp for Oregon. Who will emerge in the secondary to replace Jadon Canady? Oregon's defense has as much talent on paper as any that has ever been assembled in Eugene.

Jon, don't be shy. Tell us how you really feel about Lane Kiffin. I am in total agreement with you.

Lame Kitten best brace himself for his opening SEC game with LSU that serendipitously comes against the girl he dissed, Ole Miss, in the friendly confines of Oxford, Mississippi. September 19, 2026, at 7:30 PM Eastern Time on ABC. One sure bet in 2026: Bet on GameDay being in Oxford for this game. I'm not certain what side to take in the Over/Under 25 Louisiana State Troopers accompanying Lane. Kiffin's CFB highwater mark: 2 conference titles at Florida Atlantic. Lane quit twice to take his Dream Job. He was fired by Al Davis and Pat Haden, and benched by Ole Miss and by Saint Nick when he was the OC at Bama, and Lane was off to FAU. $13 million a year for these accomplishments? I'm hoping for another UNC Billy Bob Chapel Hill meltdown hire in Baton Rouge. 🤪

Dear Professor West, Sir, you are a great teacher, but I'm happy I only audit your classes. You are too tough a grader for this sorry student. So, Professor, to be the real deal, Koi has to go in the 1st round of the draft and no higher than the 24th pick? Whew! 😁 Seriously, my friend, I have some of the same concerns. However, he did improve on D from 2024 to 25: 2024 46 tackles, 28 solo; 2025 82 tackles, 39 solo, 1 sack, and 1 forced fumble. In two seasons, he had 813 kickoff return yards, a 23.2-yard average. He had 306 yards in punt returns, 9.4 average in 2024, and 6.6 in 2025, when special teams coaches were paying more attention. I thought we would see him in the return game in the spring, but I don't recall him lining up to return kicks. Was this because Dan wanted to keep him under wraps? I hope so. With apologies to Bobby Darin, one thing I don't want to see is another Makhi back in town. 🤪 We'll know early on if he's the real deal. In the opener, if he is starting, he'll be going against an experienced, savvy QB in Boise State's Maddux Madsen. In Week 2, the guy who led FBS in passing yards in 2025, Drew Mestemaker, will be at QB for OK State. We are in a time of unregulated free agency in college football, and players are understandably making hay while the sun shines. I welcome any player Dan and friends believe is worthy to the OBD Football Finishing School. I'm happy Dillon Gabriel made Oregon his third stop, and Pregnon and Thieneman came to play where the grass is damn green, and that Evan Stewart and Jamari Johnson will be on this year's roster. Entering the portal and portal picking are an integral part of today's CFB Moneyball game. Let's Play Ball!

I appreciate your comment bc it made me curious to watch. I respectfully disagree. The first questioner put words in Koi’s mouth saying he “obviously” would prefer to skip Oregon and go straight to the Vikings. He laughed that off, and in the rest of the interview, he reiterated that he loves Oregon—the team, coaches, and state. I think, if he were a mercenary, he would be playing for Lincoln Riley. And it says a lot that he wasn’t interested in taking pictures on his official visit and instead wanted to talk football. I’m really looking forward to seeing him play.

WEDNESDAY WAR ROOM: FIVE QUESTIONS OREGON BEGINS ANSWERING IN FALL CAMPThe Ducks enter camp with an experienced roster, but important roles at tight end, safety and special teams remain open while two new coordinators begin shaping their units.Oregon does not enter fall camp needing to prove that it has talent. The Ducks return established players on both sides of the ball, added experienced transfers and watched several young contributors gain significant experience last season. The next few weeks are about determining how those pieces fit together and which players are ready to take on larger roles. Dan Lanning offered a straightforward definition of a successful camp. “For us, it’s improvement,” Lanning said. “Are guys making the same mistakes twice? Do they understand the concepts that we’re trying to institute? Do our coaches really get comfortable in the roles that they’re wearing?” Wednesday War Room: Five questions Oregon begins answerin...Oregon Ducks football, Dan Lanning, Oregon recruiting, college football, NIL, Big Ten, Pac-12, Scott Reed, Duck Sports Central, recruiting news

DANTE MOORE’S OREGON IS BEING BUILT ON TRUSTThe Ducks’ quarterback believes in the staff, the process and the teammates around him, and that trust has become central to the way he approaches the 2026 season.Dante Moore had opportunities to reconsider his future after Oregon’s 2025 season ended. He could have entered the NFL draft. He could have decided he had already accomplished enough in Eugene. Instead, Moore chose to return for another season with the Ducks. There were still moments when he wondered whether he had made the right choice. “There were some days where I thought about that, like, was it the right decision?” Moore said. Those questions faded as the offseason work accumulated. “It’s been months now, and we put in so much this offseason, making sure we’re getting our bodies right, preparing for this season,” Moore said. “So I’m excited.” Dante Moore’s Oregon is being built on trustOregon Ducks football, Dan Lanning, Oregon recruiting, college football, NIL, Big Ten, Pac-12, Scott Reed, Duck Sports Central, recruiting news
