Fall camp coverage isn’t always about what happens between the lines. After a week of listening to Oregon’s players and coaches, I keep coming back to one word: fellowship. This week on the Sunday Morning Sidewalk my story looks at how connection, trust and cohesion could help turn Oregon’s talent into a team. https://www.ducksportscentral.com/2026/08/sunday-morning-sidewalk-made-for.html

Which college football teams can go undefeated in 2026? Here are 10 potential candidatesEvery college football team sets out to win each game, but only a select few have the talent, coaching and schedule favorability to pull off that feat https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-teams-undefeated-2026/

Dante Moore hasn't 'changed who he is' as Oregon role grows https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/09/oregon-football-dante-moore-leadership-spotlight/91230721007/

Oregon claims nation's top quarterback room, per PFFDante Moore is arguably the top quarterback in the country entering the 2026 season. He has tremendous odds to both win the Heisman Trophy and become the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, and he is the key reason why the Oregon Ducks have a chance to bring home the program's first championship. However, depth is important at every position on the field, including quarterback. In an ideal world, Moore is the only Duck who needs to get under center this season. But if a scenario occurs where the Ducks need a new plan, they have plenty of good options to choose from. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/08/oregon-football-nations-best-quarterback-room-pff/91218881007/

The Bill will not reach the Senate floor until September. I very much doubt that the Bill as amended will pass. FBS, Power 4, or Power 2 depart the NCAA for CFB, possibly Men's CBB, make their own rules, and govern themselves in one form or another? Uncontrolled spending needs to be reined in or kiss nonrevenue sports goodbye. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2026/08/08/protect-college-sports-act-congress-no-vote-cruz-cantwell-ncaa/91205678007/?utm_source=usatoday-sports-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=usatbaseline& We have met the enemy, and they are us. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/sec/2026/08/07/lsu-risky-financial-move-quick-cash-private-equity-lane-kiffin-gov-landry-millions/91209655007/?utm_source=usatoday-sports-strada&utm_medium=email&utm_camp

It might be interesting to make a comparison between the names listed so far, and the number of NFL seasons by each Duck who was in the NFL? 8 years for Chad Cota, as an example. Or, 14 years Gary Zimmerman who is in the NFL Hall of Fame. Yes, I understand, post-Duck career is different than contributions while a Duck, but seeing an NFL list might refresh some memories?
