Joe Lorig provided the clearest picture yet of Oregon’s rebuilt specialist group, while A’lique Terry detailed an offensive line still embracing competition as it moves closer to finding the cohesion the Ducks will need this fall. Here is my Practice 4 Recap: https://www.ducksportscentral.com/2026/08/oregon-practice-4-hurych-and-ettridge.html

Nice to see Gernorris looking (at least) close to full go. Iheanacho looks giant. How much chicken do you need to make to feed 22 300+ pound college kids?

I love that McNutt was mentioned. I remember the buzz on him before he broke his leg. Super high ceiling for this dude. McNutts injury was not connective tissue or joints. He should be able to get back to pre-injury form. Devon Jackson. 22' blue chip recruit, top 100 guy. Can he meet the moment and live up to his potential? I think he will. Looking for a breakout season. Dudes played a ton of football, I think he is going to shine. If Oregon is to fix the redzone D and run D, Jackson will be a major reason why

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reveals his Preseason Top 25 for the upcoming season. He makes his pick for his #1 team going into the season as teams like Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oregon and Arch Manning’s Texas squad all look to grab the top spot. Klatt also breaks down how many teams he believes can actually win the National Championship this season as the Big Ten and SEC battle for supremacy in the sport. He explains if Michigan or Oklahoma will be in his Top 10 ahead of their early-season non-conference matchup in Ann Arbor while Alabama’s ranking may be his most controversial in the entire episode.

DSC INSIDE READ: 3-2-1 AFTER OREGON’S FIRST WEEK OF FALL CAMPThree observations, two questions and one early prediction after a week that took the Ducks from Media Day into their first three practices. Oregon spent much of the offseason talking about what this team could become. Media Day gave us the players’ perspective on that process, then three practices finally gave Dan Lanning, Chris Hampton and Drew Mehringer an opportunity to begin testing those ideas on the field. The first week did not answer every question, and in some cases it probably created a few more. But between what we heard before camp, what players told us Monday and what the coaches revealed after the first three practices, several themes are already beginning to move beyond offseason talking points. Here is my first 3-2-1 of fall camp. THREE OBSERVATIONS 1. Oregon’s experience matters because the Ducks are asking experienced players to do more2. Oregon’s competition sounds intense without becoming individual3. Oregon’s two new coordinators appear to be building from the same philosophy TWO QUESTIONS1. How quickly does Oregon have to turn offensive-line competition into continuity?2. Can Oregon turn “finish” from an offseason lesson into an on-field identity?DSC Inside Read: 3-2-1 after Oregon’s first week of fall...Oregon Ducks football, Dan Lanning, Oregon recruiting, college football, NIL, Big Ten, Pac-12, Scott Reed, Duck Sports Central, recruiting news

Marsh-Mondays....LOVE IT! David, I agree with your thoughts about Matayo, because a step up by him impacts the defense HUGE. As for Trey McNutt? He will not challenge Iffy at corner IMHO, because McNutt is a safety. At the top of the forum--click on "Depth Chart" and see what I mean... Not IFFY on this play!

Elijah Rushing arrived at Oregon with expectations and a clock already running. Two years later, he’s bigger, more complete and no longer measuring his path against anyone else’s. “All of this built me to this moment now.” My deep dive on what patience built: https://api.omarshehata.me/substack-proxy/articles/ducksports-substack-com-p-elijah-rushing-stopped-racing-the.html

I’d go Coach MB. Brooks toiled and got us to breakthrough eventually, but MB sustained and grew. Brooks couldn’t quite bridge and build upon the Ogburn flirtation and regressed despite having Chris Miller in the 80s. I mean, he did finally progress from 89-94, but it didn’t really felt like we “belonged” until MB to me. Talk about a slow burn, wowsers! My general recollection growing up in the 80s is we were completely dependent upon the starting QB being able to try to carry us to 6-5 to magically break through and make a bowl game. Oh how I used to dream of playing some crappy bowl game in December. The second there was a QB shoulder separation or a bad QB transition we were…terrible.

I'm just glad that we did not have to look back on the Justin Wilcox years.

The camp visits are rebroadcast on BTN and available on the BTN App. Visits before Oregon: USC, UCLA, Wisconsin, and today's visit to Penn State.

I appreciate the perspective but I'd argue the Beaver obsession was an AD not seeing the forest because of the trees; and, basically letting the inmates run the asylum. In 1970 and 1971, while losing two games to the Beavers, Oregon did beat USC twice, an 8-3 UW team, and UCLA down in LA. The 1970 team had finished second in the Pac-8. Signs of things going the right way. Of course it is hindsight, but Frei clearly had put together an excellent, borderline historical, young staff. He also had brought in a bunch of talent: Fouts, Rashad, Newland, Blanchard, Tom Drougas, John McKean, Bill Drake, Lionel Coleman, Tom Graham. Picking two head coaches that drug the program through 4 years of 11-33 after four previous years of 20-21-1 was a massive step backwards. 11-33 included only one win over a team that finished with a winning record (6-5). Its 11 wins were over teams with a combined record of 30-91 and 7 of 11 of the teams it managed to beat won 3 or fewer games). He did go 2-2 against OSU as AD with his coaches, beating a 2-9 OSU team in 1972 and a 1-10 OSU team in 1975; but, honestly, not so much to hang one's hat on. We don't really care if the trajectory is right into the ground as long as we beat the Beavers? Oregon football history: 242-216-28 (5 decades before Ritchey) 11-33 (4 Ritchey seasons) 4-7 (last year under Read) 40-66-4 (Brooks first decade) 51-43 (Brooks last 8 years) 116-55 (Bellotti) 173-50 (Post Bellotti) Oregon sort of has the reputation of being horrible for most of its history; but, since 1920, if you separate the 5 Ritchey seasons plus 10 years Brooks took to dig out of it (15 years) you get: 1920-1971 plus 1987-today: 582-364-28 = 0.612 (would qualify for tied for 26th all time) 5 Ritchey seasons plus first Brooks decade: 55-106-4 = 0.345 (would qualify 136th out of 138 active all-time) And again, I understand how boosters at the time might have pressured the young AD over the Beaver losses; but, only 2 of the 8 losses weren't close, by: 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 5, 15, and 22. A somewhat forward looking AD should have seen talent and a trajectory; or, at least, understood there would be no guarantee a 37 year old HC with two years of position coach experience was going to be any better. In a sense I guess he was fortunate OSU finally went in the tank, but so did Oregon.

Just going to shamelessly plug an earlier Marsh Duck article. https://open.substack.com/pub/marshduck/p/chris-hampton-is-the-next-evolution?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8foswi In the post practice interviews I would say that both new coordinators feel like they understand the problems they need to fix from last season. Hampton said Red zone defense was a problem last year and Mehringer effectively said the offense needs to not stall out. Those interviews usually don't give us much to work with but in addressing those concerns they are telling us they are aware of them. Ow can they fix them? We'll find out.
