Oregon Looking for Good Karma in 2026 SeasonThe Oregon Ducks had their 2026 media day on Monday. This was an opportunity for members of the press to talk to many key contributors from last season, as well as a handful of the new faces who joined the team in the offseason. There were a few Lanning-isms being thrown around. A couple of the guys talked about good karma. Overall, the vibe was confidence, determination, and a joy to be returning to football.

Wyatt bulks up, Uiagalelei slims down for Oregon in 2026If that's going to happen, there are two players who need to stand out in particular, though. On Monday at Oregon's annual media day, both players took center stage; one much bigger than we last saw, and the other trimmed down a great deal. Both Nasir Wyatt and Matayo Uiagalelei have been in the lab this offseason, but with different goals. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/05/oregon-football-nasir-wyatt-matayo-uiagalelei-changes/91157918007/

The Ducks roster is loaded with talent, but heading into Fall Camp there are some major questions that will need to be answered.

Ranking the Big Ten assistant coaches who can make the best case for a head coaching jobPart of the reason for the surge the Big Ten has taken in recent years, leading to three straight National Championships, is the high-level coaches the conference has had. While head coaches like Curt Cignetti, Ryan Day, Jim Harbaugh, and Dan Lanning get the most attention, the coordinators in the conference have been incredible. Having an elite coordinator on either side of the ball can elevate a team to incredible levels, and when you look at the last 3 National Champions the impact becomes clear. Heading into the 2026 college football season, 10 of the Big Ten's best coordinators will be in the mix for head coaching gigs with another solid season.

USC will fill the vacated spot Indiana was going to have with Notre Dame: USC-Notre Dame set to resume in 2030 after brief hiatusThough it looked like the long-term future of the USC vs. Notre Dame rivalry was in serious jeopardy, the series will return after a brief hiatus. The two schools had no future matchups scheduled after the 2025 season, but on Monday, The Athletic's Pete Sampson reported that they've agreed to bring the series back. It's reportedly a four-game contract that will begin in 2030, and the games will reportedly be played early in the season. According to Sampson, the 2030 matchup will be held in Week 1 in Los Angeles while the 2031 matchup will kick off the season in South Bend. It will reportedly replace the Fighting Irish's home-and-home with the Indiana Hoosiers. https://collegesportswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/college-football/2026/08/03/usc-football-notre-dame-rivalry-resume-2030-four-games/91152286007/ Indiana Talks Tough on Big Ten Pride, Then Cancels Notre Dame SeriesCurt Cignetti praised the Big Ten's toughness at media days, but Indiana just scrapped a marquee non-conference matchup with Notre Dame.

'Albert Einstein for football': Oregon players rave about Drew Mehringer's acumenDrew Mehringer might differ from the two previous play callers the school has employed as offensive coordinator, but maybe not for the reason some think. Yes, Mehringer is the first offensive play caller Dan Lanning has promoted, and no that doesn't mean he brings less to the table than Kenny Dillingham or Will Stein. Oregon players certainly don't feel that way. During Monday's Oregon media day, quarterback Dante Moore was the first to offer a vote of confidence for the team's new offensive coordinator, and he wasn't the last. ‌ "Coach Stein did one hell of a job here. He pushed the group and kept the offense operating the way it was supposed to operate. I hope he does great things at Kentucky, but Coach Mehringer is a scientist." Moore said. "He's really smart and does a great job dissecting defenses and making sure we have the right play called. He has been coaching me and the rest of the players really well." To Moore, Mehringer might resemble a scientist. Running back Dierre Hill Jr. referred to him as a magician. And center Iapani Laloulu offered appreciations for the appreciation Mehringer has shown to the O-Line. That could be why Kawika Rogers, a senior offensive lineman, offered the most memorable turn of phrase. ‌ "He's like Albert Enstein for football," Rogers said.He's the man." https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/albert-einstein-for-football-oregon-players-rave-about-drew-mehringers-acumen-288706644/

Dan Lanning studying NFL tape to help Oregon overcome rematch curseIn 2023, Oregon came up short against Washington twice, including in the Pac-12 Championship game rematch with a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line. The following season, the Ducks took down Ohio State in a thriller at Autzen Stadium, but fell flat in the Rose Bowl to end the season. Last season was a familiar story. The Ducks played hard against the Hoosiers in Eugene, but fell apart from the first snap of the Peach Bowl in another blowout loss to end the season. So, how do the Ducks do something different to hurdle the last obstacle in their path to a championship? Lanning has spent the offseason working to find a solution, and he's turned to the NFL for answers. “It's most common in the NFL," Lanning told reporters on Monday. "You know, so just more so conversations with approach and what that might look like. You know, it's a little bit different. I won't hop into great detail on it, but there's certainly some things that I think we've learned from and can use." https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/04/oregon-football-dan-lanning-rematch-nfl-2026/91169065007/

OREGON’S PLAYERS TAKE GREATER OWNERSHIP ENTERING 2026 FALL CAMPDan Lanning called this the most player-led team he has coached, and Ducks across the roster described how that leadership has taken shape during the offseason.Oregon opened fall camp this week with championship expectations surrounding a roster filled with returning experience. Dan Lanning believes the Ducks will rely heavily on that experience as they prepare for the success, adversity and attention that could come throughout the 2026 season. Asked about describing this as the most player-led group he has coached, Lanning said Oregon’s players assumed a larger role during the summer and will continue carrying that responsibility into the season. “I think it’s important,” Lanning said. “I think you’ve got to paint pictures for our players on things that you know are going to happen. There’s going to be moments of adversity throughout the year. There’s going to be moments of success. There’s going to be high praise.
