SCRIMMAGE TWO REPORT: OREGON’S DEFENSE FLIPS THE SCRIPT AS THE DUCKS’ FINAL LIVE TEST SHARPENS THE PICTUREThe defense answered the offense with third-down and red-zone stops, special teams produced its cleanest scrimmage yet, Evan Stewart delivered in the final period and Oregon emerged relatively healthy from what Dan Lanning expects to be its last major live-tackling session before the season. The offensive line remains unsettled, but Lanning made clear that practicing against Oregon’s defensive front is supposed to make the eventual games feel easier.

Flock Talk: Better for each otherOregon has spent months talking about becoming a player-led team. Twelve practices into fall camp, the clearest evidence may not be who gives the loudest speech, but how often Ducks are beginning to teach, challenge and develop one another.There is a version of leadership in football that is easy to recognize because it is impossible to miss. It is the player at the center of the huddle, the voice everyone hears after a bad period or the veteran speaking to the team when practice ends. Oregon has talked extensively this offseason about becoming more player-led, and it would be easy to measure that progress by counting those moments. I am starting to think the more important evidence is considerably quieter. Brian Michalowski offered an interesting example this week when he explained how he approaches development with Oregon’s linebackers. At the beginning of practice, he asks players what they want to emphasize that day. He still coaches them, corrects them and establishes the standard, but he also wants the player to recognize his own weakness and take responsibility for attacking it. “If it’s important to them and if it’s something that they want to get better at, they’ll attack it,” Michalowski said.

You’ve probably heard this one before: when Phil Knight is gone, Oregon football is done. It’s been repeated by opposing fans for years, and the assumption behind it is that Oregon has money because Phil Knight has money. Some people think that once Phil Knight is out of the equation, eventually, the Ducks will come crashing back down to earth. That argument has always ignored how much Oregon football has grown as a business in the last few decades. According to Yahoo Sports, in 2025 the football program generated $119.6 million in revenue, with a net of $58.8 million and expenses of $60.8 million. The Ducks aren’t being kept alive by checks from a billionaire donor, far from it. The program makes a lot of money on its own with ticket sales, merchandise and donations, but it needs more if it wants to stay ahead of the pack. Oregon is ranked 16th with an $880 million valuation and $169 million in 2024 revenue. That’s ahead of Washington at 24th for $795 million and Indiana at 27th for $775 million. The Ducks had a 13% increase in year-over-year value change, which is massive.

Now they're trying to tap back into that market and go global.

Oregon has been close to the top of college football under Dan Lanning. In 2026, close may no longer be enough. The Ducks bring back one of the most complete rosters in the country, with Dante Moore at quarterback, plenty of skill talent and a defense built to contend deep into the College Football Playoff. In this Oregon football preview, we ask whether this is finally the team that gets over the hump, how the Ducks handle two coordinator changes, and why both of us ultimately see Oregon as the team to beat in the Big Ten. The regular season ceiling may be undefeated, but the real standard is what happens in January.
