Oregon Football Just Got EVERYBODY'S Attention!

Oregon Ducks RANKED #1 by Joel Klatt in post Spring Top 25, are Ducks led by Dante Moore worth hype?

The Oregon Ducks' Autzen Stadium has never been the biggest venue in college football, but for decades, it has behaved like one of the sport’s most unforgiving environments.Autzen Stadium Gaining Reputation In Big TenMoore isn't the only athlete to recognize the special environment at Autzen Stadium. At Big Ten Media Days, Oregon Ducks on SI reporter Bri Amaranthus asked Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith his take on the stadium. Smith competed in one of the best games in Eugene: a 32-31 Ducks victory over the Buckeyes with ESPN's College Football GameDay present as fans stormed the field. "It was rocking. Probably the loudest I've ever been in," Smith said. "The fans were definitely getting hyped. Couldn't hear anything. Probably the best stadium I played in last year." Lanning response? "Yeah, I think (Smith) experienced what a lot of us Duck fans know, that our fans make a huge impact, that our stadium and our venue is really impressive and special. And not everybody in college football gets to experience that. So it's part of what makes our place so awesome," Lanning said. Maybe Autzen is underrated but maybe that doesn't matter. What does matter? 46,500 fans showing up the Ducks' spring game. And those same fans rocked the stadium when Oregon got it's first ever College Football Playoff win in Autzen in December of 2025 over the James Madison Dukes.

Predicting the Oregon Ducks' starting defense after the end of spring practicesThe Oregon Ducks head into the 2026 college football season with serious National Championship or bust expectations. Dan Lanning and the Ducks are earning high praise in the Way-Too-Early Power Rankings, and for good reason, as this roster is loaded with talent. While the offense with Dante Moore will get a ton of attention, the defense could be just as strong. Dan Lanning and the staff did a great job with player retention, returning two potential 1st round picks to the defensive line. Along with the other returning exciting pieces, the splashes in the Transfer Portal make this a potential elite defense.

Oregon baseball holds firm in polls ahead of trip to No. 1 UCLAA 3-1 record for the week helped the Ducks stay put in the national rankings. In the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll, Oregon maintained its position at No. 14. Oregon State slipped two spots to No. 8 after a pair of losses last week, putting them on the bubble for a hosting bid in the regional round. The Ducks come in at No. 27 in the RPI rankings, and a couple of big series against the schools from Los Angeles over the next two weeks could see the Ducks sliding into position to bring a regional back to Eugene. In the D1Baseball rankings, which are commonly used by teams as the official rankings, the Ducks also held firm at No. 13. Oregon could take another jump next week after traveling to face No. 1 UCLA this weekend. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/baseball/2026/05/04/oregon-baseball-rankings-stands-firm-washington-ucla/89931187007/

Predicting the Oregon Ducks' starting offense after the end of spring practicesSpring practices are in the books for the Ducks after Oregon wrapped up it's Spring game last weekend. Heading into 2026, the expectations are National Championship or bust as Dan Lanning brings back a ton of talent to supplement some exciting additions via the Transfer Portal. Plenty of eyes will be on the Oregon offense this season as Dante Moore looks to become QB1 in the loaded 2027 NFL Draft class. Aside from Dante Moore, this unit has a ton to be excited about with the pieces around Dante Moore. The cast of weapons is deep as Oregon should be able to rotate at receiver and running back to keep everyone fresh for the entire year. The concern may be getting the offensive line to gel after the NFL Draft took key pieces from the unit, but the talent is all there.

Lots of fun reading/listening to The Duck and of course the hated Roboduck. I found Oregon’s lost mascot Roboduck. | Sideline.ArchiveMeet the 3 Ducks fans who have reawakened a polarizing mascotIn 2002, the University of Oregon debuted a new duck mascot. One year later he was gone. Roboduck vanished for 23 years. This is the story of how we found him. After Nike and Phil Knight revitalised a struggling Oregon Ducks football programme in the mid-1990s, the question of the Oregon Duck mascot arose. Who actually owned Donald Duck, or Puddles the Duck? Could he rise with the school and quarterback Joey Harrington, a Heisman Trophy candidate and the face of Pac-10 football? Or was he rooted firmly to the ground by a complex copyright relationship with Disney? This is the story of Eugene, Oregon: a small, misty town in America's Pacific Northwest, a transformation, and a Frankenstein-esque tale of innovation gone too far. After his debut at Autzen Stadium in 2002, Roboduck (also known as Mandrake, Steroid Duck, and Duck Vader) vanished for 23 years. There were few sightings of him around Eugene. Even the UO athletic department had no idea where he had gone. So we embarked on a duck hunt, across Oregon Ducks history, through the rise of one of college football's most iconic programmes: to find the most hated college mascot in NCAA history. And unearth the ACTUAL story of Roboduck. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2026/05/meet-the-3-ducks-fans-who-have-reawakened-a-polarizing-mascot.html It’s ‘The Duck,’ not ‘Puddles’: A definitive history of the Oregon mascothttps://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2024/10/its-the-duck-not-puddles-a-definitive-history-of-the-oregon-mascot.html

Oregon gridiron fans eager for 2026 as two major worries lingerLike Bob Marley's three little birds, the kids will be all right. Entering their fifth season as the masterminds of the Oregon juggernaut, head coach Dan Lanning and Chief of Staff Marshall Malchow have crafted a brilliantly constructed roster with two major potential flaws: They're replacing three starters on the offensive line, one an All-American, and inside linebacker Bryce Boettcher's 136 tackles are bound for rookie mini-camp with the Indianapolis Colts.

In SuperWest Sports composite of of post spring Top 25 college football rankings, an aggregate of 21 media polls, the Ducks are again That Team Out West and among the favorites for the national championship, yet at last week's Spring Game, the patchwork, split-squad offensive line gave up 10 touch-sacks with quarterbacks in a noncontact jersey.
