College football's biggest fall camp risers: Ohio State, Alabama players surge after first weekWith the 2026 season fast approaching, these players are off to fast starts at camp Nasir Wyatt, LB, Oregon From failing to bulk up early in his career to now tipping the scales at a muscular 245 pounds, Wyatt finally looks the part as one of the Ducks' outside linebackers. Defensive coordinator Chris Hampton said after Oregon's second day of fall camp that Wyatt has a chance to be an "every-down player" this fall, which speaks to his offseason body makeover and what he's shown on the field early. That level of consistency must continue, Hampton says, to warrant extended reps at an uber-talented position group for one of the Big Ten's frontrunners. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-fall-camp-risers-ohio-state-alabama/

What Dante Moore could learn from Darron ThomasToughness. Darron Thomas had it in spades, and he was a big-game quarterback, a guy who would stand in there to complete a throw, more athlete than quarterback, not anywhere near as gifted as the Motor City Magician in spinning the football. Thomas led the Ducks to two conference titles in two seasons. At 6-3, 215 he posted a 23-3 record as a starter, second in school history behind Marcus Mariota at 25-3, tied with Joey Harrington. He lost one conference game in his career, to Matt Barkley and USC in 2011, a night the offense went cold. Autzen ZooWhat Dante Moore could learn from Darron ThomasToughness.

Opening Ohio State-Oregon betting line sends concerning message to DucksOregon opens as staggering underdogs against Ohio StateAccording to the early lines set by DraftKings Sportsbook, Ohio State opens as 6-point favorites (-110) over the Ducks. The oddsmakers also see the matchup being a high-scoring affair, with the total set at 52.5 points (-110). All lines and odds are subject to change It feels like the last time these teams faced off certainly is in the minds of the oddsmakers, from when the Buckeyes dismantled the Ducks in the Rose Bowl. While that result may factor into the decision, the teams are far different, and the Ducks also won the regular season matchup. Both of these teams will enter the season as front runners to win the National Championship, and making Oregon 6 point underdogs feels incredibly disrespectful. When you look at these teams on paper, they're both loaded with talent, and you may even favor the talent of the Ducks when you go up and down the roster.

SUNDAY MORNING SIDEWALK: MADE FOR COOPERATIONThere is an old thought from Marcus Aurelius that kept coming to mind as I considered it: “We are made for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth.” The larger idea is that cooperation is part of our nature. Hands aren't particularly useful because each finger performs its own job brilliantly while ignoring the other four. Teeth don't accomplish much by operating independently. The parts have individual responsibilities, but their real value emerges from the way they function together. Football isn't much different, and perhaps that's why one of the most important things Oregon has been building this offseason hasn't always looked like football.

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/

DREW MEHRINGER: “IT’S A MERITOCRACY. YOU’VE GOT TO GO OUT AND EARN IT”THREE PRACTICES INTO FALL CAMP, OREGON’S NEW OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR IS BALANCING CREATIVITY WITH EXECUTION WHILE BUILDING AROUND DANTE MOORE’S LEADERSHIP, AN EXPANDING GROUP OF PLAYMAKERS AND COMPETITION THROUGHOUT THE DEPTH CHART.Drew Mehringer has apparently developed a reputation inside Oregon’s locker room. Dante Moore called him a scientist at media day. Kawika Rogers went further, describing Mehringer as “Albert Einstein for football” because of the coordinator’s ability to look at a defense, diagnose the front and coverage and immediately understand how Oregon should attack it. Mehringer learned about the comparison after Oregon’s third fall-camp practice. “That’s news to me,” he said. He appreciated the compliment, but his explanation of what he actually wants to accomplish revealed something more important about Oregon’s new offensive coordinator than the nickname. “I think it’s cool that the players have respect for what you know,” Mehringer said. “We’re all just trying to do the best we can and put them in the best position possible and continue to educate them on more than just what they do on any given play, but how the game works and what can prepare them to play at the next level and play for as long as they possibly can.” Then came the part that has become a recurring theme through Oregon’s first three practices. “Just got to go out and get a little bit better every day and keep teaching them and keep growing them.” Drew Mehringer: “It’s a meritocracy.

YOU CAN’T BE GREAT UNLESS YOU’RE UNCOMFORTABLE: OREGON’S NEWCOMERS DID NOT COME TO EUGENE TO BE COMFORTABLEKoi Perich, Michael Bennett III and Marcus Dixon arrived through different paths, but each has embraced the same challenge: Learn quickly, accept coaching and find a role within a roster that expects competition to strengthen connection.Koi Perich had spent his entire life in Minnesota. He grew up in a town of fewer than 1,500 people, played football close to home and eventually became one of the most productive defensive backs in the Big Ten. Transferring to Oregon meant leaving the familiar environment that had shaped nearly every part of his life. That was part of the appeal. “I wanted to be uncomfortable,” Perich said. “That’s something I wanted to do in my process. I knew that was a big opportunity that I needed to do.” Perich did not view discomfort as an unfortunate cost of pursuing a larger opportunity. He viewed it as a requirement. “You can’t be great unless you’re uncomfortable,” Perich said.

Construction crews are working on the program’s expanding football complex. The welding and structural work are familiar to Ettridge because he spent years performing similar jobs in Australia. “Some of the stuff out there, that’s exactly what I was doing back in Australia,” Ettridge said. “Not as big as that, but certainly that scope of work.” The view provides a regular reminder of how significantly his life changed.
