Oregon edge coach outlines how Oregon's defense will create more havoc in 2026

Earlier this week, ESPN's Bill Connelly identified a trio of areas in which the Ducks must excel in 2026 should a national-title-winning season be in the cards. Among them was creating more havoc. 

As Connelly outlined, the Ducks reached the College Football Playoff semifinals in 2025 in spite of having "the nation's 46th sack rate and 98th run stuff rate". Those figures are more in line with a mediocre defensive front than one capable of reaching the promised land. 

Newly-promoted edge coach Kamran Araghi won't dispute what Connelly and others have said about the defense this season. A season ago wasn't to standard, as he said on an upcoming episode of the Autzen Audibles podcast, and changing that has been an offseason focal point.
