Dan Lanning and his staff brought in a bevy of transfers this offseason to improve the defense. The early returns on that side of the ball could not be much better at this point in the season after the Ducks' 2nd straight 42-6 win over Stanford.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at takeaways from Oregon's big win over the Cardinal. Oregon's sack rate is dramatically improved from a year ago, and the defensive front is playing in perfect tandem with the secondary.

With blowout wins on their schedule at this point, Oregon has gotten young players time on the field who might be ready to majorly contribute next season. Spencer looks at who some of those players might be on both sides of the ball.
