Dan Lanning came to Oregon after having won a national championship as Georgia's defensive coordinator, giving Duck fans plenty of reasons to be excited. In some ways more than others, but certainly more than one, Lanning is thus far living up to that excitement level with still room to grow.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin dives into a variety of topics from listener mailbag questions. Bo Nix is back and Oregon's defense looks improved from a year ago, so how does that change our expectations right now for 2023?

Oregon's 2023 schedule has a quality, and tough, non-conference game in week 2 when they travel to Lubbock, TX to play Texas Tech. Besides the rivalries against Washington and Oregon State, that's one of the games that would be most satisfying to have a blowout victory in. Is it the top option?
