October 22 Previewing and Predicting Oregon vs. Illinois in Champaign
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins sit down to preview Oregon Football's Week 8 game on the road against the Illinois Fighting Illini.
The Ducks are coming off of two straight weeks of low-scoring contest after narrowly escaping Nebraska at home in a 17-14 win.
Dan Lanning sat Dylan Raiola for three quarters but he was ready for his moment when the Ducks finally called his number and he willed them to a win against his former team. Oregon's offense will be without Dante Moore and wide receiver Evan Stewart once again, as anticipation builds around whether or not Moore will return to the field for the Ducks in 2026.
Oregon's defense has been playing lights out lately and they'll face a true freshman making his first college start in Illinois' Michael Clayton II. Every game means something and just like last week, the Ducks can't afford to take a third loss, as it would mean the end of their college football playoff hopes this season.

October 22 Oregon Heads to Champaign for Clash With Illinois | Drew Pastorek Joins
ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres is joined by Drew Pastorek of the Oskee Talk Podcast and Champaign Room on SB Nation.
Max and Drew discuss this weekend's Big Ten matchup between the Oregon Ducks and the Illinois Fighting Illini.
The Ducks and Illini last met in 2024, a game Oregon won 38-9 in Eugene. Oregon leads the all-time series 3-1 and continues to look for answers on offense after struggling to move the ball in consecutive games against UCLA and Nebraska.
Fortunately for the Ducks, their defense has been playing lights out and trending up heading into this week's road trip. Matayo Uiagalelei, Teiutum Tuioti and Nasir Wyatt have all been dominant on the EDGE for the Ducks. A'Mauri Washington and Bear Alexander have been thriving as well.
Max and Drew get into some of the top storylines and players to watch heading into Saturday's game and give viewers a great look at both Oregon and Illinois.

October 19 REACTION: Oregon Defeats Nebraska 17-14 to Secure CRUCIAL Win
Oregon entered Week 7 in a do or die game as the Ducks couldn't afford to take a third loss. ScoopDuck's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins break down Oregon's 17-14 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers and react to the news of wide receiver Evan Stewart's arrest on a DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) Sunday morning.
The Ducks' offense struggle for three quarters after Brock Thomas got the start and quarterback. But things finally started to turn around when Dan Lanning make the call to bring in Dylan Raiola, who led the Ducks on two scoring and drives and eventually threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Jamari Johnson.
Oregon's defense continues to play lights out and round in to form as the front seven turned in another strong performance, limiting Nebraska to 78 yards rushing and logging three sacks.
The Ducks now head to Illinois for a Week 8 matchup. Will Dante Moore finally be ready to return? We'll find out later this week.

October 16 Can the Ducks Keep Their Playoff Hopes Alive? Final Thoughts Ahead of Oregon vs. Nebraska
Oregon's 2026 season feels like it's on the brink with the Nebraska Cornhuskers coming to Eugene for a Saturday night showdown. ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins weigh in with their final thoughts ahead of the game.
Oregon will be without Dante Moore once again, which likely points to either Dylan Raiola or Brock Thomas as the starting quarterback. A third loss would likely all but eliminate the Ducks from the playoffs. With Ohio State looming on the schedule a few weeks down the road, the next three weeks will be absolutely pivotal for Oregon's season outlook.
Nebraska draws Oregon after playing Indiana tough and squandering away a late lead to fall to the Hoosiers in Lincoln. Oregon's defense has continued to improve throughout the season, but the offense wasted that last week against UCLA.
If Oregon can even get slightly above average play from their offense, they should have a great shot against Nebraska. But a struggling offensive line and a wide receiver group that could be without Evan Stewart only creates more skepticism.

October 15 Oregon Aims to Get Back on Track vs. Nebraska | Emily Taylor Joins
ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres is joined by Emily Taylor, host of the Saturday Huddle Podcast and a lifelong Oregon Football fan, to preview Oregon's games against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Eugene.
The Ducks have a quarterback controversy on their hands, just not in the positive way. It's no given that Dylan Raiola will start for the Ducks after a rough showing against UCLA last weekend. Oregon's season hangs in the balance, so they're also considering starting former walk-on Brock Thomas, who has more experience in the Oregon system.
The defense will have to do the heavy lifting in all likelihood as Oregon welcomes a Nebraska team that played Indiana close and nearly knocked off the Hoosiers in Lincoln last weekend.
Oregon is as a crossroads as a third loss would more than likely eliminate them from the 2026 College Football Playoff.

October 12 REACTION: UCLA Defeats Oregon 17-15 | Where do the Ducks go From Here?
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins react to Oregon's 17-15 loss to UCLA as the Ducks fall to 3-2 on the year.
Oregon's season hangs in the balance in the middle of October. That's not something many people saw coming heading into the year. Dante Moore's return timeline is unclear and Dylan Raiola struggled to do anything behind a porous offensive line, turning the ball over three times as Oregon squandered away a great showing from their defense against the Bruins.
Oregon is facing some very tough questions with Nebraska coming to town and their schedule looking more daunting than it did in the offseason.
Will the Ducks be able to salvage their season and right the ship to make the playoff? It feels like that's off the table, but that's why you play the games.
Maybe Oregon surprises some people, but it's looking bleak in Eugene as we enter Week 7 of the college football season.

October 10 UCLA GAMEDAY: The Latest in Oregon Football Recruiting
ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres joins Justin Grossweiner of FoxSports Eugene for his weekly Oregon Football Recruiting radio hit. Max and Justin preview a big recruiting weekend for Dan Lanning and the No. 13 Ducks.
A number of blue-chip prospects will make their way to the Pacific Northwest, headlined by 5-star Chicago EDGE Kameron McGee and quarterback Tristin 'T.K.' Gaines. Gaines has been adamant about Oregon leading his recruitment, but is also weighing options in his home state of Texas.
Defensive backs Jalen Flowers and Ca'Ron 'Prime' Williams will be in town as top early targets. California linebacker Landon Miller will be back in Eugene and he's one of Brian Michalowski's top options in the 2028 class.
It's a loaded weekend and Oregon has a chance to make another major impression with No. 21 UCLA in town.

October 08 PREVIEW: No. 13 Oregon vs. No. 21 UCLA | Tracy McDannald Joins
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins sit down with Tracy McDannald of Bruin Report Online, UCLA's On3 site to preview No. 13 Oregon vs. No. 21 UCLA in Eugene this weekend.
The Ducks and Bruins are both coming off of bye weeks, and Oregon will look to continue building on the momentum from a big 41-27 win over USC.
Oregon will turn to Dylan Raiola to start his first game as a Duck after stepping up for the injured Dante Moore following his concussion.
UCLA is 4-0 under new head coach Bob Chesney and presents a unique challenge for the Ducks with their dominant rushing attack, led by JMU transfer Wayne Knight. The Ducks return home to Eugene for another ranked matchup in what promises to be an entertaining clash of two big West Coast programs.
Can Oregon stay hot and bring the intensity coming out of their bye week? It hasn't exactly been their strength in the Dan Lanning era, but they have a chance to change that when the Bruins come to town.
