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.

On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres joins Dale Bliss on the Oregon Fan Show to discuss the Ducks' matchup against the No. 21 UCLA Bruins in Eugene this weekend.
Max and Dale react to the initial availability report that ruled quarterback Dante Moore OUT for the Week 6 contest and listed starting safety Aaron Flowers as doubtful.
Other topics on the podcast include Oregon's developing offensive line, what's preventing the defense from reaching its potential and the stars on Oregon's offense that have made this such a special group.
Max ends with a quick look at some of the recruits that expected to visit Oregon for this weekend's big matchup.

October 05 Oregon Returns to Autzen for Top-25 Clash With UCLA
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins take their first look at No. 13 Oregon vs. No. 21 UCLA in Week 6.
Both teams are coming off of bye weeks and this matchup will be the second time Dan Lanning and Bob Chesney have faced off as head coaches. But it'll be the first since Chesney left James Madison, who he took to the playoffs last year, for Westwood as he tries to breathe new life into a UCLA program that hasn't been relevant in years. Oregon is coming off of a 41-27 win over the USC Trojans and losing quarterback Dante Moore to a concussion.
Dylan Raiola stepped in seamlessly and the offense didn't miss a beat. The Oregon defense came up with the stops it needed to and the Ducks left Los Angeles with a very important win to keep their season on track.
This Week 6 matchup will tell us more about where the Ducks are in their journey to reaching their full potential as they welcome a talented and perhaps more importantly, well-coached team to Eugene.

October 01 Bye Week Check-In, What to Make of Oregon's 3-1 Start
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins sit down to do a bye week check-in around Oregon Football.
The Ducks sit at 3-1 on the year and will face an undefeated UCLA team that looks dangerous under new head coach Bob Chesney. Oregon's offense certainly looks like it's capable of putting up tons of points, lead by great talent at wide receiver, running back and tight end. But what's the ceiling of the offensive line as they struggled out of the gate?
They played their best game against USC, but we still don't know how they'll perform against the elite teams of college football.
The Ducks made some strides defensively against USC, particularly holding the Trojans to 2 for 11 on third down. The defensive line looked more like the group we expected going into the year, specifically A'Mauri Washington, who is getting closer to full health. Will the safeties start to put things together in the offseason?
All of that and much more on the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast.

September 30 Upon Further Review: Oregon's Win Over USC | Zachary Neel Joins
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres sits down with Zachary Neel of DucksWire to take a deeper dive into Oregon Football's 41-27 win over the USC Trojans in Week 4.
Oregon had a ton of questions that they needed to answer about their team heading into the matchup, and while not all of them were answered, we still learned a lot about what the Ducks can be in 2026. They should be fine at quarterback with or without Dante Moore, as Dylan Raiola rose to the occasion and looked every bit the 5-star recruit he was coming out of high school.
Oregon's offensive line had its best game of the season and the Ducks got big-time contributions from their star playmakers on offense.
The defense, while not without its own concerns, also stepped up to get off the field after forcing big stops and getting more consistent pressure on quarterback Jayden Maiava. How Oregon can build off of this win and more entering the bye in this episode!

September 27 REACTION: Oregon Storms LA to Defeat USC 41-27
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins give react to Oregon's monster 41-27 win over USC on the road in Los Angeles.
Saturday's game became a shootout as both Oregon and USC's defenses did not have days to remember. The Ducks won the battle at the line of scrimmage and were able to run the ball enough and bottle up USC's run to get the win.
A scary hit to Dante Moore knocked him out of the game and sent him to the hospital, but backup quarterback Dylan Raiola steadied the ship and carried Oregon to a huge win they really needed.
The Ducks move to 3-1 on the year and 1-0 in Big Ten play as they enter their bye week before facing an undefeated UCLA team at home in Week 6.

September 26 USC GAMEDAY: The Latest in Oregon Recruiting
Oregon vs. USC is nearly here! ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres helps you pass the time before kickoff as he joins Justin Grossweiner and Kyle Clements of FoxSports Eugene for his weekly Oregon Football recruiting radio hit.
The guys talk about this week's game between two of the West Coast's iconic programs, what's on the line and so much more!
Max dives into the latest on Oregon targets that will be in Los Angeles to visit USC for this game. The Ducks and the Trojans continue to overlap on the recruiting trail in one of the fiercest rivalries for talent with prospects like wide receiver Hayden Koo, safety Jalen Flowers and cornerback Ca'Ron Williams.
Max offers the latest on elite quarterback Josiah Boyd who visited for the Portland State game and elite defensive lineman/EDGE Landen Wade.

September 25 Crossover! Ducks Dish x BLeav in USC Ahead of No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres joins the BLeav in USC Podcast to preview No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC in Los Angeles in Week 4.
This has all the makings of a game of the week as Dan Lanning and the Ducks collide with Lincoln Riley and the Trojans. Oregon has momentum on their side in this rivalry, but this is the shakiest the Ducks have looked since Lanning got waxed by Georgia in his debut as a head coach.
The talent is there for Oregon, it's about the coaches getting the best out of the players. Dante Moore didn't look like himself in the Week 2 loss to Stillwater and facing Portland State wasn't a good litmus test. He'll face a talented defensive front but the Trojans are missing some players due to injury. If Oregon's offense can maintain drives, get points on the board and take care of the ball against USC, the Ducks have a real shot at winning.
USC and Jayden Maiava won't make it easy, and this game presents a huge hump for Riley to get over as head coach. People are asking: if he can't beat this Oregon team, when will he be able to beat the Ducks?
