Oregon's offensive line was one of the biggest question marks coming into this season. How did that group fair in week 1 against Boise State?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin gives his first "Individual Standouts" segment of the year, listing those players who contributed in a big way but flew under the radar in the game.

Oregon DC Chris Hampton didn't get off to a perfect start in the eyes of Duck fans. Should confidence in his ability to call defensive plays be shaky or should time be given?

Oregon's win over Boise State was ugly but the Ducks did just enough to win 34-27. There were in fact a lot of positives from the game, despite all the struggles.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin breaks down the game that Dante Moore played at QB. His start to the season was perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the day.

The Ducks' defensive line got a lot of preseason hype as being perhaps the best in the country. For one half of football, they played like it when they needed to.
