Oregon's offense started fast with two touchdowns in the first quarter against a weak USC defense, but managed just 3 touchdowns the rest of the game. The Ducks did not play their best, but still beat USC 36-27 on Saturday night.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin gives a true instant reaction podcast to Oregon's 9th win of 2023. The Ducks have a lot to clean up going forward, including a kicking game that continues to struggle.

Oregon has secured the right to control its own destiny to reach the Pac-12 Championship game with this win over USC. The same applies, most likely, to the College Football Playoff--where the Ducks have not been since 2014.

USC comes into Autzen Stadium this Saturday on a serious slide having dropped 3 of their last 4 games, with their only win coming against a Cal team (50-49) that was beaten badly by the Ducks last week. Caleb Williams has driven their offense this year as expected, and he should be Oregon's #1 focus going into the game.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin gives a full breakdown of this week's game with USC. The Trojans made a change at defensive coordinator, but despite some talented players they don't have enough to slow down Oregon's offense led by Bo Nix.

Spencer concludes making his game prediction with the Ducks favored by 14.5 points according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Will Oregon cover that number and continue their strong season against the spread?

Oregon's defense has been vastly improved from a season ago, putting up better numbers across the board in key areas. If that unit plays how they're capable, Oregon will have a sizable margin of victory against the USC Trojans.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the biggest key to Oregon beating USC comfortably. Bo Nix has been crazily efficient this season, just how good could his numbers look by the end of the season?

Oregon was trending towards the College Football Playoff before a penultimate regular season game loss at Arizona State. This year's Oregon team feels like one unlikely to suffer such a stumble.

Before the season started, USC @ Oregon was tabbed as a possible College GameDay destination. The Trojans enter this week's matchup with 3 losses and have fallen out of the top 25, but that doesn't lessen the importance for the Ducks.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin starts looking at this week's matchup with USC. Oregon's 2nd half performances this year should give Duck fans confidence in this coaching staff.

Oregon's 2024 recruiting efforts have been fruitful so far, headlined by a pair of 5-star defensive linemen in Aydin Breland and Elijah Rushing. What sorts of questions remain for the class of 2024?

The Ducks' defensive prowess mixed with explosive offense was on display again on Saturday in a 63-19 win over Cal. They are having different players step up every week and that's a great sign with 3 regular season games to go.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at a bevy of storylines for the Ducks as they head into this week's matchup with USC. The Trojans recently fired defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, does that change anything for this week's matchup?

Oregon has 1 loss to Washington on the year, which they will hopefully have the chance to avenge in the Pac-12 Championship game. If that plays out, are the Ducks guaranteed a spot in the 4-team College Football Playoff?

Oregon had a sloppy mistake lead to a Cal touchdown, and the first play from scrimmage was an interception that went right of WR Tez Johnson's hands. And the Ducks still dominated by the end, getting backups some run. When the Ducks are at their best, nobody in the Pac-12 can stop them.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the fallout from Oregon's big 63-19 win over Cal. Bo Nix is a Heisman candidate, and he played like it--again.

Oregon's defense under Dan Lanning and his staff has taken a big leap forward this year. We will know just how high their ceiling is when USC comes to town next Saturday.

The rain was pouring early in Eugene on Saturday, and that helped Cal stick around in the early going. Once it cleared, the Bears were no match for the Ducks who rolled once again in front of their home fans.

On this reaction episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin gives instant thoughts to the Ducks' dominant 63-19 win over Cal. The offense led by Bo Nix was shining bright once again, with WR Tez Johnson having his biggest game to date.

At the end of the game, Oregon QB Ty Thompson got into the game. Once again, he looked like someone capable of being the Ducks' starting quarterback in 2024 and beyond. His improvement is noteworthy from a year ago.

Last year for just over a quarter, Cal was hanging around with Oregon down in Berkeley. The Ducks eventually pulled away and had backups into the game by the time the fourth quarter came to a close. If Oregon plays how they're capable, Cal won't be able to slow down a big time win for the Ducks.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Thomas Dunn of writeforcalifornia.com. They talk about what Cal can do, if anything, to keep it close for at least a while with the high-flying Ducks.

They also dive into key matchups and players that Oregon fans should be aware of heading into Saturday's game with the Bears. Both make their game predictions, and both think Oregon will roll at home and improve to 8-1.
