5-star EDGE Elijah Rushing has boosted Oregon's 2024 recruiting class, now teetering on a top-5 cycle nationally. Can they get over that threshold with more blue chip recruits in their sights?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Locked On recruiting insider Brian Smith to talk about Oregon's currently-ranked #6 class in the country. Dan Lanning and his staff are going to push for the highest-ranked class in program history.

The Ducks are a massive 24-point favorite against the Cal Bears on Saturday, a team under Justin Wilcox that has given the Ducks fits at Autzen Stadium in the past. There's a reason they are favored so heavily. Plus, should the Ducks want Washington to win all their remaining games?

Tuesday night saw the release of the first CFP rankings of the season, with the Ducks coming in well inside the top 10 at #6, 1 slot behind the 8-0 Washington Huskies. If Dan Lanning's team wins out and captures the Pac-12 Championship, Oregon will have a chance to play for the national championship as a CFP semifinalist.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at where Oregon falls into the College Football Playoff landscape. As the Pac-12 beats up on itself, will Oregon's strength of schedule be materially affected?

Oregon's defense has been playing at a very high level in this coaching staff's second year at the helm. When was the last time that unit played this well for the Ducks?

Oregon is still riding high after the big win over Utah in Salt Lake City. Dan Lanning raised the excitement level once again by landing another 5-star in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Elijah Rushing plans to be an Oregon Duck.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin also continues a Tuesday tradition during the year. The individual standouts from Saturday's big win over Utah were numerous on both sides of the ball beyond the big-name players like Bo Nix and Bucky Irving.

Since the loss to Washington, Oregon has outscored a couple of quality opponents (especially Utah) by 43 points. Dan Lanning's coaching is impossible to question right now.

Oregon moved to 7-1 on Saturday with a dominant win over #13 Utah, 35-6, with the Ducks' overpowering the Utes on both sides of the ball. 21 games into Dan Lanning's young coaching career, it was his best win yet.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin breaks down Oregon's big road win over the Utes. Oregon ended the game with 8 penalties, but it didn't matter. When Oregon plays at their best, they're the best team in the Pac-12.

Bo Nix continues to be the most consistent quarterback in the country, and Oregon is better because of it. He has a great offensive coordinator in Will Stein, who's defensive counterparts also had a fantastic game.

For the second time this season, Oregon was the College GameDay game on the road as they faced a hostile crowd at Rice-Eccles stadium. They made a huge statement, utterly overpowering the Utes 35-6 on their home field.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin gives a full reaction to Oregon's most impressive game of the season. They did so on a big stage and did something not seen since 2018--which might bode well for the future.

Oregon controls their own fate to reach the Pac-12 Championship and College Football Playoff this year. The win clarifies that not just from a record standpoint, but proving that Dan Lanning and co. have a team more than capable of playing at that level.

College GameDay will be in Salt Lake City on Saturday morning for #13 Utah hosting #8 Oregon. The Ducks and Utes are both playing with their CFP and likely Pac-12 title hopes on the line. The stakes can't be much higher.

Today's episode of Locked On Ducks is a crossover edition with 'Locked On Utes' host JT Wistrcill. They go in depth on the matchups that will end up deciding the game.

Utah has not lost a true home game with fans in attendance since 2018, and Oregon's prior meeting with Washington this year should give Duck fans confidence. Spencer and JT close out the show by making their game predictions for Saturday afternoon.

Oregon has run the ball at an elite level this season, headlined by Bucky Irving with Jordan James serving as a wildly effective backup. If the Ducks continue to run the ball well, they will beat Utah on Saturday.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the matchups that will define this week's showdown with the Utes. Utah quarterback Bryson Barnes has a number of similar traits to another QB that Oregon has already seen this year.

Oregon's 2024 recruiting efforts ticked up when 5-star DL Aydin Breland committed to the Ducks before the Washington game. Locked On recruiting insider Brian Smith joins the show to discuss whether that's the last 5-star recruit the Ducks will land this cycle.

Utah has not lost a home game with fans in attendance since 2018, boasting one of the best home field advantages in all of college football. Oregon knows full well how hard it is to win in Salt Lake City, and perhaps the toughest aspect is their head coach Kyle Whittingham.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the most difficult aspect of playing Utah. Plus, a look at some of the unsung heroes for Oregon through 7 games this season--mostly on defense.

Oregon's 3rd down defense was a big issue last season, and to the credit of the coaching staff they have improved dramatically. Utah's front 7 is among the best in the Pac-12 for their stingy defense. How can Oregon attack it?

Oregon has the most complete team in the Pac-12 with big time playmakers on both sides of the ball, particularly with an offense led by Bo Nix and Bucky Irving. So what are the weakest areas of this team that has proved itself to be a Pac-12 and College Football Playoff contender?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin continues a Tuesday tradition in highlighting individual standouts from Saturday's game. At the top of the list is newcomer Jestin Jacobs, who made his long-awaited season debut after transferring from Iowa this offseason.

Oregon kicker Camden Lewis has missed a field goal in 3 consecutive games, including the potential game-tying kick to force overtime against Washington. Lewis has had a really good career as a Duck, but his struggles are a problem for Oregon right now.
