Oregon Football's offense has been prolific at spreading the ball around in 2022, but still there are certainly players who may seek more playing time elsewhere once the season comes to an end. How willing are skill position players nowadays to be patient to earn playing time with a one-time immediate transfer now available to them?

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Sports Illustrated's director of recruiting, John Garcia. 2023 4-star running back (verbal) commit Dante Dowdell recently got an offer from the in-state Mississippi State Bulldogs. Does Mike Leach's team throwing their hat in the ring affect the likelihood he ends up playing for the Ducks?

John also provides an update on several Oregon Football recruiting targets, including 5-star WR Jurrion Dickey who's Oregon's 2nd-highest rated verbal commit in the 2023 cycle. The Ducks have offered and been after two other 5-stars, one on the OL and one on the DL--John sheds light on where Oregon stands with EDGE Matayo Uiagalelei and OL Samson Okunlola.

After opening the season with a 49-3 loss in Atlanta to the Georgia Bulldogs, Oregon Football fell out of the top 25. Now after winning 5 straight, they're the highest-ranked 1-loss team in the country. Is making the CFP out of the question?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin answers that very question. The path to being in the top 4 at the end of the year certainly exists for the Ducks, but that lengthy sequence of events would be asking a lot in more ways than one.

Another listener poses a pair of questions for Spencer to answer on today's show, leading to an examination of some over and under performers for the Ducks on each side of the ball at the midway point of 2022. Dan Lanning and his staff have had lots of success this season, might Oregon's head coach have his contract re-worked already?

Oregon Football's defense has had its ups and downs through 6 games, but they continue to show signs of growth heading into the bye week. Plenty of individuals who Duck fans expected to play well are having strong seasons, but others like true freshman CB Jahlil Florence are starting to become impact players. Is former 5-star CB Dontae Manning at long last turning a corner?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how the defense performed on the road this week in their best showing of 2022 away from Autzen Stadium. Dan Lanning has stressed in every press conference how this team needs to continue to get better, and there's one area on the defensive side of the ball where that continues to be true.

After high praise for OC Kenny Dillingham on yesterday's show, it's important to look at the individual players who are executing his offense at a high level. Bo Nix had another strong outing, and the vast array of weapons the Ducks have shown this season are making them difficult to defend every week.

For the 5th game in a row, Oregon's offense surpassed the 40-point threshold in a 49-22 dispensing of the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson. OC Kenny Dillingham, just 32 years young, was arguably the least proven coach that was hired on Dan Lanning's staff this offseason. He's proving himself to be the right man for the job to orchestrate the Ducks' offense.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin breaks down why Dillingham has been such a great offensive coordinator for the offense led by Bo Nix. His ability to be multiple and utilize the array of weapons Oregon has recruited over the years seems to be maximizing the Ducks' offensive potential.

Spencer looks at the rest of the Ducks' first win in the desert since 2015 and why it was an encouraging performance from the defense--which still has room to improve as Dan Lanning mentioned once again.

Arizona Football is a far cry from its 1-11 season a year ago in 2022, and they already have 3 wins in large part because of their offensive weapons. Former Washington State QB Jayden de Laura has been very productive, and his three leading wide receivers are a big reason why.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the dangers that Arizona poses for Oregon on Saturday. Each of Tetairoa McMillan, Dorian Singer, and Jacob Cowing present a unique danger for the Ducks' secondary which has had its ups and downs this year. How might the defense matchup with each of them?

Playing on the road in conference is never easy, but Oregon can mitigate the effects of playing in a stadium where the progrum has struggled in the past in more ways than one. Most importantly, they need to be able to exploit that which Arizona has failed to do this season: stop the run. Bucky Irving and co. should be in line for a productive day in Tucson.

Oregon Football has not won a football game in the state of Arizona since 2015, losing their last 2 contests in 2019 and 2018 to the Sun Devils and Wildcats, respectively. They go into this weekend's matchup with the Arizona Wildcats as double-digit favorites, and there's one glaring reason that may be driving the betting markets' confidence in the Ducks.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at some of the big-picture factors that give Oregon an advantage this week as they head back on the road. The success of their running game should continue against a much-improved Arizona team from a year ago. Their offense has stepped it up, but their defense (particularly on the ground) is an exploitable area for Oregon's OC Kenny Dillingham.

Spencer wraps up today's show taking a listener's question about someone who rarely sees the field, but might have a chance to on Saturday if Oregon plays to their potential: QB Ty Thompson. The highly-rated prospect has not been sharp in his limited action this year, so have Duck fans seen enough to make conclusions about what his future could be?

Oregon Football's offense was impressive after a rocky first quarter en route to beating Stanford 45-27, and several 2023 recruiting prospects were at Autzen Stadium on Saturday to see the game in person. In addition to a couple of notable 4-star offensive linemen, the surprise visitor on campus was 5-star WR prospect (and Texas verbal commit) John Cook II. The Ducks may still be in the running despite his verbal commitment to the Longhorns.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Sports Illustrated's director of recruiting, John Garcia. He talks about what it's like for a recruit to visit during the season, and also what that looks like from the coaches' perspective. John also provides insight as to where Oregon stands with the slew of recruits who were on campus to watch Oregon take care of Stanford 45-27.

Perhaps unsurprisingly having hired a former defensive coordinator as HC, the Ducks' 2023 recruiting class features plenty of defensive recruits including a plethora of defensive linemen and EDGE prospects. Their latest commit, 3-star Jaeden Moore, is one of several EDGE players the Ducks have committed for the 2023 cycle. John breaks down what makes him an intriguing prospect, and also comments on Oregon's highest-rated DL commit (for now) in 4-star DT A'umari Washington.

The score at halftime was 31-3 at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, despite a sluggish start for Oregon Football's offense that was held back by penalties. An explosive second quarter that saw 21 points go up on the board in a matter of minutes, combined with a dominant defensive showing, helped the Ducks get non-starters into the game for several drives in the fourth quarter. The blowout score was a refreshing sight for Oregon fans.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to talk about the Ducks taking care of business against the Cardinal. Stanford came in with a long losing streak against FBS teams fueled by a defense that has struggled to stop the run, and they allowed over 300 rushing yards to Oregon in this game. The offensive line, running backs, and OC Kenny Dillingham were operating at a high level to gash the Cardinal's defense.

The scoreboard told one story, but the game in many ways told another with regards to how far Oregon still has to go in order to reappear in the Pac-12 Championship Game this season. Red zone execution and 135 (!!!) penalty yards are areas that the Ducks still have to clean up going forward, but other areas show growth from earlier this season.

It wasn't the hottest start for Oregon Football's offense, but the defense dominated the first half and the Ducks led 31-3 at the half. Oregon's ground game continued to flourish behind a strong offensive line, and the #1 RB of the ball carriers (Bucky Irving) had 90 yards rushing in the second quarter.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the individual standouts from Oregon's 4th straight win in the 2022 season. Bo Nix was more involved in the running game than he had been this season, becoming the first Oregon player to rush for 100+ yards in a game this season.

Dan Lanning has often spoke of having a growth mindset, and his tone in the post game press conference was not typical for a team that had reserves playing in the second half. That is because the Ducks still have lingering problems that they need to clean up going forward.

After handing the Ducks an upset loss in 2021 when Oregon had reached #3 in the country, Oregon comes into Autzen stadium this Saturday against a Cardinal team that has been struggling mightily dating back to last season. Their offense has lacked in execution in the red zone, and their defense has struggled across the board to stop the run and has also been vulnerable through the air. After Oregon's thrilling win in Pullman last weekend, they should be in a position to cover the 17-point spread against Stanford this week.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to look at why Oregon can--and should--win big on Saturday playing host to Stanford. With the Ducks coming in with momentum on offense and a stingy run defense, combined with a couple notable injuries on the Cardinal's offensive line, Oregon fans should expect to see their team win handily at home inside the confines of Autzen Stadium.

They conclude answering a question sent in by a listener regarding the long-term outlook of Oregon Football's future. As the situation currently stands, who is the most likely candidate to be the Ducks' starting QB in 2023? Rian and Spencer share why they view the answer (at this time) differently.
