Former 5-star QB Ty Thompson enters year 3 as a Duck and has yet to start a game for the Ducks and his action on the field has been limited in real game action. In order for him to improve he will need to see live game reps, but how many of those chances will be afforded to him in 2023 barring an injury to Bo Nix?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses one of the most discussed Oregon players to have never started a game. The defense has improved on paper, but just how much better can they be?

The 12-team playoff is coming in college football starting in 2024, despite Spencer's longstanding opposition to the idea. He explains why, despite its benefits, the negatives outweigh the positives for the sport of college football.
