With Oregon Football's 2022 season just four days away following a tumultuous offseason, how should Duck fans feel before they travel to Atlanta? Although some unknowns remain, Oregon's talent is still such (even with a couple notable losses) that they should expect to once again be competitive in the Pac-12. Another trip to Las Vegas and the Pac-12 Football Championship Game should once again be in the cards and a reasonable barometer for success in year 1 under Dan Lanning and his new staff.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to talk about the mood around the progrum with the season a few days away. The Georgia game presents a unique challenge that few teams, even Oregon, have the opportunity to do. Though another upset victory would be welcome by all, it's unlikely and Duck fans should recognize that moral victories do count--but for this Saturday only.

Though the offense is perhaps the biggest unknown for the Ducks heading into 2022, it could perhaps be their biggest advantage against Georgia this week--even more than Dan Lanning's familiarity with the Georgia Bulldogs and their schemes. The trenches will be crucial for the Ducks to keep it close against #3 Georgia on Saturday, and there are multiple important keys for the defense as well to keep the Ducks in the game.
