Last year, Oregon Football almost started Pac-12 play with a loss but escaped Pullman with a thrilling 44-41 win against Washington State on the road. The Cougars present a very real "trap game" in 2023 for the Ducks and Dan Lanning, which other ones could cause a stumble?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin looks at games that COULD cause Oregon to stumble in 2023 even though they will be favored. The reaction to some Oklahoma fans of Xadavien Sims choosing Oregon over the Sooners should serve as a reminder to fans of every fanbase.

Ty Thompson's future at Oregon remains unclear beyond backing up Bo Nix come the start of the 2023 season, but the opportunity for him to grow will be presented this Fall and next Spring. Might he just need more in-game snaps, of which we have seen very few?
