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.
