Upon Further Review: Oregon's Win Over USC | Zachary Neel Joins
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres sits down with Zachary Neel of DucksWire to take a deeper dive into Oregon Football's 41-27 win over the USC Trojans in Week 4.
Oregon had a ton of questions that they needed to answer about their team heading into the matchup, and while not all of them were answered, we still learned a lot about what the Ducks can be in 2026. They should be fine at quarterback with or without Dante Moore, as Dylan Raiola rose to the occasion and looked every bit the 5-star recruit he was coming out of high school.<...
REACTION: Oregon Storms LA to Defeat USC 41-27
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins give react to Oregon's monster 41-27 win over USC on the road in Los Angeles.
Saturday's game became a shootout as both Oregon and USC's defenses did not have days to remember. The Ducks won the battle at the line of scrimmage and were able to run the ball enough and bottle up USC's run to get the win.
A scary hit to Dante Moore knocked him out of the game and sent him to the hospital, but backup quarterback Dylan Raiola steadied the ship and carried Oregon...

ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres joins the BLeav in USC Podcast to preview No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC in Los Angeles in Week 4.
This has all the makings of a game of the week as Dan Lanning and the Ducks collide with Lincoln Riley and the Trojans. Oregon has momentum on their side in this rivalry, but this is the shakiest the Ducks have looked since Lanning got waxed by Georgia in his debut as a head coach.
The talent is there for Oregon, it's about the coaches getting the best out of the players. Dante...
What's on the Line in No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins share their final thoughts ahead of Oregon and USC colliding in the Coliseum this weekend. Oregon has a ton of questions to answer since their loss to Oklahoma State in Week 2 and none of those were answered against FCS Portland State last week.
Will Dante Moore look like the top draft pick he's been made out to be? Will the Ducks' offensive line be able to keep him upright and open lanes for the running backs? Is Oregon going to be good on the road in Big Ten play like...

Ducks Dominate Portland State 84-0 | Big Ten Opener vs. USC Up Next |
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins share their thoughts on Oregon Football's 84-0 win over Portland State in Week 3.
It was never going to be much of a game, but this was something the Ducks desperately needed as they try to find themselves again and put the Oklahoma State loss behind them. Dante Moore tossed four touchdowns and only had four incompletions on the night, which gave fans their first look at Dylan Raiola, who may be next in line at quarterback following Moore's exit to the NFL.
The Ducks ran the ball at...
PORTLAND STATE GAMEDAY: The Latest in Oregon Recruiting
No. 21 Oregon returns to Eugene this week for a Friday night home game against the Portland State Vikings. Head coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks always try to take full advantage of every opportunity with recruits and that remains the case this weekend.
It's a pretty small group of visitors, but arguably Oregon's top quarterback target in the 2028 class Josiah Boyd, will return to Eugene for an important visit after placing the Ducks in his top three this week along with UCLA and Kentucky earlier this week.
In addition to Boyd the Ducks will host 2028 4...
Final Thoughts Ahead of No. 21 Oregon vs. Portland State
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins are back for their weekly preview podcast! No. 21 Oregon returns home to Eugene for what should be a tuneup game against FCS Portland State.
The Ducks are 6-0 against the Vikings all-time and won the last matchup 81-7 back in 2023. The Ducks have a lot of questions to answer and it won't be possible to do it all in one week. What's important is that they start to find some at home before hitting the road to begin Big Ten play against USC next weekend.
More than anything...
State of the Oregon Program with Reid Tingley of the Quacked out Podcast
ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres is joined by Reid Tingley of the Quacked Out Podcast to take an updated look at the State of the Oregon Program heading into a Week 3 matchup against Portland State.
There are a LOT of questions facing this Oregon team but none is bigger than this: how will Oregon respond and move forward after the Oklahoma State loss? The Ducks are looking abysmal at the line of scrimmage and it's created a ton of problems on both sides of the ball.
The Oregon defense registered just one tackle for loss and...
Oregon's 2026 Season at an Inflection Point Following Oklahoma State Loss
ScoopDuck's Max Torres and Nate Bishop weight in on where Oregon goes from here following a shocking road loss to Oklahoma State in Week 2.
Just two games into the season, the disaster that was the Oklahoma State game has Oregon fans and media alike reevaluating expectations for the Ducks in 2026. This team looks nothing like it did in 2025, despite returning a huge swath of players, none more important than quarterback Dante Moore.
Oregon gets a softball tuneup game against Portland State at home this week, but no result will inspire any sort of confidence against...
REACTION: Oregon STUNNED by Oklahoma State in 39-31 Upset
Oregon is reeling after falling 39-31 to Oklahoma State in Week 2. The Ducks have been great on the road under Lanning, but Saturday's loss was the worst of his coaching career in Eugene.
ScoopDuck's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins give their reaction to the shocking upset and try to make sense of everything that went wrong in Stillwater.
Dante Moore hardly resembled a top draft pick, the Oregon defense was gashed, and Drew Mestemaker was the better quarterback. Oregon's offensive line struggled to get leverage and was dominated the point of attack as the Ducks...

Final Thoughts Heading Into No. 6 Oregon vs. Oklahoma State
ScoopDuck's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins return to give their final thoughts ahead of Oregon's Week 2 matchup against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater.
Dan Lanning is on the cusp of his 50th career win at Oregon this weekend, which would tie him for the fourth-most in program history. Dante Moore looks for another strong outing after a career day against Boise State. Will the defense dominate and force some takeaways?
Oklahoma State lost their starting left tackle for the season to injury, which could mean quarterback Drew Mestemaker is in for a long day...
PREVIEW AND PREDICTION: No. 6 Oregon vs. Oklahoma State
Week 2 of the College Football Season is here! No. 6 Oregon moves on from a 34-27 win over Boise State with a road trip to Stillwater to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

ScoopDuck's Max Torres sits down with former Duck George Wrighster of the Unafraid Show to talk some Duck Football as Oregon prepares to hit the road for the first time in 2026.
It feels like some have floated back down to Earth after some big overreactions from Oregon's close win over Boise State, but there's still a natural doubt that seems to follow the Ducks. It's going to be a hot one in Stillwater, and a new-look Cowboys squad could present some unique tests for Oregon.
The Ducks will face one of the best quarterbacks in...

ScoopDuck's Max Torres and Nate Bishop give their final thoughts on Oregon's Week 1 win over Boise State. Are fans overreacting? Where should we draw the line between high expectations and patience?
Oregon's offense rattled off nearly 500 yards against Boise State with a new offensive line and their defense was stout against the run. But mental mistakes and lapses in discipline helped the Broncos stay right there.
Now Dan Lanning and the No. 6 Ducks turn their attention to Oklahoma State this weekend as they prepare to hit the road for the first time this season. Will...
REACTION: Oregon Escapes Boise State's Upset Bid With 34-27 WIN
Oregon kicked off the 2026 college football season with a close 34-27 victory over Boise State at home in Eugene. The Ducks got all they could handle from the Broncos, who also played them close back in the 2024 non-conference slate.
Dante Moore had a career day with more than 350 yards passing and three touchdowns, while the Oregon pass rush helped slam the door shut on any remaining chance Boise State had of knocking off the Ducks.
Oregon's win wasn't dominant, but they were tested by a good team to start the year. Now Dan Lanning and...
