DSC Inside Read: 3-2-1 look back at Indiana and ahead to RutgersFor the first time this season, Oregon didn’t look like the better team. Indiana came into Autzen and exposed the Ducks’ weaknesses — protection issues, inconsistent execution, and an inability to finish drives — handing Oregon a 30-20 loss that felt as frustrating as it was revealing. The defeat snapped Oregon’s home winning streak and raised real questions about how quickly this team can correct its mistakes with another Big Ten matchup waiting on the road. Now the Ducks turn their attention to Rutgers, a 3-3 team that scores over 35 points a game and moves the ball through the air better than anyone Oregon has faced outside of Penn State. The Scarlet Knights aren’t elite on paper, but they’re disciplined, balanced, and comfortable in long drives — the exact kind of opponent that punishes mental lapses. For Oregon, Saturday in Piscataway is less about talent and more about response.

Ducks on a collision course along a very tough road in B1G, CFPDan Lanning and his players performed so well to start this season that Oregon fans forgot this was a young team in a rebuilding/reloading year, a team that had sent 13 guys to the NFL.Expectations ratcheted up quickly after five decisive wins and the double overtime gut check at Penn State. It became easy to forget that this team needed to grow, that it had question marks. A great Indiana team laid those flaws bare. The offensive line, quarterback and young running backs have to learn as a group how to recognize and respond to pressure and simulated pressure.

One thing we have already seen take place following Franklin's firing is a string of decommitments for Penn State's 2027 class.

The betting odds reflect this as Oregon is currently favored by minus-15 1/2 points and has its moneyline odds set at minus-670 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The point total for the game is set at a whopping 58 1/2, with bettors likely expecting a high scoring output from the Ducks. Oregon was covering the spread easily earlier in the season, but have had some closer calls than expected lately. They will look to get back to their dominant winning ways this week against Rutgers and fight for another trip to the playoffs. Oregon Ducks open as two-score favorites over Rutgers Scarlet Knights

2025 Football Poll Rankings (2)
There is a well-known saying, “nobody is perfect,” and sadly that even applies to the Oregon Ducks. They lost their first game of the season to the Indiana Hoosiers, which ended their bid for another perfect regular season. It seemed possible after a win over the Penn State Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium, the No. 2 team in the nation at that point, but that opportunity is gone now. Both the Ducks’ offense and defense played solid at certain points of the game against the Hoosiers, but ultimately, they didn’t do nearly enough to win. There was nothing extremely alarming that will plague the team for the remainder of the season. It was just a lackluster game coming out of the bye week for a young team, who we hope will learn from their mistakes.

ESPN GameDay Crew Makes Their Prediction Picks....
It may be pitch black outside when the cameras start rolling, but there is a reason that ESPN's "College GameDay" keeps coming back to Eugene, Oregon, year after year. The crowd brings the electricity, and it is routinely among the best environments in all of college football. "GameDay" made its 13th appearance on Oregon's campus on Saturday morning ahead of the top-10 showdown between the No. 2 Oregon Ducks and No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers. This elite matchup will give one team an inside track to the Big Ten Championship Game and the College Football Playoff. Both teams have impressive wins over ranked teams like the Illinois Fighting Illini and Penn State Nittany Lions. However, we are still looking for another "prove-it" opportunity for the Ducks and the Hoosiers before crowning them true national championship favorites. While the game is going to be electric later today, the crowd brought the energy early on, with signs and chants that reverberated through the TV. Here's a look at the top signs and moments from Saturday morning: That Eugene 'GameDay' Crowd Top Oregon Ducks signs and moments from ESPN's 'College GameDay'

Pat McAfee Slanders the Oregon Defense with an Incomplete Truth
On ESPN College Football Game Day from the Memorial Quad in Eugene, Pat McAfee proved again you can use statistics to misrepresent anything. McAfee told the live crowd and the national TV audience, "This Oregon defense has DUDES everywhere. Their numbers are excellent everywhere except for in the Red Zone. For some reason they haven't been able to keep people out of the endzone." What he said was superficially correct, but misleading. He left out the most telling, informative part. The Oregon defense has allowed opponents to REACH the Red Zone just six times, the second fewest Red Zone attempts allowed in the country. What's more, three of those came late in games against the third team defense. The Ducks rank sixth in the country in scoring defense at 12.2 points per game, 11th in yards per play at 4.16. They've been tough in every part of the field.
