    Oregon Football: Ohio State Potentially the National "Game of the Year"

     

    The Oregon Ducks enter the 2024 season as a newcomer to the Big Ten Conference. While this may be new territory for Oregon, they are already tabbed as a team that will compete for the Big Ten Championship and a berth in the expanded playoffs. To get there they will need to get past some of the best teams in all of college football—enter Ohio State. The Ducks host the Buckeyes on October 12, a game that sports columnist Paul Finebaum believes is one of the biggest of the year.

    There’s a big difference between being built for “right now” and being built for the future.  Both have their benefits, but one without the other can leave fans wanting.

     

    For instance, the Washington Huskies were a great example of being built for “right now: in 2023.  The Oregon Ducks are a good example of a team that is built for right now, and for the future.

    Oregon Football quarterbacks do not NEED another player in the room

     

    Oregon has one of the deepest QB rooms in the country with Oklahoma transfer QB Dillon Gabriel and Dante Moore, Austin Novosad, and Luke Moga waiting behind him. The Ducks have no need to add 4-star QB Ty Hawkins at this time.

     

    On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the big matchup with Ohio State on October 12th. Whoever wins this game will have to work harder to do so than Oregon did back in 2021. 9:40

     

    Oregon Basketball has added a bevy of transfers as they head into the Big 10, most recently F/C Supreme Cook from Georgetown. They will need to be led by true sophomores Jackson Shelstad and KJ Evans if they're going to have the season they're capable of--both are poised for year 2 leaps. 19:25

    Here's a recap of Dillon Gabriel's spring with the Ducks and how he fits with the team this fall.

     

    The first series earlier this summer Erik Skopil explored “Oregon’s spring freshmen early enrollees” and how that may frame their first season in Eugene.

     

    With the addition of the transfer portal, which brought 10 additional new players to the team in the spring, Erik Skopil decided to continue a second series for the new portal additions also.

     

    We begin the transfer rewind series with quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

    Oregon sees three players land on Phil Steele's All-American teams.

     

    Steele's magazines provide a good overhead perspective of college football, while providing enough depth and understanding to complete four All-American teams.

     

    Oregon has three players on the list, two on the first-team offense and one on the third-team offense. Not a single Oregon defensive player has been selected for All-American status.

    Oregon Football vs Ohio St/Michigan. Which game is harder to win?

     

    Oregon will play the two biggest brands in the Big 10 this year, hosting Ohio State on October 12th and traveling to Michigan on November 2nd. Which game will be tougher to win?

     

    On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Erik Skopil of 247Sports and the 'Autzen Audibles' podcast. What should Oregon fans expect from the wide receiver room this year with Evan Stewart in the mix with a bevy of returners? 17:00

     

    Regardless of the numbers, Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel will have PLENTY of weapons to throw the ball to. Plus, Erik shares his thoughts on Men's Basketball adding Georgetown transfer Supreme Cook after N'Faly Dante's waiver was denied by the NCAA. 28:00

    The Oregon Ducks have been busy over the past few weeks, hosting long lists of blue-chip recruits on both official and unofficial visits in the month of June.

    Back in February, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning hinted at what’s to come.

     

    “We gotta go play games and see how we play as a team, but we have a lot of talent on this roster,” Lanning said on the Ducks’ National Signing Day show.  “It is the most talented roster I’ve had since we’ve been here.”

     

    Lanning talks about the splash plays often.  Takeaways and chuck plays win ball games.  Oregon can hit home runs all day long with its offense.  Can it do the same with its defense?  Does it have enough beyond the initial stating 11 to impact the game by generating havoc plays?

     

    Verdict: Contender

    Can Oregon contend for a national championship in Year 3 under Dan Lanning?

    Oregon extends offer to surging 5-star center

    Oregon extended an offer to an elite prospect out of the midwest.

     

    Dana Altman and the Oregon men’s basketball program are looking for additional post players for their roster beyond the 2024-25 season, and they recently offered a rising star big man from Missouri.

     

    After Altman and his coaching staff evaluated 4-star Chris Cenac during the NBA Top 1oo Camp, Oregon offered a scholarship.  Cenac announced the scholarship offer this week on social media.

     

    During the NBA Top 100 Camp, Eenac turned heads and 247Sports was on hand for the evaluation.  Here is a recent scouting report on the most recent offer of an Oregon prospect

    Oregon Football's defense NEEDS these 2 breakout candidates in 2024

     

    Oregon is poised to have another outstanding defense as they did a season ago. There are headline players who have to perform, but DB Solomon Davis and EDGE Emar'rion Winston will play key roles as well. They are breakout candidates in 2024 for Dan Lanning and his staff.
