Unbeaten Liberty and Flames coach Jamey Chadwell hoped to face an Oregon team without Bo Nix in the Fiesta Bowl, but the Heisman finalist will play one more game with the Ducks. The decorated fifth-year senior will add to his school record-setting offensive totals in the Fiesta Bowl. "We know how good they are," Chadwell said this week. "Disappointed Bo Nix is going to play, I was hoping he was going to hold out and wasn’t going to play any against us. I have a relationship with Bo’s father going back from a FCA football camp, we actually coached at the same place together. Bo is a tremendous player, we are looking forward to going against what could be a Heisman winner.” Liberty earned the Group of Five's auto-berth in the New Year's Six after upending New Mexico State over the weekend, just before SMU toppled Tulane in the AAC title game. That was enough to push the Flames ahead of SMU and Tulane in the selection committee's final top 25. And now, Chadwell gets a chance to show his team off to the rest of the country on the grandest of stages. Here's what Chadwell said about playing Oregon, his team and the opportunity ahead: Liberty's Jamey Chadwell hoped Oregon's Bo Nix would skip Fiesta Bowl T.CO The Group of Five champions are heavy underdogs against the Pac-12's runner-up.

We are in the part of the season where rosters are in flux as players either choose to jump into the transfer portal or make decisions about whether or not they want to return for one more year of school instead of testing the NFL Draft waters. That is certainly the case for the Oregon Ducks, where a number of highly impactful starters have some important decision to make. Some guys, like Bo Nix, Evan Williams, Popo Aumavae, and several other have run out of college eligibility, but others can choose whether or not they want to join Dan Lanning in the Big Ten or head to the next level. Over the next month and a half, we will get a lot more clarity on this front. The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is on January 15, 2024, so we will know more about players like Brandon Dorlus, Troy Franklin, and Khyree Jackson before then. Until then, we can make some predictions and guesses as to what the future might hold for those players. Predicting which Oregon Ducks will declare for 2024 NFL Draft DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM A look at which members of the Oregon Ducks might declare for the 2024 NFL Draft or choose to return to Eugene for another season.

5-star OT Jordan Seaton announces commitment date with Ducks among top choices It was announced on Monday afternoon that 5-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton has set his commitment date for December 7th, when he will choose his final destination between Oregon, Florida, Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, and Maryland. Seaton is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 15 overall player in the 2024 class, and the No. 1 OT in the nation. He would be a massive addition for the Ducks, who already have a commitment from 4-star OT JacQaen McRoy, the No. 6 OT and No. 78 overall player in the 2024 class. Standing at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds, Seaton would be a big-time body on the offensive front, slotting in at either right tackle or left tackle. We’ve seen what OL coach A’lique Terry has been able to do so far in his one season with the Ducks, and expectations are high for him to continue that success going forward. With the addition of Seaton, Oregon’s current No. 7-ranked recruiting class would jump up to the No. 4 spot in the nation, passing both Alabama and Miami. Oregon Recruiting: 5-star OT Jordan Seaton announces commitment date DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks are among the finalists for 5-star OT Jordan Seaton, who will announce his commitment this week.

Go Ducks, Fly High!!

Washington is pretty much at full strength. DeBoer has been in similar situations before, playing the same team more than once. This is one heck of a good coach. This team is most likely feeling disrespected at this moment as well. This will be a dangerous team going into the championship game. For Oregon “He’s out there and getting better,” Lanning said when asked about Bryant. “I think we’ll be in good shape to have him this weekend.” When it comes to Florence, and fellow cornerback Rodrick Pleasant, Lanning was a little bit less clear. “I’m expecting us to have some of those guys back,” Lanning said. “We’ll have to wait and see as the week progresses. That’s kind of the way it goes at this point of the season.” Would be great to be back at full strength, but we could be missing some players. I still feel Oregon is a different team then when they played Washington the first time. They're much improved.and on a mission! DeBoer thinks he understands Lanning's and Stein's weaknesses. This is where Lanning and Stein could get the upper hand on DeBoer. Their growth will surprise him. Go Ducks, Fly High!! Kalen DeBoer breaks down Washington health report ahead of Pac-12 Championship As Washington heads into the Pac-12 Championship Game against Oregon on Saturday, it does so much healthier than it has been in a while. Even a brief injury scare for EDGE Zion Tupuola-Fetui last week proved to be minor, and the talented edge defender is expected to play this weekend against the Ducks. “I’d expect him to be, yeah,” coach Kalen DeBoer said. “I think relative to where we were at maybe middle of the season, I think we’re healthier. So guys, different guys have been out throughout.” But many of those Washington players have returned to action or will shortly. DeBoer explained exactly where his team is getting healthier right now going into a pivotal Pac-12 Championship Game with playoff hopes on the line. “The receiving corps’ slowly come back into being intact,” DeBoer said. “Offensive line is kind of back to where it was early in the year with (Julius) Buelow being back. Defensively some of those pieces slowly returning. So I think we’re getting in a good spot when it comes to the health of the team.” Taking them on twice One thing that will be interesting about Saturday’s matchup is that it’s a rematch of the regular season meeting between the teams. Washington won that contest 36-33. DeBoer knows that first game means there will be an added level of familiarity both ways. “You learn from the game before,” DeBoer said. “You know they’re going to make adjustments. But, it’s not like there’s any secrets. You know who their personnel are. They know who ours are. You quickly talk through again the details of what they do, how they do it, who they are and you get the plan moving.” It won’t be the first time as a coach DeBoer has faced a team for the second time in the same season, though the challenge Washington will face against Oregon may be steeper than others. “Many times at Sioux Falls, two of the top teams in the country were us and Morningside College,” Kalen DeBoer recalled from his past coaching experience. “We played a regular season game, usually for the conference championship, and then we played usually the second round of the playoffs. “When I was at Fresno State, we played [Boise State] back-to-back weeks. We played them the last game of the regular season. Then, had to turn around and play them in the conference championship. We played them four times in two years. So, I’ve done that a few times.”
