  1. Transfer receivers add punch to Cowboy passing attack, a trail by fire for the DucksMontana State slot receiver Taco Dowler called the Ducks "the fastest team I've ever played," after losing 59-13 in Autzen Stadium, yet Dowler burned the Ducks for 12 receptions for 107 yards, a long of 24. "Fastest team I've ever played," Dowler said in the postgame. "It is different. There are levels to this. We came to compete, but they are ridiculously athletic. Fast or not, the Ducks have to tighten up their coverage scheme on those crossing routes, beginning with better recognition and tracking from the underneath defenders. Dowler gave them fits, even though the score was never in doubt. The Ducks led 31-0 before the Bobcats made a first down. In Week Two Oklahoma State represents a different challenge, though oddsmakers expect a similar result. The Ducks are a 28.5-point favorite at FanDuel. As a Power 4 team the Cowboys are bigger in the trenches and a diferent level of physical test, though they give up so much talent to Oregon that Mike Gundy began the week lobbying for schedule reform, insisting that Oregon ought to play teams on its own level financially.

  3. Bishop Fitzgerald, a transfer safety for the USC Trojans, may have made some of his team's own fans mad with these comments.It isn't often that a player for the USC Trojans makes a comment about Oregon and, in response, the Ducks smile. However, when this transfer safety for the Trojans was talking about the rest of his season and what he's looking forward to most, the ears of Oregon Ducks across the country perked up. Bishop Fitzgerald transferred to play for USC this offseason after starting his collegiate career at JUCO and then spending two years with the NC State Wolfpack. In his debut for the Trojans, he earned just four total tackles but did bring down an interception, which he returned for a touchdown. However, Fitzgerald is now in hot water with the USC fanbase after he was asked what he was looking forward to about being in the Big Ten. "Playing at OREGON," Fitzgerald said. "Every kid dreams of Oregon, their jerseys, the stadium, all of that." Did the Oregon Ducks offer Bishop Fitzgerald?Then, he transferred to play for the Trojans. You notice who never offered him? The Ducks. Yet, while playing for one of Oregon's biggest conference rivals, he had unending praise for the program that, apparently, even the Trojans dream about playing for. This year, the Trojans come to Eugene, and Fitzgerald will, luckily, get to have his dreams come true as he steps foot onto the field at Autzen Stadium, surrounded by GREEN and YELLOW.. Autzen ZooUSC safety Bishop Fitzgerald made some enemies when talki...Bishop Fitzgerald, a transfer safety for the USC Trojans, may have made some of his team's own fans mad with these comments.
  4. No. 6 Oregon (1-0, 0-0 Big Ten) is now three days away from a Week 2 contest against the Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-0, 0-0 Big 12) and head coach Dan Lanning met with reporters in Eugene for the final time before that game. Below are some of his top quotes and full video of his media availability. Dan Lanning Final Updates Ahead of No. 6 Oregon vs. Oklahoma State: "The standard's starting to set in"
  5. Lanning said to Mike Torres of On3 Sports and the rest of the media, "We got a lot of really good players. There were plays that he was in, called runs, and we had heavy boxes and the ball was thrown. He's in also in a two-minute scenario where the ball's probably gonna be thrown a little bit more." "But we got a lot of really talented players and it's gonna continue to be a challenge for us to figure out how do we use guys in the proper roles," Lanning said. There's been no indication of a disciplinary issue or an injury. Scott Reed of Duck Sports Central reported in his forum that the Hugh situation was "A bit of a combination of things. He is not 100% with the playbook yet and is a little behind Whittington in that regard given Whittington's tenure in Eugene." "The other reality is that this is a long season and keeping people fresh is important. We will start to get a clearer picture when we see the Ducks hit the road against Northwestern and Penn State." It's clear that the Ducks are being very targeted and strategic about playing time in these early games. The coaches know they have an exceptionally talented roster, with a large number of athletes practicing and performing "above the line," in a phrase Dan Lanning uses often. They also want to build a team that peaks in November, December and January. The goal in August and September is to manage the load and develop people while establishing a high standard. Like all aspects of this team, Makhi Hughes role is a work in progress.

  6. Wednesday War Room: Previewiing Oklahoma StateOklahoma State at Oregon: "We spend to win"There’s a rhythm to good teams: meetings feel shorter, corrections feel sharper, and the ball finds the right hands without any drama. That was Oregon in Week 1. The test now is whether that rhythm holds when tempo, vertical shots, and a first-time starting quarterback walk into Autzen. Dan Lanning’s message never strayed. “Double down on the process,” he told the team. He praised the quiet things as loudly as the highlights—“very few ball-in-jeopardy plays… [Dante] looked really poised,” and, maybe more importantly for this week, “we need to celebrate the plays that are avoided.” That’s the bar against an Oklahoma State defense that wants you to blink first.
