Oklahoma State's HC Mike Gundy: Talkin Out of Both Sides of His Mouth
Mike Gundy: ‘I was being very complimentary of Oregon and their commitment’Mike Gundy says he was being “very complimentary of Oregon” when he spoke about its level of spending on football ahead of Saturday’s Power Four matchup. The Oklahoma State coach, who repeatedly mentioned Oregon spending “a lot of money” on its football program during his radio show on Monday, clarified his remarks during an interview with Rick Neuheisel on SiriusXM on Thursday. “The truth of the matter Rick is I was being very complimentary of Oregon and their commitment,” Gundy said. “The other things that had been said that day were that they’ve made a commitment to facilities, as we know. They’ve made a huge commitment to their staff. They’ve made a huge commitment to their surrounding staff and then they’ve made a huge NIL commitment.” oregonliveGundy: ‘I was being very complimentary of Oregon and thei...The Oklahoma State coach, who repeatedly mentioned Oregon spending “a lot of money” on its football program during his radio show on Monday, clarified his remarks on SiriusXM on Thursday.

Oregon - Oklahoma State Pre-Game Reports, Interviews, Etc. (2)
Injuries were a big subject last season despite the Oregon Ducks' team success and they are hoping to keep those to a minimum here in 2025. Oregon will need to do just that if it wants to repeat as Big Ten champions and after their Week 1 win over Montana State, so far, so good. You never want to have major injury news, especially against a team such as FCS Montana State, where the win is nearly inevitable. The Ducks didn't exit the 59-13 win unscathed, however, but there's nothing that should hamper them against their Big 12 opponent this week. Here's a quick look at the names to be aware of going into Saturday's game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys: Oregon Ducks injury update for Week 2 game vs Oklahoma State

NCAA Move to Single Transfer Window Another Huge Edge for the Ducks
The rich get richer, always. With a deep, talented roster that's built to make the playoffs nearly every year, the NCAA's proposed move to a single, 10-day transfer window in January is tailor-made for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks. The proposal by the NCAA Football Oversight Committee still has to be formally adopted by the Administrative Committee, and then it has to survive the inevitable challenges in court. The change would go into effect on January 2, this season. If it does to come to pass and survives, it's ideal for Oregon in a couple of ways. The Ducks have been judicious, strategic and surgical in their use of the Transfer Portal, superb evaluators that have plucked players like Bo Nix, Dillon Gabriel, Tez Johnson, Bucky Irving, Jordan Burch, Derrick Harmon and Christian Gonzalez off the rosters of other teams. They've shopped judiciously while never losing a single starter to the portal in the three-plus years Dan Lanning has been head coach. Because the Ducks are so deep in talent, a single window allows them to know exactly who is leaving and what spots might need to be replaced, and the action starts late enough to not interfere with playoff and conference championship preparation.

Oregon - Oklahoma State Pre-Game Reports, Interviews, Etc.
After looking nearly flawless in their first game of the season last weekend, the Oregon Ducks will turn around again this Saturday and look to dominate another opponent inside Autzen Stadium. On the heels of a 59-13 victory over Montana State, the Ducks are once again four-score favorites, this time against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. While the betting line suggests that this may be a blowout, there are still players on the Pokes who warrant attention for Dan Lanning's team on Saturday. While Oklahoma State got a solid win against UT Martin, they suffered a tough loss with starting quarterback Hauss Hejny going down with a broken foot that required surgery. So, who will step up in his place, and what are some other names that Oregon fans should be aware of going into the weekend?

Oregon Ducks Practice Reports Updates, Etc. “2025” (7)
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.

Bit of a Chuckle: USC Safety Bishop Fitzgerald Made Some Enemies When Talking About the Ducks
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..

Dan Lanning Offers Explanation on why Makhi Hughes had Such a Limited Work Load
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.

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.
