Oregon Ducks 2025 Fall Camp Review

As Oregon wraps up the fall camp portion of the season and shifts into game-week preparations on Sunday, the Ducks enter 2025 with perhaps their deepest roster under Dan Lanning. Across three weeks, two scrimmages, and countless reps, this team emerged sharper, more versatile, and more competitive than at any point in his tenure.

From a settled quarterback room to reshuffled position battles, Lanning and his staff leave camp with fewer unanswered questions — but plenty of key storylines to watch as the season begins.

RECRUITING NOTES:

-          I know that Tom Loy mentioned Oregon is ‘still in contact’ with Ryder Lyons and he could potentially visit this fall, but I am going to say that everything I have heard matches what Steve Wiltfong said following that report by Loy – the Ducks love what they have with Bryson Beaver and are not going to get back into the Lyons sweepstakes.

Generally speaking, there are components of the package BYU offered that simply will not be offered by Oregon. I think when Lyons comes back from his mission, there will certainly be some thoughts on the topic, but as of right now the guys being recruited for 2027 class at QB do not include Lyons.

Oregon is not going to go too heavily into trying to flip too many people. They still want to add on OL, DL, and WR to the class and are looking at a few candidates there, but I would not expect a ton of flips on either side of the ball at this point. Things can change, but that is the way it looks heading into the first game week preparation.

DSC Inside Read: A 3-2-1 Primer for 2025

Setting the Stage

Dan Lanning enters Year 4 in Eugene with his deepest, most complete roster yet — and perhaps his biggest challenge. After three weeks of fall camp, two scrimmages, and endless reps, Oregon emerges sharper, faster, and more competitive than at any point in his tenure. But the Ducks’ path to the College Football Playoff won’t be simple.

Oregon opens with Montana State and Oklahoma State, and Oregon State before the Big Ten gauntlet begins with a tricky early trip to Northwestern. From there: at Penn State, Indiana, at Rutgers, Wisconsin, at Iowa, Minnesota, USC, and at Washington.

The Ducks’ roster can contend with anyone in the country, but success in 2025 hinges on how quickly this group settles into roles — and whether they can survive an unforgiving Big Ten slate. Here’s what we learned from fall camp, what we still don’t know, and where this season is headed.

Taking Nothing For Granted 

Some moments stop you. They strip away the noise, the routines, the deadlines — everything we convince ourselves matters most — and leave you face to face with what actually does.

DSC Inside Read: 3-2-1 Look at the win over Montana State

Three Observations

1. Dante Moore Looks Ready for the Stage

2. Run Defense Shows Needed Growth

3. Preparation and Execution Set a New Tone

Two Questions

1. How Predictive Is This Blowout?

2. Can Oregon’s Secondary Handle More Sophisticated Passing Attacks?

One Prediction

If Oregon replicates Saturday’s discipline (3 penalties), balance (253 passing, 253 rushing), and defensive control (1.7 YPC allowed), the Ducks will beat Oklahoma State comfortably — especially with the Cowboys starting backup quarterback Zane Flores.

But don’t expect the same kind of physical mismatch we saw against Montana State. This game will reveal more about Oregon’s ceiling than the opener did, particularly along the defensive front and in the secondary.

Three Observations

1. Oregon’s identity travels.

2. The defense has turned a corner.

3. Dante Moore is Oregon’s closer.

Two Questions

1. Can Oregon clean up special teams before it costs them a game?

2. Will the tackles catch up to the interior?

One Bold Prediction

Oregon will be favored in every remaining regular-season game—and win the Pac-12/Big Ten crossover because of its defense, not its offense.

DSC Inside Read: 3-2-1 Look at Oregon’s Win Over Penn State

Oregon didn’t just survive the White Out; it solved it. From the opening possession, the Ducks set out to sterilize the noise—snap counts shortened, play calls clustered, ball security prioritized, and the chains nudged forward with a run-first, short-throw blueprint that kept 110,000 throats mostly ornamental. For three quarters, that discipline, paired with a suffocating, eyes-right defense, reduced Penn State’s offense to guesses and punts.

Then came the jolt: a 14-point fourth quarter from the Nittany Lions that turned a slow-burn strangle into a two-overtime thriller. Oregon answered with poise—the kind that only shows up when your conditioning, situational rules, and internal clock all agree—and walked out with a statement road win built on identity. Below is the how and why, told through the rhythm of the game and anchored by the numbers and PFF context you asked for.
