    Bye Week Check-In, What to Make of Oregon's 3-1 Start

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins sit down to do a bye week check-in around Oregon Football. The Ducks sit at 3-1 on the year and will face an undefeated UCLA team that looks dangerous under new head coach Bob Chesney. Oregon's offense certainly looks like it's capable of putting up tons of points, lead by great talent at wide receiver, running back and tight end. But what's the ceiling of the offensive line as they struggled out of the gate? They played their best game against USC, but we still don't know how they'll perform against the elite teams of college football. The Ducks made some strides defensively against USC, particularly holding the Trojans to 2 for 11 on third down. The defensive line looked more like the group we expected going into the year, specifically A'Mauri Washington, who is getting closer to full health. Will the safeties start to put things together in the offseason? All of that and much more on the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast.

    Upon Further Review: Oregon's Win Over USC | Zachary Neel Joins

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres sits down with Zachary Neel of DucksWire to take a deeper dive into Oregon Football's 41-27 win over the USC Trojans in Week 4. Oregon had a ton of questions that they needed to answer about their team heading into the matchup, and while not all of them were answered, we still learned a lot about what the Ducks can be in 2026. They should be fine at quarterback with or without Dante Moore, as Dylan Raiola rose to the occasion and looked every bit the 5-star recruit he was coming out of high school. Oregon's offensive line had its best game of the season and the Ducks got big-time contributions from their star playmakers on offense. The defense, while not without its own concerns, also stepped up to get off the field after forcing big stops and getting more consistent pressure on quarterback Jayden Maiava. How Oregon can build off of this win and more entering the bye in this episode! The Ducks Dish Podcast is available everywhere you get your podcasts!

    Crossover! Ducks Dish x BLeav in USC Ahead of No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres joins the BLeav in USC Podcast to preview No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC in Los Angeles in Week 4. This has all the makings of a game of the week as Dan Lanning and the Ducks collide with Lincoln Riley and the Trojans. Oregon has momentum on their side in this rivalry, but this is the shakiest the Ducks have looked since Lanning got waxed by Georgia in his debut as a head coach. The talent is there for Oregon, it's about the coaches getting the best out of the players. Dante Moore didn't look like himself in the Week 2 loss to Stillwater and facing Portland State wasn't a good litmus test. He'll face a talented defensive front but the Trojans are missing some players due to injury. If Oregon's offense can maintain drives, get points on the board and take care of the ball against USC, the Ducks have a real shot at winning. USC and Jayden Maiava won't make it easy, and this game presents a huge hump for Riley to get over as head coach. People are asking: if he can't beat this Oregon team, when will he be able to beat the Ducks? The Ducks Dish Podcast is available everywhere you get your podcasts!

    What's on the Line in No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins share their final thoughts ahead of Oregon and USC colliding in the Coliseum this weekend. Oregon has a ton of questions to answer since their loss to Oklahoma State in Week 2 and none of those were answered against FCS Portland State last week. Will Dante Moore look like the top draft pick he's been made out to be? Will the Ducks' offensive line be able to keep him upright and open lanes for the running backs? Is Oregon going to be good on the road in Big Ten play like they have been? The Ducks are in a must-win game because a second loss eliminates all of their margin for error moving forward in 2026. A loss means they have to be perfect the rest of the way to make the playoff. A win gives them more breathing room and keeps all their goals in front of them. As for USC, their fans want to see that Lincoln Riley can get over the Oregon hump and beat a team that's had their number in each of the last four matchups.

    BATTLE FOR THE WEST: Previewing and Predicting No. 20 Oregon vs. No. 12 USC With Chris Treviño

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres sits down with senior USC writer Chris Treviño of WeAreSC.com, part of the On3 network, to preview and predict this weekends game between No. 20 Oregon and No. 12 USC. The Ducks head South having won four straight against the Trojans, who look to get perhaps their most significant win in year five of the Lincoln Riley era. USC is loaded on offense and led by senior Jayden Maiava, while Oregon's defense looks to prove that they can be one of the elite in college football after some disappointing performances to start the year. USC has struggled to field quality defenses under Riley, but an injection of new talent from recent recruiting classes and the transfer portal should make this one interesting. The Ducks have one of the best quarterbacks in college football in Dante Moore, but he didn't look like himself when Oregon struggle against Oklahoma State. So which version of Moore will show up Saturday? Week 1 against Boise State or Week 2 against Oklahoma State? There's so much on the line for both teams, especially Oregon this season, as a loss would put their college football playoff hopes in serious jeopardy just one month into the year.

    The Biggest Oregon vs. USC Game in Decades? | Doug Scott Joins

    No. 20 Oregon hits the road to face No. 12 USC in a huge Big Ten opener with major implications for the rest of the 2026 season. ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres is joined by Doug Scott of the QB11 show to talk Ducks vs. Trojans and where both programs are at in year five under Dan Lanning and Lincoln Riley respectively. Oregon's season feels like it's on the line after losing to Oklahoma State on the road in Week 2. A loss to USC would eliminate all margin for error moving forward, and essentially require Oregon to run the table to make the College Football Playoff. USC enters the game at a perfect 4-0 but hasn't played any team on Oregon's level. The Trojans escaped New Jersey with a close 42-35 win over Rutgers. Will they have issues on the road again in 2026? USC hasn't beat Oregon since 2016. Oregon has won four straight games against USC as well as six of the last seven and eight of the last ten. Oregon's culture will be put to the test and a lot of questions surrounding if this 2026 Ducks team is the real deal will be answered in Los Angeles.
