    State of the Oregon Program: Northwestern on Deck | Spencer McLaughlin Joins

    ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres sits down with special guest Spencer McLaughlin, host of the LockedOn Ducks Podcast to weigh in on the state of the Oregon Ducks Football program as they prepare to host the No. 20 Northwestern Wildcats. Oregon is looking to win Saturday no matter what it takes, and Duck fans are hoping the offense starts to turn around, even if just minimally, after the firing of Drew Mehringer. What kind of answers can Jay Johnson come up with amid shaky quarterback play? The offensive line has improved in the last two games, specifically against the run, and the Ducks will get a trio of their top wide receivers back for this one. PLUS Oregon's defense faces perhaps its biggest challenge yet against Northwestern's explosive run game and diverse offense behind Chip Kelly. Dan Lanning finds himself in unfamiliar territory with the season basically over before November. Oregon has won at least 10 games every year since he's been head coach, but now he has to prevent his team from falling apart with the Ducks now fighting just to make a bowl game.

    Oregon Football's Culture is Being Put to the Test

    ScoopDuck's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins sit down to give their thoughts on Oregon's Week 9 matchup against the No. 20 Northwestern Wildcats Saturday afternoon in Eugene. Oregon is looking to avoid losing consecutive games for the first time under Dan Lanning, but Northwestern won't make it easy, as former Ducks head coach and current offensive coordinator Chip Kelly returns to Eugene with one of the best rushing attacks and versatile offenses in college football. The Ducks' defense will be put to the test and has another tough challenge to meet. Saturday will also be the first game for Oregon with assistant quarterbacks coach Jay Johnson serving as the interim play-caller following Drew Merhinger's firing. Above all else, the Ducks culture is being put to the test with the team's biggest goals now off the table after dropping their third game of the season and quarterback Dante Moore being ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season. This week is just the third time Oregon and Northwestern have met, and the Ducks will take a win any way they can get it. The Ducks Dish Podcast is available everywhere you get your podcasts!

    Previewing and Predicting Oregon vs. No. 20 Northwestern | Zach Koons Joins

    ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres sits down with Zach Koons, host of the BLeav in Northwestern Podcast to preview this weekend's game between the Oregon Ducks and the No. 20 Northwestern Wildcats. This is just the third time teams have met, with the Ducks taking home a 34-14 win over Northwestern on the road in Evanston last year. Now Oregon's season has completely unraveled, they've lost starting quarterback Dante Moore for the year, and Northwestern is one of the best stories in college football, with an explosive offensive led by former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly. The Ducks' defense will be put to the test against one of the brightest offensive minds in the sport with a rushing attack averaging more than 200 yards per game on the ground. Northwestern is far from elite on defense, but the Ducks have been a complete mess on offense lately and hope to get things heading in the right direction after parting ways with offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer. What's left for this Oregon team to play for? Pride, development and NFL draft stock are a few things that come to mind. The Ducks hope to defend Autzen Stadium, where they've been great under Dan Lanning up until this season. The Ducks Dish Podcast is available everywhere you get your podcasts!

    Dante Moore DONE in 2026 | Drew Mehringer OUT as Oregon OC

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins react to the news of Oregon firing offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer and quarterback Dante Moore not returning in 2026. After dropping their third game of the season, Dan Lanning finally made the call to part ways with Drew Mehringer. He promoted him from within after Will Stein took the Kentucky job, and it was a decision that ultimately came back to bite him. Assistant quarterbacks coach Jay Johnson will take over play-calling duties. Dante Moore will not play another snap for Oregon in 2026, Dan Lanning announced Monday night. Oregon will move forward with Dylan Raiola and Brock Thomas in the next five games. Maybe Akili Smith Jr. will get a shot. The season is a wash, so there's no better time than now. Tons to get into as the season unravels and we start to look ahead to 2027. The Ducks Dish Podcast is available everywhere you get your podcasts!

    REACTION: Drew Mehringer OUT as Oregon Offensive Coordinator

    On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and recruiting reporter Max Torres reacts to the news of Oregon Football parting ways with offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer after this weekend's 21-10 loss to Illinois. Dan Lanning made the call that fans had been pleading for for weeks. And now Oregon is in the market for a new offensive coordinator with five games left in the 2026 season. The timing of the move helps the Ducks get a head start on creating their new offensive identity for the 2027 season and will surely help them get pieces in place in both this next recruiting class that will sign in December and the upcoming transfer portal window. Oregon hasn't lost three games before November since 2018 when Mario Cristobal was head coach and now the Ducks enter unfamiliar territory as they juggle salvaging what's left of the 2026 season and planning for the future of the program.

    Previewing and Predicting Oregon vs. Illinois in Champaign

    ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins sit down to preview Oregon Football's Week 8 game on the road against the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Ducks are coming off of two straight weeks of low-scoring contest after narrowly escaping Nebraska at home in a 17-14 win. Dan Lanning sat Dylan Raiola for three quarters but he was ready for his moment when the Ducks finally called his number and he willed them to a win against his former team. Oregon's offense will be without Dante Moore and wide receiver Evan Stewart once again, as anticipation builds around whether or not Moore will return to the field for the Ducks in 2026. Oregon's defense has been playing lights out lately and they'll face a true freshman making his first college start in Illinois' Michael Clayton II. Every game means something and just like last week, the Ducks can't afford to take a third loss, as it would mean the end of their college football playoff hopes this season.

    Oregon Heads to Champaign for Clash With Illinois | Drew Pastorek Joins

    ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting Reporter Max Torres is joined by Drew Pastorek of the Oskee Talk Podcast and Champaign Room on SB Nation. Max and Drew discuss this weekend's Big Ten matchup between the Oregon Ducks and the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Ducks and Illini last met in 2024, a game Oregon won 38-9 in Eugene. Oregon leads the all-time series 3-1 and continues to look for answers on offense after struggling to move the ball in consecutive games against UCLA and Nebraska. Fortunately for the Ducks, their defense has been playing lights out and trending up heading into this week's road trip. Matayo Uiagalelei, Teiutum Tuioti and Nasir Wyatt have all been dominant on the EDGE for the Ducks. A'Mauri Washington and Bear Alexander have been thriving as well. Max and Drew get into some of the top storylines and players to watch heading into Saturday's game and give viewers a great look at both Oregon and Illinois.
