  1. Oregon Blanks Texas Tech 23-0 in the Orange Bowl

    Oregon Blanks Texas Tech 23-0 in the Orange Bowl

    ScoopDuckOn3 Oregon Football and Recruiting reporter Max Torres breaks down No. 5 Oregon's 23-0 win over No. 4 Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl. The Ducks, fueled by their defense, dominated from start to finish. Oregon forced four turnovers, their most in a game since 2023, which coincidentally was the last time they faced and defeated Texas Tech. Freshman phenom Brandon Finney Jr. was the star of the day on defense, grabbing two interceptions and recovering a fumble as Texas Tech's offensive struggles continued all day. Offensively, Oregon had a hot and cold performance. The Ducks couldn't get much going on the ground, rushing for just 64 yards. But they were able to move the ball through the air despite a vicious pass rush from David Bailey and Texas Tech. Dante Moore threw one interception and Oregon was able to play ball control en route to their 13th win of the season. Oregon's postseason run continues and we're talking all about it!

    Oregon Draws No. 5 Seed in CFP, Matchup With No. 12 James Madison

    The College Football Playoff final rankings have been released. Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks earned the No. 5 seed and they'll face the No. 12 James Madison Dukes at home in Eugene for a first-round matchup. Oregon finished the regular season with an 11-1 record and just signed the No. 3 recruiting class in the country for the 2026 class. There's a bit of coach movement on the staff with Tosh Lupoi and Will Stein being hired as the new head coaches at Cal and Kentucky respectively. Even so, the Ducks opened as major betting favorites against JMU, with a line as high as 21.5 points on BetMGM. Oregon is looking to take its next step as a program, which after winning the Big Ten and drawing the No. 1 overall seed last season, would be winning a playoff game in 2025. ScoopDuckOn3's Max Torres and Justin Hopkins react to the rankings and give their early thoughts on Oregon's next matchup against James Madison.
