NICE: Oregon's Dan Lanning Gets BIG Praise from National College Football Pundit on Ducks' Future Jul 15, 2026

Show notes

Josh Pate recently stated he believes Oregon is a top 3 program in the country in the next 5 years with Dan Lanning at the helm. That's a reasonable take, but one part of it is off the mark.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the need for Oregon to get their sack numbers up from a season ago. This year's D-Line unit is generating high expectations up front.

Oregon's WR room is as stacked as it ever has been, with one big name likely to underperform statistically relative to what he's capable of. Will Jeremiah McClellan's chemistry with Dante Moore from 2025 lead to a breakout 2026 season?

UNDERRATED? Dan Lanning RANKED by ESPN as Top 5 Coach in America, Why That's RIGHT for Ducks' HC Jul 10, 2026

Show notes

The writing team at ESPN ranked their 10 best coaches in college football, with Dan Lanning coming in at #5--trailing only coaches who have played in or won a national title. Why did one writer put him at 8th?

Today's episode of Locked On Ducks is a crossover with 'Locked On Nittany Lions' host Zach Seyko and 'Locked On Hoosiers' host Jacob Goins. Are there growing comparisons between Dan Lanning and James Franklin's tenure at Penn State?

ESPN released its FPI metrics for the 2026 football season. The sports giant's list is putting far too much respect into the SEC slate of football teams.

BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 QB/WR CONTROVERSIAL Rankings | Where Oregon ranks Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

On3’s latest quarterback and receiver rankings spark heated debate—can elite quarterback-receiver duos truly explain team success, or do inconsistencies between individual and duo rankings leave fans scratching their heads? The Locked On Big Ten Squad analyzes controversial placements: Why is Jayden Maiava ranked third among Big Ten quarterbacks, yet his top wideout drops to an honorable mention? Does the meteoric rise of Purdue’s Josh Hoover and Nick Marsh make sense, or is it pure off-season hype? Attention shifts to the Iowa Hawkeyes’ win total—set at 7.5 by FanDuel. Can Iowa’s new-look offense and a lean senior class maintain Kirk Ferentz’s historic winning consistency against heavyweights like Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington? Predictions fly, rivalries flare, and bold calls are made. Is an eight-win season realistic, or are the Hawkeyes set for a step back in a loaded Big Ten?
