Oregon Commit FLIPS to Miami, Mario Cristobal. How Will Dan Lanning's Staff Respond in Recruiting? May 18, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's 2027 recruiting efforts took a hit with 4-star DB Ai'King Hall flipping from the Ducks to Miami and HC Mario Cristobal. Where does that leave Dan Lanning's group?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin and recruiting analyst Brian Smith talk about the Ducks' 2 latest OL commits. Brian breaks down the film of what's to like (and love) about Gus Corsair and Cameron Wagner.

Oregon's strategy in the transfer portal when it has come to QBs has been among the most unique in the country. The Ducks reportedly went after a QB who they would have otherwise played in 2026 in addition to Dylan Raiola.

TRAP GAME? Oregon's Big 10 Clash @ Michigan State Should NOT be Dangerous for Dan Lanning's Ducks May 15, 2026

Show notes

Oregon did not get an ideal scheduling break when the Michigan State game was changed to Friday, November 20th. Is this a trap game for Dan Lanning's team?

Today's episode of Locked On Ducks is a crossover with 'Locked On Spartans' host Matt Sheehan. The entire notion of this being a trap game should be overblown.

The Spartans have a new coach in East Lansing with Pat Fitzgerald coming over from Northwestern. Beating Oregon would be THE highlight of his first season.

Show notes

Big Ten playoff chaos heats up as conference experts debate an ever-expanding College Football Playoff. Could a 24-team—or even 128-team—bracket reshape the landscape for programs like Ohio State, Michigan, and Northwestern? The squad tackles whether playoff expansion erodes season value, impacts head coach job security, and opens the door for perennial underdogs to finally make a run. Who benefits—and who’s left scrambling—if postseason access grows at an unprecedented rate? The Big 10 Squad talks about Northwestern’s daunting 2026 schedule, win total predictions, Chip Kelly’s offensive impact, and Big Ten roadblocks that could make or break a season. Rapid-fire banter, sharp predictions, and playful host dynamics make this a must-listen for college football fans eyeing the future of the Big Ten.

Oregon's WORST Football Unit in 2026 Shows Why Dan Lanning's Ducks are National Title Contenders May 13, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's linebacker room is filling a big void in Bryce Boettcher, a 4th round pick of the Colts. Is that the worst position room that the Ducks have on the roster?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the Oregon defensive line and where they stack up nationally. ESPN's Greg McIlroy recently said they could be the best in the country.

Oregon's schedule got a recent shakeup with two games having been moved to Friday night. Portland State isn't a great situation for fans, while the Michigan State game COULD pose a problem.
