Oregon's O-Line STRUGGLES Likely to Continue? Dan Lanning/Staff Need Fixes but...Where? Raiola Talk Oct 13, 2026

Oregon's Dylan Raiola was TERRIBLE vs UCLA, but Others Share Blame for Ducks' Struggles vs Bruins Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

Oregon's quarterback play on Saturday was the worst that Eugene has seen since Braxton Burmeister in a dreadful 2017 season. Is Dylan Raiola still the guy if Dante Moore can't play against Nebraska this week?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the potential of a pending QB battle for this week. It might not matter who emerges if the O-Line doesn't improve.

Oregon OC Drew Mehringer is taking a lot of deserved heat for struggles on that side of the ball. If the Ducks make a change, a good option is not currently residing too far away.
