Oregon, Dan Lanning PRESSURE at USC is Real as Lincoln Riley's Trojans Seek Statement in B1G Clash Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

Oregon and USC have both had disappointing performances this year, but it's the Ducks who are trying to avoid their second loss on Saturday. The narrative regarding this game has shifted since the Summer.

Today's episode of Locked On Ducks is a crossover with 'Locked On USC' host Marc Kulkin. Has the pressure actually gone up on Lincoln Riley to beat Oregon for the first time given the Ducks' early season struggles?

Neither team's defense has been stellar this year with the Trojans allowing 35 points to Rutgers last week after Oregon gave up 39 to Oklahoma State the week before. The Ducks' defense must do one thing in particular this week against the Trojans.

Show notes

An utter non-controversy began to circulate following Oregon's 84-0 win over Portland State because of a late touchdown run. The folks convincing themselves they're mad are not being any level of serious.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the young players who stood out with strong performances on Saturday. Which ones could see a bigger role in games that matter?

Oregon played some young running backs on Saturday, and they looked good in the touches they got. Could Tradarian Ball or Brandon Smith see more playing time in the coming weeks in bigger games?
