Episode notes

Ryan and Clinton continue with fall previews, and welcome back Dale Bliss to talk Oregon ahead of a pivotal season for Dan Lanning's program.

The Ducks have been a pillar of success since joining the Big Ten. However, playoff success has largely eluded them. Dan Lanning is 2-2 in CFP games but the Ducks have seen each of their previous two seasons end in a blowout against a Big Ten Foe. He has also lost three consecutive games to Ohio State and Indiana -- arguably the Ducks only peer programs in the league. How has Lanning looked to close that gap?

Returning talent helps, and the Ducks have it in spades across their lineup. Potential All-American QB Dante Moore returns and despite the loss of favorite target Kenyon Sadiq to the NFL, he has plenty of skill talent around him. How can Oregon's star QB take a step from "great" to "elite" in 2026?

On defense, the Ducks boast one of the best and deepest DL rooms in the nation, in addition to an outstanding secondary. Where can the Ducks improve most on this side of the ball in 2026?
