Oregon, Dan Lanning Get MASSIVE Praise as National College Football Analyst Loves Ducks' Defense

On3's JD Pickell recently picked Oregon's 2026 defense to be the best on paper in the country going into the season. What would have to happen for that to be the case?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses Oregon's offense and how balanced they should be in 2026. The Ducks shouldn't have to rely on one aspect of their offense more than the other.

Oregon's 2026 roster is the best that Dan Lanning has had during his time in Eugene. Dante Moore is a big reason why.
