The Oregon Ducks surged past James Madison with a 51-34 playoff win, but defensive lapses raised red flags for their championship ambitions. Can Dan Lanning’s squad withstand high-powered offenses as they face Texas Tech next? Dante Moore dazzled with 313 passing yards and five total touchdowns, powering the Ducks’ offense, while Malik Benson and Jordan Davison provided game-changing support. Yet, Oregon’s defense surrendered 500 yards—much of it against starters—despite boasting a top-three pass-defense unit this season.

Craig Shemon scrutinizes the Ducks’ performance, spotlighting concerning breakdowns, missed tackles, and the implications for Oregon’s playoff future. The episode features real-time fan reactions, coaching moves across the Big Ten, and transfer portal updates tied to Michigan, Nebraska, and Penn State. Don’t miss expert analysis on Oregon’s strengths, weaknesses, and postseason prospects—plus a rapid-fire roundup of Big Ten hoops and bowl season shakeups.
