Overview

• Oregon’s quarterback decision is “starting to shape out,” offensive coordinator Will Stein said, with Dante Moore the presumptive leader and Austin Novosad still in a competitive mix.
• Moore’s fall camp has drawn strong reviews for accuracy and command, with Big Ten Network’s Yogi Roth calling him a potential elite player after observing practice.
• Analysts have flagged wide receiver depth as the offense’s hinge point following NFL departures and Evan Stewart’s season‑ending knee injury, with Jurrion Dickey’s suspension adding uncertainty.
• Recent scrimmages swung from a defense‑dominated first outing to an offensive response in the second, which opened with a 13‑play scoring drive and no interceptions, according to Dan Lanning.
• Chris Vannini ranked Oregon No. 7 nationally and questioned its ability to stretch the field, while Josh Pate noted a likely running back committee as a possible swing factor.
