No. 7 Oregon prepares for No. 15 USC’s revamped defense in Saturday’s Autzen Stadium matchup

The No. 15 Trojans' defense has improved since these programs last met in 2023, but UO's balanced offense could be too much for USC to handle.

Solid showing by the Blazers to open the season. Fell 118-114.

Anthony Edwards was on a different level with 41 points.

Could have used Damian Lillard’s shooting tonight. Next season.

Jerami Grant scored 29 in his new role off the bench.

Oregon LB Jerry Mixon Jr. has intercepted 2 passes in 4 starts. They weren't by accident.

Mixon studies film to put himself in position to make plays, just like in HS and during UO practices.

“He is a football junkie.” - HS coach Antoine Evans. #Goducks
