Following the win over Michigan State Friday night, our Jake Hamre put together his takeaways from the win:

National recruiting analyst Greg Smith is fresh off a trip to see Jackson Cantwell and gives the latest on his recruitment. Are there teams separating from the pack for the No. 1 player in the 2026 class?

Today on the DSA Inside Read a 3-2-1 look at the win over Michigan State and forward to Ohio State this weekend

Just a quick recap of some early feedback from this weekends visitors plus a very early look at some of the visitors set to be in town this weekend.

40-35, welcome to Tuscaloosa Kalen

I guess TX and tOSU will be 1-2, but then who? PSU, Miami, or maybe UO? A good guess would be they set up next week with OSU 2 and UO 3 for the showdown. Polls should be out soon. I doubt they will keep GA so high after Bama lost. Funny how DeBoer went from the next GOAT to the new goat, lol.

After the dominant performance in the trenches, there were still some small things that can be addressed. Here is our weekly Fifth Quarter analysis of the win over Michigan State:

Sunday Morning Sidewalk. Thoughts on Friday's game abd next week:

Jordan James had his best game of the season tonight and talked with media about how good it felt to get his knees up in this game:

Some pretty inpressive work this week with perhaps the biggest challenge of the season eight days ahead. Thee of us, Shark, Rockin and me, got MSU's scoring correct and the guest from beyond the pond was the only one nailing Oregon's point total. Corky, Brandon and Guest Akilli Smith figured out the spread correctly. Actually Shark's 34-10 prediction was amazingly close and he takes away the honor this week.

Shark 122
Rockin 118
Brandon 117

Great job guys. Hope to see you all back for the very tough to call game next week

Good afternoon all,

This is the interview I have been referencing all week. We did this as our first DSA Flock Talk: The Podcast. We discussed a wide range of topics from the game lsat night, to his childhood decision to switch from basketball to football, a little bit of his recruiting stuff from 2020 through the tough end to 2021, and so much more.

For the next several hours this is exclusive to DSA, but I am going to make it free and promote it later this evening.

Hope you enjoy!

Stumbling our way to 5-0.

Big step up next week.

Hi Chip 👋

Just a note. Dakorien Moore did not make it to town this weekend. His Duncanville had a practice ahead of a rivalry game upcoming and it did not make sense for him to miss that practice. The plan is now for him to come next week for the Ohio State game.

Following the win over Michigan State, Tez Johnson talked about getting better at blocking for others. In our last interveiw of the night Tez talks a lot about everyone else in this great interview:

Derrick Harmon talks about the win and playing his former teammates:

Jordan Burch talks about the defense following Oregon's win over Michigan State:

Oregon QB on his two interceptions tonight: "My eyes get bigger than my stomach in the red zone"

Here is our full story on Gabriel's post game comments and his look ahead to Ohio State.

Here is a full recap of Lanning's post game comments:

All in all a bit different. Starting defense was dominant, offense had more brilliance but still some self inflicted wounds that could be much more costly against better teams (like next week's game).

Here is our full game recap from Autzen Stadium:

Just two hours until kickoff so time to get started with the game thread. Brandon will be down on the field soon with some exclusive photos and video.

Through the first four games, @bryce_boettcher grades out as the best player on the Oregon #GoDucks defense and #4 LB in the nation. Today we wrote a feature article on his work so far this season:

For anyone interested the spread is 24 as I open this up. Don't forget, the game is on Friday night so it's a short week for us score guessers, too. Not that I a not used to coming up a little short in this thing.

The Dux are going up against a coach who is way too familiar but I'm not sure he can instill the rivalry mentality in his new crew, Maybe he can get them to win one for the coach but this is a bottom half team in the conference which is what the Beavers were when Oregon dominated the match-up. With him back near square one I am going to guess 43-10, finally beating a spread.
