Oregon Volleyball Splits Their Road Trip

The Oregon Ducks women’s volleyball team split their recent road trip, falling to #16 Penn State in four sets (17‑25, 25‑23, 19‑25, 20‑25) before bouncing back with a four‑set victory over Ohio State (26‑24, 23‑25, 25‑19, 26‑24).

Oregon Football Falls Flat Against Illinois, Loses 21-10

Oregon's football season hits a low point as the Ducks fall 21-10 to Illinois at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 24, 2026. After an early 7‑0 lead sparked by Jordon Davison’s 2‑yard rush, the Ducks are shut out in the second half while Illinois controls the clock with ball‑control drives. Key moments include a fumble by Dylan Raiola, multiple sacks by Teitum Tuioti, and a 75‑yard touchdown run by Illinois’ Laughery. The loss marks Oregon’s worst defeat under Dan Lanning and drops the Ducks to a 0‑2 record in games they were favored to win.

Oregon @ Illinois Football Game Thread

The Oregon Ducks return to Champaign for the first time since 1993, facing Illinois at Memorial Stadium at 12:00 pm PT on Saturday. After a dominant 38‑9 win over Nebraska, the Ducks enter as favorites but must overcome two weeks of sluggish offense and a long injury list. A reminder of the 1993 Illini upset adds extra spice. Later that day, Oregon’s volleyball team seeks to bounce back from a 1‑3 loss to #16 Penn State with a match against unranked Ohio State at 4:00 pm PT. Both games air on the Big Ten Network and B1G+.

Reacts: Oregon QB Survey results

A recent SBNation fan poll shows Oregon Ducks supporters shifting their preference back to quarterback Dylan Raiola, with 25% favoring the backup Brock Thomas and a quarter still rooting for Akili Smith Jr. The upcoming Saturday matchup sees Oregon facing Nebraska without a clear starter, while Illinois also loses QB Katin Houser. Bookmakers have trimmed the projected combined score to under 50 points, and FanDuel’s odds now list Oregon as a slight 30‑20 favorite.

The Ducks’ podcast dissects Illinois’ injury‑riddled 2026 offense after a 31‑30 OT win over Michigan State on Oct. 10. Starting QB #4 Houser, a veteran transfer, exits with a hand injury after his second interception, prompting true freshman #7 Clayton to finish the game and spark a one‑point overtime victory. The hosts note Clayton’s eight passes mirrored Houser’s season‑long patterns—stellar to the top two receivers, weak to other targets—highlighting the Illini’s reliance on a short‑passing, catch‑and‑run scheme under OC Lunney amid an underdeveloped line and plagued tight ends. They debate whether sophomore QB Boyd will replace Houser or if Clayton will keep the reins for Saturday’s matchup.

MBB: Altman Appreciation

The post celebrates Dana Altman's impact on Oregon men’s basketball, tracing his rise from a shaky start in 2011 to a legacy of consistency and postseason success. Under Altman, the Ducks posted fifteen straight 20‑win seasons, captured multiple Pac‑12 titles, reached the Elite Eight twice (including a historic 2017 upset of Kansas) and made five consecutive NCAA appearances. Even after setbacks in 2022‑23 and a conference move to the Big Ten, Altman engineered another March surge, earning an NCAA berth and securing the most March wins of any program in the past 15 years. The article argues his legacy outweighs his final‑season struggles.
