Season Overview: The Ducks win ten games, including a thriller against North Carolina in their bowl game. Offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham unlocked quarterback Bo Nix, who had the best college season. Oregon gave away some winnable games, including Washington and Oregon State.

2023 Outlook: Can Will Stein continue the offensive progression of Bo Nix with Kenny Dillingham off to Arizona State? Coach Lanning has to see improvement in the secondary as well. The Ducks got one of the best offensive linemen in the portal and one of the best defensive linemen in the portal. If a couple of close games go the other way, the Ducks might compete for the playoff.
