Consider the Oregon Ducks’ experience of the extremes in one week. In week one, the Ducks faced the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs in Atlanta. New Oregon head coach Dan Lanning went up against the team that he was defensive coordinator for in 2021. Naturally, Lanning was reminded just how far Oregon must go to become a true national contender. Georgia annihilated Oregon with the College Football odds. By contrast, Oregon hosts the FCS Eastern Washington Eagles this week in the Ducks’ Autzen Stadium home opener.

Eastern Washington at Oregon SBG Odds Overview
At first glance, Oregon would seem to have a sportsbook cakewalk on Saturday night. But before anyone looks down on Eastern Washington, they should get over it fast. The Eagles are an FCS power and have scored a shocking win over a Pac-12 team before. Furthermore, Oregon was utterly unimpressive in their season opener. Regardless of if it was against the defending national champions or not.
Eastern Washington Eagles Team Overview
It has never been easier for a college football player to switch programs. Yet, Eastern Washington has experienced very little turnover in that regard in the last two seasons. Despite the NCAA loosened transfer rules. Eastern Washington has continued to heavily recruit high school students and develop them. Additionally, they create an atmosphere that players appreciate.
Aaron Best has been around the program for 26 years. Since he became head coach in 2017, the team is 41-17, with three playoff appearances in five seasons.
Oregon Ducks Team Overview
Last week the Ducks were humiliated in a 49-3 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs as 16-point dogs. The game went under the total of 54.5. Georgia QB Stetson Bennett threw for 368 yards and accounted for three touchdowns. Overall, Bennett lit up the Ducks for 25-of-31 passes with two touchdowns and ran for another score. Georgia ruined the debut of Oregon coach Dan Lanning. In turn, Georgia opened it up on offense, throwing 37 times for 439 yards.
Following three years as Georgia’s co-defensive coordinator, Lanning looked at his former team from the opposing sideline. Accordingly, Lanning saw just how far the Ducks had to go. Oregon QB Bo Nix transferred to Eugene after starting at Auburn the last three seasons. He faced a team he lost to three times while playing in the SEC. Now he is 0-4. Despite his poor showing, Nix has a solid grasp on the Oregon quarterback job. Nix completed 21 of 37 for just 173 yards, and his second interception was an especially poor decision.
Even though he didn’t name a starting quarterback leading up to the game, Lanning never considered anyone else. Still, Nix is tops on the depth chart. Lanning has a lot of work to bring the Ducks to a truly elite level. While there’s no shame in losing to a team such as Georgia, Oregon expected to be much more competitive against UGA.
