For the Oregon Ducks, the 2025 college football season will be one of great interest. After a 2024 season in which Dan Lanning’s team won the Big Ten Conference in its first year as league members, expectations were set high. Now, with an almost entirely new-look roster that returns just four starters, there are a lot of questions to be answered.
