Oregon Football is no stranger to playing a high-profile team in a nationally televised non-conference matchup early in the season. 2022 features another game in which the Ducks will take the national stage, this time challenging the reigning national champion Georgia Bulldogs. The challenges to a victory are numerous for the Ducks, ranging from a brand new coaching staff to playing a “neutral site” game against Georgia–in Atlanta. Can Oregon shock the college football world for the second year in a row with Dan Lanning at the helm?
On today’s episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Clint Shamblin of Locked On Bulldogs. Together they preview the impending matchup between their two schools, which is now less than a month away. Clint adamantly states that if Bo Nix is indeed the starter for the Ducks on September 3rd in Atlanta, the quarterback position won’t carry Oregon to a win given his history against Georgia. Though he’s confident Georgia will win the game, he’s less confident than many in the national media and shares how a game would play out in which the Ducks are victorious.
Oregon’s young playmakers, specifically the wide receivers, will have to step up un a major way for Oregon to pull the upset. One area that may give Duck fans some hope is the fact that Georgia lost 15 players to the NFL after their national championship season, including 5 first-round picks (plus Nakobe Dean in the 3rd round). Though a step back from last year’s historic defense is expected, the drop off may not be as severe as many would think.
