The Oregon Ducks hit the reset button during the past two weeks before diving into preparation for Saturday’s College Football Playoff matchup against James Madison at Autzen Stadium. Time away from football to handle finals week before returning to the field did the team good.

Marcus Mariota and Justin Herbert benefited from returning for a third season as the full-time starter. Moore would benefit from returning for a second season as Oregon’s starter. Should Moore depart, expect the Ducks to be aggressive in the transfer portal.
