Oregon football quarterbacks impress during first team scrimmage of 2024 spring season
Oregon football’s Dan Lanning on what he saw in first spring scrimmage
Oregon football head coach Dan Lanning talks about what he saw from the team during the Ducks’ first spring scrimmage on Saturday in Eugene.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning has said he wants his team ready to play in any and all types of weather conditions.
Saturday the Ducks got a chance to prep for the cold and rain when they went inside Autzen Stadium for the first scrimmage of the spring practice season.
The scrimmage was closed to the media and public but Lanning said the offense looked good early, the defense was better late, and yes, periodic bouts of heavy rain were challenging to play through.
“It certainly made things harder,” Lanning said. “We did a decent job protecting the ball but it certainly made things harder later in the scrimmage to be able to throw the ball effectively. That’s when your running game has to show up, that’s why you want to be a balanced team.”
The scrimmage came two weeks before the Ducks conclude their spring with the annual spring game.
“Overall a good operation and plenty of stuff for us to go attack and clean up,” he said. “I gotta watch the film to see where we’re at but I thought our guys played with some good energy.”
Oregon’s quarterbacks have good day
The scrimmage provided the first opportunity for Oregon’s quarterbacks to get some live reps as the competition to replace Heisman Trophy finalist Bo Nix as the starter under center continues.
Though a spring depth chart hasn’t been released, the presumptive QB1 and and QB2 are sixth-year senior Dillon Gabriel and former five-star sophomore Dante Moore, respectively.
Lanning had praise for both first-year transfers.
“The speed of play shows up even more and more on scrimmage days because it’s just a little bit faster pace and I thought both of those guys handled it well,” Lanning said. “Both of those guys were able to move around with their feet a little bit … which was a positive to see from them. I thought overall we made some pretty good decisions.”
Lanning wasn’t just pleased with the two veterans, however, as he also mentioned the play of freshmen Austin Novosad and Luke Moga.
“I saw some positives from all of our quarterbacks and I thought that some of our young guys really stuck out,” Lanning said. “(Moga and Novosad) did a really good job, had some real positives there.”
Ducks have a balanced scrimmage
Lanning said the offense was able to convert on a few big pass plays and an unnamed kicker converted on a 50-yard attempt as the defense struggled to keep up early.
“I’d say in the first half of the scrimmage they got their butts whooped some times,” Lanning said. “We had some sustained drives and were able to create some success and have some early scores.”
It eventually evened out as the Ducks wrapped up their eighth practice of the spring.
“Always going to be some highs and lows,” Lanning said. “The offense was able to move the ball early, the defense kind of buckled down in the second half of the scrimmage. … It was very balanced scrimmage from my point of view.”

Oregon State Baseball Stays Alive With 9-2 Win Over Yale
Through the first four innings, the game was a pitcher’s duel, with the only base runner being Washington State’s Cam Macleod, who was hit by a pitch in the third inning. Oregon starting pitcher Will Sanford was putting on a clinic, striking out ten Cougars in the first four innings.
In the top of the fifth, the Duck bats started working. Burke-Lee Mabeus hit a double to right center, and then Maddox Molony was walked. Oregon had two base runners, but two outs on the board, and the eighth player in their rotation, Jax Gimenez, was coming to the plate. Gimenez got the job done, hitting a short single to right to score Mabeus and put Oregon up 1-0.

Washington State came close to evening things in the bottom of the fifth. After striking out Dustin Robinson and forcing a ground out from Ryan Skjonsby, Sanford walked Ollie Obenour. Cam Macleod then hit a single, WSU’s first hit of the game, to put a runner in scoring position. Sanford remained clutch on the mound however, striking out Kyler Northrup, his twelfth K of the game, to end the inning.
Sanford picked up his 13th strikeout in the bottom of the sixth, and his 14th in the bottom of the seventh, but ended his day shortly after, having walked Dustin Robinson. Tanner Bradley came in for Oregon and finished off the inning, keeping the Ducks one run lead in place.

Washington State starter had his day end in the top of the eight, after picking up his seventh strikeout. His game will be overshadowed by Sanford, but Myers also had an impressive day, allowing five hits, two walks and one run in his 7.1 innings pitched. Scott Rienguette came in to close out the inning, giving Washington State six outs to get a run.
The Cougs didn’t get one in the bottom of the eighth, going three up three down, and got into trouble in the top of the ninth. Angel Laya led off with a single, and was replaced by pinch runner Elijah Cook. Cook moved to second on a bunt, and then Brayden Jaksa was walked. A fielder’s chocie from Burke-Lee Mabeus got Washington State a second out, but runners at the corners.

Naulivou Lauaki then came to the plate, and blasted the ball over the center field wall, giving Oregon a 4-0 lead headed into the final frame. Gavin Roy grounded out for the first out, but Max Hartman then singled to give the Cougars some hope. A wild pitch Matt Priest advanced Hartmna, but Priest struck out swinging. Dustin Robinson then struck out, sending Washington State to the loser’s bracket.
Washington State and Oregon State will play one last time tomorrow, with the winner having the tough task of taking down the Ducks twice on their home field to keep their Omaha hopes alive.

Watch video of high seas rescue off Oregon coast
A cruise ship, the Silver Whisper, rescued a Canadian man whose vessel broke down nearly 500 miles off the Oregon coast May 26.
A cruise ship rescued a Canadian man stranded on his boat nearly 500 miles of the Oregon coast on May 26, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The 74-year-old man, who the agency did not name, was sailing from Hawaii to British Columbia when his vessel ran into gale-force winds and 30-foot high waves. The 29-foot boat’s engine failed and the mast broke, injuring the man’s shoulder.
He’s made the same trip four times before, Coast Guard officials said, and had food, water, a life raft and a life jacket on board. The mariner used his handheld satellite communicator to contact the U.S. Coast Guard’s Northwest District, which the agency used to track him.
He was rescued 489 miles off the coast of Tillamook.
“This mariner’s experience and preparedness allowed the Coast Guard and other agencies to communicate with him and effect a rescue,” Coast Guard Northwest District Search and Rescue Program Manager Scott Giard said. “His foresight to bring a satellite communicator averted a tragedy.
Coast Guard officials deployed a C-27J cargo plane from Sacramento, California, to function as their “eye in the sky” as they coordinated the rescue because he was so far from the shore.
The plane assessed the state of the sea and the damage to the vessel. It was also equipped with life rafts, communication gear and rations that could sustain a survivor while responders coordinate the rescue, officials said.
Coast Guard officials contacted a cruise ship, the Silver Whisper, that went 120 off its charted course to rescue the stranded Canadian man. The Coast Guard found the Silver Whisper by tapping into its Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue system, a global network that tracks the positions of commercial ships that participate in the program.
