The No. 6 Oregon Ducks are idle this week ahead of their next matchup against the Iowa Hawkeyes. There’s still plenty to talk about including the coaching carousel, flip season with the 2026 recruiting class and much more.

I was trying to bring a special guest on for the 700th episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, but it didn’t work out and I think I ended up talking about Oregon’s loss to Indiana in that episode.

But I’m very happy to say that I was able to get legendary Oregon running back Kenjon Barner on the podcast for the latest episode!

Barner and I dove into a whole lot in this one.

We talked about Oregon’s true freshmen running backs Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. Davison has now scored 10 touchdowns on the year, the first Duck back to do that as a true freshman since CJ Verdell in 2018, and he’s chasing Royce Freeman’s record of 18 set in 2014. Hill has been electric with the ball in his hands and is average more than nine yards per carry.

We also tried to dissect Oregon’s offensive inconsistency and how that’s hurt the team this season. What are the solutions? How can the Ducks get back on track?

Lastly we addressed special teams, specifically the return game as we both agreed the Ducks could be getting more out of their punt and kick returns every game. I was also very excited to ask Barner about his transition to a career in broadcasting after he finish up his 10 seasons in the NFL.

I can say this is one of my favorite episodes I’ve done in a while and you do not want to miss all the great insight and stories he had to share!
