Oregon

Big Ten · 2026 season

The story so far

Oregon fans spent the season fixated on Drew Mehringer's offense, watching a stout defense get wasted through humiliating losses to Oklahoma State, UCLA and Illinois. With Jay Johnson now calling plays and the record at 5-3, relief has turned bitter as fans mourn what could have been.

what fans talked about, week by week
Season-long

  • Gripes about tunnel screens and timid passing grew into weekly demands to fire Mehringer, and when Jay Johnson took over in Week 9, a decent offense felt like damning proof.

    “Jay Johnson proving how fucking bad Drew Mehringer was. He wasn't great calling plays by any means, but he saw things working and decided "Let's keep doing that." All without calling a dumb fucking swinging gate play for no reason.”
