Major takeaways from Oregon’s spring scrimmage, Day 1 transfer portal activity

It was a busy day for the Oregon Ducks on Saturday, with a scrimmage and some transfer portal activity. Here are some notes to walk away with.

A lot happened on Saturday in the Oregon Ducks football world.

The morning started with Dan Lanning and the Ducks going through their first scrimmage of the spring season, taking place inside Autzen Stadium with select fans in attendance. The day ended with a trio of Oregon players announcing that they would be entering the transfer portal and leaving the Ducks.

A lot took place in between.

While media members were not allowed into the scrimmage to watch the team play, I have gotten the chance to talk to several people who were in attendance, and have some takeaways from the information that I’ve gathered.

There are also several takeaways to be had from comments made by Lanning and TE coach Drew Mehringer, as well as the transfers that took place later in the day.

We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, let’s get into it.

Highlights: Ducks’ offense flies under new Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham

Did you miss the Ducks’ spring game? We’ve got all of your highlights right here. Settle in, there are a lot.

From the very start of the game, Oregon Duck fans had to know that they were in for quite a show.

With Bo Nix and the yellow team on the field to kick off the annual spring game, things started with a bang as Seven McGee hauled in a 70-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage, leaving the crowd in a frenzy.

A couple of plays later, McGee had a nice one-handed TD grab that kick off the scoring, and the Ducks were off to the races.

We knew that the offense that Kenny Dillingham was bringing to Oregon was going to be more explosve than we’ve seen under previous coaches, but until Saturday, it was hard to know just what we were in for.

After a 31-21 final in the spring game, plus 611 yards of total offense on the day, fans should now have good idea of just what the Ducks are going to be able to do on that side of the ball this year.
