Oregon Football Prepares for Defensive Overhaul After Spring Game

Spring games across major college football programs have highlighted significant developments in roster depth and positional battles. Washington's defensive line emerged as a notably deep unit during their spring game, with multiple players stepping up despite injuries and showcasing the improvements under coach Jedd Fisch. Auburn, meanwhile, is expected to rely heavily on standout players like Faulk for defensive success, though several positions remain competitive, especially with the influx of talented freshmen and transfers. Michigan's spring game revealed strong depth at running back and tight end, but concerns persist about quarterback and offensive line depth, particularly with top players recovering from injury. Oregon faces the challenge of replacing much of its starting defense but appears well-positioned due to strong recruiting efforts and offensive talent. Each team's spring performance offers optimism but also underscores areas needing further development as they head toward the fall season.
