What happened: Oregon football has struggled to maintain offensive cohesion since Will Stein departed head coach Dan Lanning's staff. The Ducks entered Saturday's game at Illinois without Dante Moore and Evan Stewart, compounding the unit's execution issues.

Why it matters: The offensive regression threatens Oregon's conference and postseason positioning after the program entered the regular season with AP poll expectations. With quarterback Dylan Raiola and center Poncho Laloulu working to stabilize a depleted receiving corps, the coaching staff faces mounting pressure to adjust its scheme.

What to watch: Oregon looks to regroup in Big Ten conference play as Lanning's staff works to steady the offense.
