Nationwide ground stop order halts flights in Eugene
Flights are grounded nationwide , including in Eugene, after the Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop Nov. 13. A message on Eugene Airport website encouraged travelers to check with their airlines for information on delays and cancellations. The FAA issued the nationwide ground stop just before 1 p.m. for flights across the United States citing extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns related to an air traffic control issue. The directive instructs all departing aircraft to remain on the ground until further notice. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the ground stop followed a communication issue affecting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. "FAA technicians are investigating the issue," Duffy said in a post on X . He said the agency would provide updates as they become available. Flight tracking company Flightradar24 reported the FAA issued the order following an equipment outage. The FAA's advisory also cited frequency issues across the National Airspace System. Flights already in the air are not being ordered to land immediately. International flights heading to the United States will be handled on a case-by-case basis, according to the advisory. How long will the FAA ground stop last? The FAA advisory lists an effective period beginning at 12:54

Former Duck QB Austin Novosad throws 3 TDs in 1st career start
In three seasons with the Oregon Ducks , quarterback Austin Novosad stuck around, awaiting his turn to start. The four-star passer from the 2023 class competed with Dante Moore for the starting nod in 2025, but was beat out and ultimately entered the transfer portal after the season having completed 12-of-15 passes for 99 yards as a Duck. Novosad soon committed to the Bowling Green Falcons, getting a fresh start and looking to compete for the starting job during his junior campaign. Once again, he was beat out, this time by Division-II Assumption College transfer Jay Kastantin. But with Kastantin out with an injury, Novosad finally got his first career college start on Tuesday night in Bowling Green's MAC matchup with Kent State. He didn't disappoint, completing 15-of-25 passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Falcons to a 33-28 victory. Former Oregon Ducks QB Austin Novosad’s first career TD pass. Started for Bowling Green tonight, has 200 yards, 3TDs thru 3 quarters. Currently airing on ESPNU pic.twitter.com/HJJO67Mr1c — Bjorn Bergstrom (@BjornBergstrom2) November 11, 2026 The former Ducks ' first career touchdown pass was as impressive as it gets, converting a third-and-six for a 70-yard touchdown to his running

Dan Lanning's Oregon in Trouble After Failure to Meet Major Requirements for Playoffs
Oregon could have its 2027 College Football Playoff hopes derailed before the season even kicks off. The Ducks have just nine qualifying games on their 12-game schedule, falling short of the CFP’s new 10-game requirement. With the 24-team expansion officially approved Monday, Dan Lanning faces a major scheduling headache. Oregon must find another qualifying opponent or secure an exception to avoid putting its playoff eligibility at risk. “The Oregon Ducks currently DO NOT MEET the requirements to make the 2027 CFB Playoff,” Elite College Football’s Instagram post read. “They only have NINE Pow...

Oregon lands one of nation's top high school distance runners ahead of schedule
One of the nation's top high school distance runners is moving on to the collegiate level ahead of schedule. Ellery Lincoln, a senior at Lincoln High School in Portland, Oregon , will graduate early and enroll at the University of Oregon in January, forgoing her final high school track and field season to compete for the Ducks during the 2026-27 indoor campaign. The news was first reported by DyeStat, and later reported by the Eugene Register-Guard, part of the USA TODAY Network . "I just wanna say that there's a lot of thought put into this decision and the people around me wouldn't let me make a self-destructive choice," Lincoln told DyeStat. "And I've got a lot of people in my corner helping support me through this transition and I feel very confident about where I'm going." The decision comes after Lincoln capped her high school cross-country career with a second consecutive OSAA Class 6A state championship last weekend. She won in a course-record 16 minutes, 57.6 seconds at Lane Community College. Lincoln has established herself as one of the most accomplished distance runners in Oregon high school history. She owns state records in the 1,500 meters (4:07.06), mile (4:27.65)

Four games that matter for Oregon's Big Ten title chances in Week 11
Having suffered three losses before the calendar flipped to November, the Oregon Ducks find themselves scrapping and clawing to make the Big Ten championship game, hoping to give themselves a shot at the College Football Playoff. It's not an enviable spot to be in, as the Ducks need to receive some help in order to reach the conference title game — but it's the spot that Oregon has put itself in. They've done their part in digging themselves out of a hole, winning two straight must-wins against Northwestern and Ohio State. The wins must continue in the final three regular-season games, home contests against Michigan and Washington and road date with Michigan State. If they don't go 3-0, nothing else matters and the Ducks will be packing their bags for a no-name bowl game in roughly a month. If they don't get some help, and the CFP Committee doesn't deem them worthy of receiving an at-large bid to the 12-team field, that same result will occur. Help is very much needed, and Week 11 is the most important week of them all. Last week, there were ten teams with two or fewer losses in Big Ten play. Now, after Minnesota

Atmospheric river moving on shore, Willamette Pass to see first snow
An atmospheric river is forecast to reach Oregon Nov. 13 and 14. Much of the deluge is predicted to land south of Eugene-Springfield and Florence, pummeling coastal cities from Reedsport to the Oregon-California border and thrashing Jackson, Klamath and Lake counties with high winds. The Willamette Valley is still expected to get rain and gusty winds as the ribbon of moisture moves on shore. Eugene is now forecast to see 0.31 inches of rain on Nov. 13 and Nov. 14 will likely be dry. Wind gusts are forecast to reach a maximum of 23 mph both days. The Willamette Pass is forecast to see some of the first snow of the season. NWS forecasts the pass will see 0.5 inches of snow on the night of Nov. 13 and another 0.4 inches the evening of Nov. 14.
