One of Oregon’s most recognizable gameday traditions has made the jump into EA Sports College Football 2027, giving fans a virtual version of the Ducks’ third-quarter “Shout” celebration.
The mod, called “ShoutOregon.fbmod,” was created by video game content creator @DDP_2k and adds the “Shout” music originally performed by Otis Day & The Knights in the 1978 movie “Animal House,” which was shot on the University of Oregon campus. The same creator has also produced music modifications for other programs, including LSU’s controversial “Neck” chant and Tennesee’s “Rocky Top” walk-out music.
Other creators have been busy around the game as well, working on modifications that include Alabama’s “Thunderstruck” walk-out, broadcast-style on-screen graphics for FOX Sports, ESPN, and CBS Sports, and updates to campus visuals and the appearance of athlete and coach character models.
Getting the Oregon mod installed takes some effort. It is only available for the PC version of the game, not Xbox or PlayStation, and players need to work through the game’s software to add it. In a Youtube video, content creator Shady Mike Gaming walks through the process, which includes downloading the file, extracting it with an app, navigating EA Sports’ “Anti Cheat” software so online play still works, and setting up a “Mod Manager” to complete the installation.
Shady Mike Gaming also warns that downloads can carry a virus, so using trusted communities and doing plenty of research is important to avoid damaging a PC or the game.
For Oregon fans, though, the appeal is obvious. “Shout” has been part of the Ducks’ identity for years.
It started playing at the end of the third quarter in 2010 as a nod to the movie’s connection to Oregon, with the team showing the original scene from “Animal House.” Then in 2015, Nike filmed its own version of the famous scene with Duck legends including former running backs LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner, decathalon star Ashton Eaton, former quarterback Marcus Mariota, former quarterback Dan Fouts, broadcaster Neil Everett, and many more.
At Autzen Stadium, “Shout” still brings out a familiar scene: Ducks players, and sometimes even opponents, dancing along to the song. Those moments regularly spread across social media and keep the tradition in the spotlight.
The game’s July 9 release also sparked another major conversation around micro-transactions. EA Sports College Football 2027 became the first entry in the series to feature micro-transactions in Dynasty and Road To Glory, after the 2024 reboot only included payments in Ultimate Team. Following heavy backlash and pay-for-play allegations, EA Sports said on July 10 that micro-transactions would be removed from both Dynasty and Road To Glory.
That change matters even more for Oregon fans, since the Ducks are the No. 1 ranked team in the game and quarterback Dante Moore is on the cover, making the title feel especially centered on Oregon without the extra cost attached.

Oregon Just Landed Another In-State Receiver Fans Will Love
Oregons 2027 recruiting class added another in-state receiver with real upside when Malachi Garlington made his commitment public, giving the Ducks another local name to build around on the offensive side of the ball. The ranking services have started to notice, too, with Rivals bumping him from an 84 to an 89 as his profile continues to rise.
For Oregon, the appeal goes beyond raw talent. Garlingtons interest in the program was shaped by what the Ducks have done with receivers before him, and that track record is a big part of why this one matters for the staff. The next question is how quickly his development keeps moving, because his ceiling is starting to look a lot higher than the number next to his name. [Read more 🡒]
Former Five-Star Suddenly Has Oregon Fans Watching The Secondary Closely
Naeem Offord arrived in Eugene with five-star expectations, and his first season gave Oregon enough to keep watching closely. The cornerback appeared in all 15 games as a freshman and finished with 15 tackles, a steady start for a player still learning the speed and details of the college game. Now heading into his sophomore year, he is positioned to make a bigger push in a secondary that still has Brandon Finney Jr. and Ify Obidegwu penciled in as starters.
What makes Offord especially interesting is how the staff sees his progress behind the scenes. Coaches have pointed to a sharper football IQ, more confidence and better physical development, signs that usually matter as much as raw talent when a young defensive back starts climbing the depth chart. With some departures opening space at cornerback, Oregon has a real opportunity to lean on Offord in a larger role, and maybe even more if his offseason growth carries over once the games start.

Dan Lanning Is Closing In On A Quarterback Oregon Fans Crave
Oregons quarterback recruiting board got a little more interesting this week when the Ducks extended a scholarship offer to 2028 passer Josiah Boyd, a highly regarded dual-threat prospect who has already built real buzz in recruiting circles. Boyd sits among the top quarterbacks in his class and has the kind of athletic profile Oregon has tended to covet, making him a natural fit for a program that has turned quarterback recruiting into one of its biggest strengths.
The offer also lands with some emotional weight, because Boyd has long viewed Oregon as the school he wanted to end up at. Rivals analysts have already logged predictions in the Ducks favor, and if that momentum holds, Boyd would slide into a quarterback pipeline that is already loaded with talent and future competition. For Oregon, the challenge now is the familiar one: turning early traction with a dream-school recruit into a commitment before other programs can get fully involved. [Read more 🡒]
