The game was rainy, sloppy, and ultimately uncompetitive, but it was exactly the kind of showing Oregon needed to close out the 2018 regular season. A first half injury to quarterback Justin Herbert and quarter-long suspension to wide receiver Dillon Mitchell aside, the Ducks’ 55-15 win over Oregon State Friday afternoon undoubtedly served as the […]
“Quest for Eight” might not have a sexy ring to it, but it should be the prevailing thought inside the Oregon locker room this week as they seek their eighth win of the regular season on road in Corvallis versus Oregon State this Friday. On paper, the Civil War matchup with the Beavers is skewed […]
The speed in which the college football season flies by never ceases to amaze. It feels like it was only yesterday that we were previewing the season, armed with questions surrounding what the 2018 edition of Oregon football would look like under first-year head coach Mario Cristobal. With only days to go before the final […]
Civil War week has officially arrived. While the week may be a day shorter than normal this year, the rivalry itself is no less intense and no less meaningful for the fan bases that pledge their undying support for either the University of Oregon or Oregon State University. The annual renewal of this historic rivalry […]
Very little has come easy for the Ducks in 2018, as bouts of inconsistency have been about the only consistent thing seen from this team as they’ve navigated what has turned out to be a tricky Pac-12 schedule.

By any measure, the second half of the season has not gone according to plan for Oregon. Yet, Saturday night’s game versus Arizona State is the perfect opportunity for the Ducks to exorcise some demons that have taken hold over the past month. The fact it’s the final home game of the season adds a […]
The final home game of the year is upon us, as Saturday night’s game inside Autzen Stadium will be the last time nine scholarship seniors will take the field wearing an Oregon uniform. If you’ve been following along this year, you know full well it’s been a season of ups and down for the Ducks. […]
Excluding a yet to be determined bowl game, two games remain in what has proven to be a tale of two seasons for the Ducks in 2018. An impressive 5-1 start out of the gate – headlined by a heart-stopping 30-27 overtime win over Washington – has quickly turned sour of late, as Oregon has […]
To paraphrase an old adage, “Sometimes you’ve got to get worse before you get better.” Plenty of first-year head coaches across the country are experiencing that first hand this season. For proof, look no further than the three first-year head coaches with former ties to Oregon. UCLA’s Chip Kelly (2-8 overall), Nebraska’s Scott Frost (3-7), […]
There’s no two ways about it. Oregon’s 32-25 loss to Utah Saturday evening in Salt Lake City is going to be a game that sticks. Similar to road losses to Washington State and Arizona, the Ducks got off to a slow start which found them in a 13-0 hole early. However, Oregon hung around, cobbling […]
