A strong finish to the 2018 season begins in earnest this Saturday when the 19th-ranked Ducks travel to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats. In spots this season, Oregon has looked like a team that is more than capable of challenging for the right to the proverbial Pac-12 throne. A win over Washington briefly […]
In many respects, Oregon’s performance last Saturday on the road at Washington State was an outlier based on what we’ve seen throughout the season. In the first half against the Cougs, the Ducks appeared unorganized, undisciplined, and unprepared, which played no small part in Oregon’s stunning 27-point deficit heading into halftime; a deficit that ultimately […]
With five games left, the Ducks can see the light at the end of the long regular season tunnel. At 5-2 overall, and 2-2 in Pac-12 play, Oregon has an uphill climb if they are to scratch and claw their way to a Pac-12 North division title and a berth in the Pac-12 Championship Game. […]
Following a wild and woolly first half of the football season, teams across the country are gearing up for a final stretch run that they hope either cements their place atop the conference standings, or at a minimum, secures bowl eligibility. For the 19th-ranked Oregon Ducks, bowl eligibility is all but confirmed, though they do […]
After knocking off preseason Pac-12 favorite Washington a week ago, a major question entering the week asked how would Oregon handle the role reversal would have them playing the role of “hunted” opposed “hunter” entering Saturday’s game in Pullman versus no. 25 Washington State. The answer now, it seems, is “not well,” as the 12th-ranked […]
In terms of what remains on the schedule for the 12th-ranked Oregon Ducks, Saturday afternoon’s showdown in Pullman versus Washington State is as pivotal a game as there is between now and the end of the season. This game, for both teams, represents an opportunity to assume even greater control over the race for the […]
We may still be a few days away from the showdown in the Palouse between no. 12 Oregon and no. 25 Washington State, but it appears that Cougar fans are already in Saturday form given the way they welcomed the College GameDay production trucks to town Wednesday afternoon. Welcome to Pullman!!! @CollegeGameDay #GoCougs #GameDayPullman pic.twitter.com/FQwWYTBX4H […]
Have we caught our collective breaths yet following Oregon’s heart-stopping 30-27 overtime victory over Washington last Saturday? If not, you have some catching up to do, as there is no time for fatigue and emotional hangover with perhaps the most difficult road test of the season on the immediate horizon for head coach Mario Cristobal and […]
As the hoopla surrounding Oregon’s win over Washington begins to subside, I’ve found myself coming back to a place best described as random, yet oddly poetic – at least through my weird prism. As strange as it sounds, my mind wanders to The Wire, the critically-acclaimed HBO television show that last aired to cable subscribers over […]
The game lived up to the hype. For only the sixth time in 111 bitter meetings, the 17th-ranked Ducks and 7th-ranked Huskies collided as ranked rivals on what was a picture perfect afternoon in the Willamette Valley. With Oregon seeking its first win over a top 10 team since the 2015 Rose Bowl versus Florida […]
