With five games down and seven more to go, the 18th-ranked Oregon Ducks will get an opportunity this week to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess the progress they’ve made through the early portion of their schedule. Sporting an imperfect 4-1 record, optimism around the program is understandably high heading into […]
It’s been nearly two years since the Ducks picked up their last Pac-12 road victory. That drought is now officially over, as no. 19 Oregon cruised to a 42-24 win over no. 24 Cal Saturday night in Berkeley to move to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play. Coming off last week’s heartbreaking loss to […]
There’s good news and bad news for Oregon coming out Saturday’s game versus San Jose State.

In total, the Ducks return 11 players who started at least one game a year ago; a group that doesn’t include regulars such as redshirt junior defensive lineman Gary Baker […]
Following a 2017 season in which the Oregon defense underwent a remarkable, if not inconceivable, 12-month turnaround between end of Mark Helfrich’s tenure and the conclusion of Willie Taggart’s fleeting time in Eugene, expectations are at an all-time high for Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt’s group. In total, the Ducks return 11 players who started […]
The anticipation in the air can only mean one thing: The onset of fall camp is upon us! August 3 is the date circled on the calendars of Duck fans near and far, as that is the day fall camp officially opens at the University of Oregon. The month of practices that follow will not […]
