Despite the game being played under picture perfect Bay Area skies Monday afternoon, the play on the field inside Levi’s Stadium was anything but picturesque. Seeking their ninth win of the season and their first ever bowl victory under head coach Mario Cristobal, the Ducks overcame a historically ghastly offensive performance to defeat the Michigan […]
Poof! Just like that, the end of the 2018 season is nigh for the Oregon Ducks. Mario Cristobal’s first full season on the job as Ducks head coach has to generally be considered a success considering the program’s Herculean efforts on the recruiting trail, along with a landmark win over bitter rival and no. 7-ranked […]
For the second straight week on back-to-back Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the Oregon football team has suffered a departure or defection from the program. Last week, four-star recruits Jared Casey and Jeremiah Criddell announced their de-commitments from the Ducks’ 2019 recruiting class, ultimately dropping Oregon’s class from fourth to seventh in 247Sports’ Composite Team Rankings. This […]
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 […]
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.

Though UCLA is far […]
With Oregon’s hopes of contending for a Pac-12 Championship this season effectively dashed, it’s difficult to peg any game from this point forward as “must win.” However, in examining the ways in which Oregon has been defeated the past two weeks, it is officially gut check time for head coach Mario Cristobal’s charges. In this […]
Raise your hand if you were expecting Saturday’s result in Tucson! Certainly there were things to be concerned about following Oregon’s uneven performance at Washington State last week, but beyond a few select diehards in the Tucson area, it’s hard to imagine anyone soberly envisioning the events that transpired inside Arizona Stadium Saturday night. In […]
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.
