For Oregon, the dream of reaching the College Football Playoff in Mario Cristobal’s second year as head coach is all but over. After enduring roughly three and a half quarters in which the 6th-ranked Ducks largely failed to find traction against an opponent riding a four-game losing streak, an unlikely late fourth quarter comeback fell […]
In what was billed as arguably the biggest remaining game on their schedule, the 7th-ranked Oregon Ducks delivered hands down their biggest statement win of the season. A sluggish first quarter, which saw the Ducks trail 10-0 at the end of the first frame, gave way to a 56-14 avalanche from the second quarter on. […]
Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal has been consistent with his message all season long, that the current week’s game is the biggest game of the season because it’s the next game on the schedule. And while Cristobal is absolutely correct in that regard, he’d likely admit behind closed doors that this week’s game carries just […]
With each passing day, the buzz surrounding Saturday night’s game in the Coliseum between the 7th-ranked Oregon Ducks and the unranked USC Trojans builds. With the Pac-12 North division all but locked up, Oregon justifiably has its sights set on something bigger than a conference title, as it now finds itself in the thick of […]
As 11th-ranked Oregon prepares to take on Washington State this Saturday under the lights at Autzen Stadium, they do so knowing full well the recent history of the game that pits these tepid Pacific Northwest rivals. For four years running, the Cougars have bested the Ducks, taking full advantage of an Oregon program that has […]
Going as far back as before the 2018 season, many have wondered (ourselves included) who would step up and assume the title of “lead back” in the Oregon offense in a post-Royce Freeman world. Tony Brooks-James was initially perceived to be the heir apparent to the record-setting Freeman, but as the season got underway, that […]
“The tougher it gets, the harder we play!” Those were the words reverberating off the walls inside a raucous visitors’ locker room within the bowels of Husky Stadium Saturday afternoon, as the 12th-ranked Ducks overcame a 14-point deficit in the second half to earn an exhilarating 35-31 victory over the 25th-ranked Washington Huskies. The words […]
Don’t expect the Ducks to experience a crippling shortage of capable defensive backs any time soon. After adding four defensive backs to this year’s roster from the 2019 recruiting cycle, another major wave of help in the secondary is on its way, as Oregon added a sixth verbal commitment from a defensive back to their […]
Through six games this season, the 13th-ranked Ducks have enjoyed some fairly dominant performances. In fact, just about every victory that Oregon has scored to this point in the season – with the possible exception of the Cal game – has felt like a game in which the Ducks have effectively held down their opponents […]
A win is a win is a win, and while the 16th-ranked Ducks picked up their first win in a Pac-12 opener since 2014, they looked anything but complete in their 21-6 victory over the Stanford Cardinal Saturday night in Palo Alto. Buoyed once again by a dominating defensive effort and a virtually spotless performance […]
