Flock Thoughts is a sporadic series at WFOD that aims to offer opinion and analysis on a collection of timely, newsworthy items surrounding the Oregon football program. Think of it as going to Costco for the samples, but just replace the nice ladies in hairnets and plastic gloves with our thoughts on some of the […]
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. […]
For a full decade (plus a year) spanning either parts or the entire tenures of three head coaches (Mike Bellotti, Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich), the Oregon Ducks ruled the roost when it came who led the Pac-10/12 in rushing offense. In fact, from 2006 to 2016, the Ducks not only led the conference in rushing […]
There was no hangover Saturday evening inside Autzen Stadium. For Duck fans, that came Sunday morning. A week after being handed a soul crushing loss at the hands of the Auburn Tigers in Arlington, Texas, it’s safe to say that 16th-ranked Oregon worked out whatever lingering frustrations they may have had entering the weekend, as […]
The dog days of summer have arrived. And while there’s little cause for celebration during this portion of the calendar, there is good news to report: WFOD’s 2019 Fall Camp Preview has arrived as well! As fall camp fast approaches, WFOD will be rolling out an in-depth series of position-by-position previews to help you fully […]
Last year was the first time in a long time that there was true uncertainty for the Ducks at the running back position. In fact, prior to last season, it had been 15 years since Oregon entered an upcoming season with a major question mark at running back, as the Ducks enjoyed a run of […]
The June recruiting momentum keeps rolling right along for Mario Cristobal and the Ducks, as the second-year head coach picked up his third pledge to the 2020 class in the last seven days with the verbal commitment of Greenville (Miss.) St. Joseph three-star running back Trey Benson. He joins three-star prospects Faaope Laloulu and Jared […]
It feels almost incomprehensible considering the start of the February signing period was just a few short weeks ago, but ready or not, the unofficial start of the 2019 season is right around the corner. March 7 marks the beginning of spring football for the Ducks, and similar to last year, the Ducks will have […]
It was right around this time last week that we sat down and considered the biggest questions for the Ducks heading into their final non-conference game against the hapless San Jose State Spartans. With victory for Oregon all but sealed away, we wondered who might earn the start at wide receiver between Johnny Johnson and […]
Forgive fans and those who cover the team for looking ahead, but after watching Oregon dispose of two – and likely soon to be three following Saturday’s game versus San Jose State – overmatched opponents in convincing fashion in consecutive weeks, the countdown to the Ducks’ Pac-12 opener versus Stanford is unofficially on. At this […]
