In a normal year, college football’s early signing period would be met with a heightened level of anticipation, as programs and fans of programs across the country buckle in and attempt to white-knuckle their way through the day, living and dying on the decisions made by hundreds of elite 18-year-old athletes. For better or worse, […]
A 2020 recruiting class that was headlined by a trio of five-star signees in Noah Sewell, Justin Flowe, and Dontae Manning gives way to a 2021 cycle that will look to be replicated – or perhaps even improved upon – by Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and his slightly new-look coaching staff. Gone from last […]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mario Cristobal has done did it again. A year after inking the highest-rated prospect in program history in five-star recruit Kayvon Thibodeaux, the Ducks’ second year head coach went back into Southern California and pried another five-star prospect from the clutches of USC; a player who officially goes down as the second […]
For the first time since 2014, the Oregon Ducks are winners of 10 regular season games and are now 14-1 inside Autzen Stadium under the direction of head coach Mario Cristobal following Saturday’s 24-10 win over Oregon State.

March 7 marks the beginning of spring football for the Ducks, and similar to last year, the Ducks will have […]
There was no game on Oregon’s schedule Saturday, but there’s no doubting the fact the Ducks scored a major victory that could have a resounding impact for the football program for years to come. Before a national television audience during halftime of the New Mexico Bowl on ESPN, Thousand Oaks (Calif.) Oaks Christian five-star defensive […]
It cannot be stated often enough: There are few things on this earth more inexact and deceiving than recruiting rankings. Yes, there is a correlation between a school’s recruiting ranking at the end of a given cycle and their capacity to ultimately compete for a national championship.
