Two-plus years had passed since the last time the Oregon football program held a spring football game, and while fans were not permitted inside Autzen Stadium Saturday afternoon due to local COVID-19 restrictions, it felt as if we were one step closer to returning to normalcy following a year that was wholly upended by the […]
Few things in recent memory were as protractedly loathsome across the board as 2020. And while the residuals of the past year linger to this day with COVID protocols remaining in place for most areas of the country, this spring offers a level of hope and optimism that simply did not exist at this time […]
De-commitments, particularly at this time of the year, are rather commonplace across college football’s recruiting landscape. For the Oregon football program, this natural order of recruiting is perhaps feeling a little more unnatural than usual given the fact they suffered their second de-commitment from their 2021 recruiting class in six days when three-star JUCO prospect […]
Occupying a very small corner within one of the wildest years in modern human history has been a college football offseason and now season that has appropriately reflected our current day and age. The twists and turns have been numerous and well documented over the past several months, as COVID-19 continues to hang like an […]
It wasn’t supposed to play out like this. None of it was supposed to play out like this. In many ways, those words can be a reflection of life, particularly so in 2020. Entering the calendar year, the Ducks and head coach Mario Cristobal were riding high coming off a Pac-12 Championship and a victory […]
Fresh off one of the most epic stretches of recruiting success in program history over the past 10 weeks or so, Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and his Oregon coaching staff deserve to take, at the very least, a momentary breather. From May 1 to the present day, Cristobal and company have set a remarkable […]
Friday is pay day for many people in the work force. In recent weeks, Friday has had a similar feel for Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and the Oregon football program, as the Ducks have been richly compensated in the form of scoring major additions to their rapid ascending 2021 recruiting class. Last Friday, Oregon’s […]
When we look back at the pivotal moments for Mario Cristobal and the Oregon Ducks during the 2021 recruiting cycle, it’s likely that we’ll look at May as the month that shifted their recruiting class into overdrive. On Friday, the Ducks picked up their sixth May commitment with the pledge of Perkinston (Miss.) Mississippi Gulf […]
It’s been practically two full months since the 2019 season ended for the Oregon Ducks; a season that will be long remembered as a year of resurgence for the Oregon football program. A Pac-12 Championship. A Rose Bowl victory. A second consecutive star-studded recruiting class signed, sealed, and all but delivered. Those types of accomplishments […]
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 […]
