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 […]
Spin it or slice it any way you want – through three weeks of play, the Oregon defense in 2020 has performed as if it’s a sheep in wolves clothing compared to the stout and stingy group the Ducks employed a season ago. Perhaps more than most of us realized or attributed proper credit to, […]
With two weeks down and at least four more weeks to go (hopefully), the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks return to Eugene this weekend for a date with nostalgia in the form of UCLA head coach Chip Kelly and the Bruins. Of course, no Duck fan needs a reminder when it comes to the tremendous levels of […]
Game week has finally arrived for the Oregon football program and the rest of the Pac-12 Conference, as this coming Saturday will be the first opportunity for those outside the confines of the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex to get a socially-distanced look at the 2020 edition of Duck football.

Players enter the program, leave the program, or make personal decisions to stick with the program. Nothing is certain except for change, which also makes this […]
The season may be over for the newly minted Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champion Oregon Ducks, but the momentum surrounding this team has only seemed to increase since the Ducks left Pasadena with a shiny new trophy and a 28-27 win over Wisconsin in tow. Head coach Mario Cristobal and his team not only returned […]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mario Cristobal has done did it again.
