Every fall is proof that football season is an absolute sprint compared to sports such as basketball, baseball, hockey, and soccer. Serving as testament to that fact is the cold, hard truth that this Saturday marks the final true road test of the season for the Oregon Ducks, who rank sixth in the latest College […]
As much as things are different for the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks this season compared to last season, it’s hard to ignore the strange similarities when comparing the build up to this Saturday’s game vs. Washington State and the build up to last year’s game against the Cougars. That may be an unsettling thought for some […]
The game was rainy, sloppy, and ultimately uncompetitive, but it was exactly the kind of showing Oregon needed to close out the 2018 regular season. A first half injury to quarterback Justin Herbert and quarter-long suspension to wide receiver Dillon Mitchell aside, the Ducks’ 55-15 win over Oregon State Friday afternoon undoubtedly served as the […]
“Quest for Eight” might not have a sexy ring to it, but it should be the prevailing thought inside the Oregon locker room this week as they seek their eighth win of the regular season on road in Corvallis versus Oregon State this Friday. On paper, the Civil War matchup with the Beavers is skewed […]
The speed in which the college football season flies by never ceases to amaze.

Though those frustrating bouts of inconsistency were on front and center display once again Saturday night inside […]
By any measure, the second half of the season has not gone according to plan for Oregon. Yet, Saturday night’s game versus Arizona State is the perfect opportunity for the Ducks to exorcise some demons that have taken hold over the past month. The fact it’s the final home game of the season adds a […]
The final home game of the year is upon us, as Saturday night’s game inside Autzen Stadium will be the last time nine scholarship seniors will take the field wearing an Oregon uniform. If you’ve been following along this year, you know full well it’s been a season of ups and down for the Ducks. […]
Excluding a yet to be determined bowl game, two games remain in what has proven to be a tale of two seasons for the Ducks in 2018. An impressive 5-1 start out of the gate – headlined by a heart-stopping 30-27 overtime win over Washington – has quickly turned sour of late, as Oregon has […]
