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 […]
Coming off a wild weekend that saw the Oregon football program demonstrate the full might of their recruiting prowess, the momentum has continued into the week, as the Ducks picked up a commitment from Deerfield Beach (Fla.) three-star defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus at the start of the early signing period Wednesday. BOOM!!! LETS WELCOME BRANDON DORLUS TO […]
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 […]
Very little has come easy for the Ducks in 2018, as bouts of inconsistency have been about the only consistent thing seen from this team as they’ve navigated what has turned out to be a tricky Pac-12 schedule.

The anticipation in the air can only mean one thing: The onset of fall camp is upon us! August 3 is the date circled on the calendars of Duck fans near and far, as that is the day fall camp officially opens at the University of Oregon. The month of practices that follow will not […]
Behold! Football season is nigh! Believe it or not, mere weeks separate us between now and the start of fall camp for the Oregon Ducks. As preseason camp fast approaches, we at WFOD will be rolling out a series of previews to help fully prepare you for the upcoming season. Thursday marks the continuation of […]
Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt is a damn miracle worker. In his first year directing the Duck defense, Leavitt not only drastically improved their performance in traditional statistical categories such as total defense (surrendering 518.4 yards/game in 2016 to 369.2 yards/game in 2017) and yards allowed per play (6.41 in ’16 to 5.07 in ’17), […]
