It’s not particularly sexy and it won’t be something that catches fire with the Oregon fan base anytime soon, but the “drive for nine” – as in nine regular season wins – is on, and it’s a goal that the 2018 edition of Duck football should be pursuing with fervor. Three to four weeks ago, […]
As the hoopla surrounding Oregon’s win over Washington begins to subside, I’ve found myself coming back to a place best described as random, yet oddly poetic – at least through my weird prism.
