With no game on the schedule this week for the Ducks, there is no better time than now to take a moment to reflect on what we’ve seen from Mario Cristobal’s bunch through five weeks of action. As part of our “Bye Week Brush-Up” series this week, WFOD will be taking a closer look at […]
There’s no getting around the disappointment that hit like a ton of bricks at conclusion of Saturday night’s game, nor is there any avoiding the fading sting that still lingers days after the Ducks fell 38-31 to Stanford in a game that unraveled in stunning fashion for Oregon down the final stretch. We’ve covered what […]
How do you make sense of the nonsensical? How do you explain that which is inexplicable? These are the questions we’re left to ponder in the aftermath of Oregon’s emotionally gutting 38-31 loss to Stanford on a day and a night that was unfolding to perfection for the 20th-ranked Ducks – until it wasn’t. All […]
It’s not often that there are many nits to pick following a 58-24 victory, but for Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and the Ducks, there will be plenty to chew on, digest, and ultimately remedy once preparations for next Saturday’s game versus Portland State begin.

There are commitments you see coming from a country mile, and then there are commitments that smack you right upside the head. The verbal commitment the Ducks received Tuesday night from Auburn (Calif.) Placer three-star offensive lineman Joey Capra definitely qualifies as the latter. Formerly a verbal commit to Arizona State, Capra – the younger […]
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. Wednesday marks the continuation of […]
Following a 2017 campaign that began with great promise and excitement accompanying Willie Taggart’s arrival, and ended with great uncertainty and angst following his hasty departure for Florida State, the Oregon football program finds itself in an oddly familiar place as it enters the 2018 season.
