Months of speculation surrounding who may or may not start for Oregon when they tee things up for real on September 1 vs. Bowling Green is finally over. On Monday, Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal made available the official depth chart (reflected here) for Saturday’s season opener, giving us a crystallized glimpse at the players […]
In football, injuries are as inevitable as death and taxes. Attrition affects every team. Ask any coach, any player, anyone who closely covers or watches the game, quality depth throughout your roster is critical to sustained success – over the course of a season, over the course of a coaching tenure. For Oregon, the 2016 […]
Fall camp is in its final stretch, meaning the agonizing offseason wait for football is in its final throes. Believe it or not, only 11 days separate us from Oregon’s season opener vs. Bowling Green on September 1, and HOO BOY are we ready for kickoff. As we grit our teeth and power through these […]
They say honesty is the policy, and in the spirit of that practice, there’s something we’d like to cop to: We may have undersold and overlooked the potential contributions of one Brenden Schooler in 2018.

From the time he announced his verbal commitment on January 26, to this present moment, Jalen Hall has remained as perhaps the biggest enigma surrounding the Oregon football program as the 2018 season peaks out over the horizon. Standing 6-foot-4 and 192 pounds, Hall has all the physical traits you could ever want in a […]
During his tenure at Oregon, former head coach Mike Bellotti coined what became a relatively popular refrain when it came to imploring members of the Ducks’ special teams units. “SPECIAL TEAMS: BE SPECIAL!” However, beyond kicker Aidan Schneider, who graduated as one of the best kickers in school history at the end of last season, […]
