We have come to the end of the road. This isn’t a Boyz II Men appreciation post, but it does feel like a fitting way to summarize the end of the 2020 season. With Saturday’s Fiesta Bowl serving as an opportunity for both Oregon and Iowa State to put an exclamation point on their respective […]
Make no bones about it, some serious chickens came home to roost for the 2020 Oregon Ducks on a foggy Black Friday night in Corvallis. A sieve-like defense and some critical errors from Tyler Shough on offense served as the prevailing reasons for why the Ducks were handed only their second loss to Oregon State […]
It’s the dawn of a new era in the rivalry game between Oregon and Oregon State. Dating back to 1894, there have been 123 meetings between the Ducks and Beavers in the game formerly known as the “Civil War.” That name, however, will no longer be used moving forward in association with the annual renewal […]
For the first time since 2014, the Oregon Ducks are winners of 10 regular season games and are now 14-1 inside Autzen Stadium under the direction of head coach Mario Cristobal following Saturday’s 24-10 win over Oregon State.

For the Ducks, who have tumbled to 14th in the latest College Football Playoff Top […]
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 […]
Civil War week has officially arrived. While the week may be a day shorter than normal this year, the rivalry itself is no less intense and no less meaningful for the fan bases that pledge their undying support for either the University of Oregon or Oregon State University. The annual renewal of this historic rivalry […]
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, […]
