As with just about any observation that gets made after witnessing only two weeks of actual real-life football, it must be taken with a grain of salt. But if you’re a member of the Oregon football program or a person who has closely followed the team as a fan or member of the media, it’s […]
Only two days remain before the showdown between the Oregon Ducks and the Auburn Tigers, as the two teams will meet for just the second time ever before a primetime national television audience under the bright lights of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game is the only matchup on the Week 1 slate pitting […]
A new season means a new defensive coordinator for the Ducks heading into the fall. Out is Jim Leavitt, a largely beloved character among fans and current players on the Oregon roster who served as the Ducks’ defensive coordinator for two seasons, helping turn a downtrodden defense into a respectable unit before he and the […]
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 9 marks the beginning of spring football for the Ducks, and similar to last year, the Ducks will have […]

What felt seemingly inevitable months ago became official Thursday.

Following a stretch of days last week that saw wide receiver Dillon Mitchell declare for the NFL Draft and up-and-coming defensive assistant […]
Signing Day has arrived bearing fruit for the Ducks, particularly on defense, as Moorpark (Calif.) Moorpark College linebacker Dru Mathis joins ten other Oregon commitments on that side of the ball. IM A DUCK! 💚💛🦆🐥 pic.twitter.com/gLhCsfmQkm — Reece Dru Mathis the Vth (@DruMathis22) December 19, 2018 With the Ducks looking to add another name to their […]

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.
