The speed in which the college football season flies by never ceases to amaze. It feels like it was only yesterday that we were previewing the season, armed with questions surrounding what the 2018 edition of Oregon football would look like under first-year head coach Mario Cristobal. With only days to go before the final […]
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. Though those frustrating bouts of inconsistency were on front and center display once again Saturday night inside […]
By any measure, the second half of the season has not gone according to plan for Oregon. Yet, Saturday night’s game versus Arizona State is the perfect opportunity for the Ducks to exorcise some demons that have taken hold over the past month. The fact it’s the final home game of the season adds a […]
The final home game of the year is upon us, as Saturday night’s game inside Autzen Stadium will be the last time nine scholarship seniors will take the field wearing an Oregon uniform. If you’ve been following along this year, you know full well it’s been a season of ups and down for the Ducks. […]
Excluding a yet to be determined bowl game, two games remain in what has proven to be a tale of two seasons for the Ducks in 2018. An impressive 5-1 start out of the gate – headlined by a heart-stopping 30-27 overtime win over Washington – has quickly turned sour of late, as Oregon has […]

There’s no two ways about it. Oregon’s 32-25 loss to Utah Saturday evening in Salt Lake City is going to be a game that sticks. Similar to road losses to Washington State and Arizona, the Ducks got off to a slow start which found them in a 13-0 hole early. However, Oregon hung around, cobbling […]
Strange as it may seem, only three weeks remain in the regular season. For Oregon, it’s been a year where excitement and anguish have taken up residence as next door neighbors. Thrilling peaks for this team have often been followed by agonizing valleys, as consistency has been fleeting not just game to game, but at […]
After notching a much needed win in their return to the friendly confines of Autzen Stadium this past Saturday, the Ducks will head back out on the road this week to play their third game away from home in the last four weeks. On deck for Oregon this Saturday is Utah, who for the time […]
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, […]
