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 […]
Forget the past the three weeks. The season starts now. An offseason of hope, hard work, preparation, and anticipation has been building towards this red letter weekend for the 20th-ranked Oregon Ducks, culminating Saturday evening when the Ducks take on the 7th-ranked Stanford Cardinal inside Autzen Stadium. This is where the strength of the Oregon […]
It was right around this time last week that we sat down and considered the biggest questions for the Ducks heading into their final non-conference game against the hapless San Jose State Spartans. With victory for Oregon all but sealed away, we wondered who might earn the start at wide receiver between Johnny Johnson and […]
Following a decidedly flat performance in their 35-22 victory over San Jose State last Saturday (the third and final game for the Ducks against Charmin soft non-conference competition this season), Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal was asked if he felt his team was ready to take on 7th-ranked Stanford this Saturday inside Autzen Stadium. “I […]
There’s good news and bad news for Oregon coming out Saturday’s game versus San Jose State. The good news: the Ducks got the win and seemed to stay relatively injury-free, moving to 3-0 following their 35-22 victory over the Spartans inside Autzen Stadium. The bad news: it was undeniably Oregon’s worst performance of the young […]
Not unlike last week’s matchup versus Portland State, it will likely take an act of God in order to disrupt any plans the Ducks have as it relates to winning Saturday afternoon’s game versus San Jose State. The Spartans come to Eugene sporting an 0-2 record after being handed defeats from UC Davis (a five-win […]
With two glorified dress rehearsals down, there’s just one more to go for the Oregon Ducks before Pac-12 Conference play begins in earnest on September 22 versus Stanford. However, before the Ducks’ date with the Cardinal, they will play host to San Jose State this Saturday, giving Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and his team […]
A week after a sloppy 58-24 win in their season opener versus Bowling Green, the Oregon Ducks put together a far cleaner overall performance – albeit against a far inferior opponent – in Saturday’s 62-14 victory over Portland State. Offensively, it was a balanced attack for the Ducks, as Oregon piled up 562 yards of […]
Truth be told, aside from a plague of locusts or a team-wide case of bubble guts, there’s not a whole heck of a lot that stands in the way of Oregon moving to 2-0 following Saturday’s late morning/early afternoon tilt versus FCS opponent Portland State. And if you think we’re being crass or insensitive towards […]
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. In short, Oregon’s 34-point win in their season opener versus […]
