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, […]
In terms of what remains on the schedule for the 12th-ranked Oregon Ducks, Saturday afternoon’s showdown in Pullman versus Washington State is as pivotal a game as there is between now and the end of the season. This game, for both teams, represents an opportunity to assume even greater control over the race for the […]
Is it Saturday yet?! The slow march to kickoff is nearly over, as we’re only a day away between now and when the no. 17 Ducks and no. 7 Huskies clash inside Autzen Stadium for the 111th time in the series’ storied history.

All […]

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 […]
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.
