Occupying a very small corner within one of the wildest years in modern human history has been a college football offseason and now season that has appropriately reflected our current day and age. The twists and turns have been numerous and well documented over the past several months, as COVID-19 continues to hang like an […]
Through rainy conditions and stiff winds, the Oregon Ducks are your 2019 Pac-12 Champions. Indeed, the wet weather accompanying Friday’s Pac-12 Championship title tilt couldn’t come close to dampening the mood of Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and his team in the aftermath of the Ducks’ 37-15 win over the 5th-ranked Utah Utes. After receiving not […]
For a full decade (plus a year) spanning either parts or the entire tenures of three head coaches (Mike Bellotti, Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich), the Oregon Ducks ruled the roost when it came who led the Pac-10/12 in rushing offense. In fact, from 2006 to 2016, the Ducks not only led the conference in rushing […]

Forgive fans and those who cover the team for looking ahead, but after watching Oregon dispose of two – and likely soon to be three following Saturday’s game versus San Jose State – overmatched opponents in convincing fashion in consecutive weeks, the countdown to the Ducks’ Pac-12 opener versus Stanford is unofficially on. At this […]
Fresh off a 58-24 win over Bowling Green in their season opener this past Saturday, the Ducks are 1-0 as they turn the page to the second game of their three-game non-conference tune-up schedule which summons FCS and Big Sky Conference opponent Portland State to Eugene this upcoming weekend. Similar to Bowling Green, the Vikings […]
Behold! Football season is nigh! Believe it or not, mere weeks separate us between now and the start of fall camp for the Oregon Ducks. As preseason camp fast approaches, we at WFOD will be rolling out a series of previews to help fully prepare you for the upcoming season. Sunday marks the continuation of […]
