A 2020 recruiting class that was headlined by a trio of five-star signees in Noah Sewell, Justin Flowe, and Dontae Manning gives way to a 2021 cycle that will look to be replicated – or perhaps even improved upon – by Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and his slightly new-look coaching staff. Gone from last […]
The book is closed on the 2019 season, and what a season it was for the Oregon Ducks, who capped off a true golden decade for the program by notching a fourth conference title and third Rose Bowl victory during that span. It’s the end of undoubtedly the most turbulent chapter in the modern history […]
A little over a month has transpired since now former offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo was officially named the head coach at UNLV. In that time, the Oregon football program has inked a star-studded recruiting class headlined by a pair of five-star prospects, won a Rose Bowl, and received thrilling news that a quartet of juniors […]
The season may be over for the newly minted Pac-12 and Rose Bowl champion Oregon Ducks, but the momentum surrounding this team has only seemed to increase since the Ducks left Pasadena with a shiny new trophy and a 28-27 win over Wisconsin in tow. Head coach Mario Cristobal and his team not only returned […]
The symmetry surrounding Oregon’s appearance in the 106th edition of the Rose Bowl Game was impossible to ignore.

Flock Thoughts is a sporadic series at WFOD that aims to offer opinion and analysis on a collection of timely, newsworthy items surrounding the Oregon football program.

The pomp and circumstance surrounding Friday’s Pac-12 Championship Game pitting no. 13 Oregon and no. 5 Utah has undoubtedly lost some of its luster these past few weeks. The fault of which falls squarely on the shoulders of the Ducks, who stumbled two weeks ago vs. Arizona State in Tempe before trudging their way to an […]
Following a week in which there was very little palpable drama in the days leading up to Saturday’s game between 6th-ranked Oregon and Arizona, the game itself accurately reflected those vibes to a T. Motivated by last year’s 44-15 walloping in Tucson at the hands of the Wildcats, the Ducks wasted no time jumping out […]
With the final bye week of the season in the books, there’s little reason to believe that the 6th-ranked Oregon Ducks won’t be well-rested and fully restored, both physically and mentally, as they embark on a critical three-game stretch to close out the regular season. The first step in that journey begins Saturday night inside […]
