By virtually all accounts, the 2018 campaign – Oregon’s first under head coach Mario Cristobal – counts as a success. The Ducks not only finished the year with their first nine-win season and first victory over rival Washington since 2015, but they also secured their first bowl victory and first win over a top 10 […]
It may not be the quarterback commitment that fans of Oregon football were originally hoping for (see DJ Uiagalelei), but it’s a quarterback commitment that should be met with open celebration from Duck fans nevertheless. That’s because Friday, Brentwood (Calif.) Liberty four-star quarterback Jay Butterfield announced his verbal commitment to the University of Oregon, giving […]
Flock Thoughts is a sporadic series at WFOD that aims to offer opinion and analysis on a collection of newsworthy items surrounding the Oregon football program that don’t necessarily warrant their own in-depth piece. Think of it as going to Costco for the samples, but just replace the nice ladies in hairnets and plastic gloves […]
After securing its first bowl victory since 2015, in addition to its first nine-win season since the same calendar year, the Oregon football program was hit with a sobering dose of reality just two days into 2019. On Wednesday, Ducks junior wide receiver Dillon Mitchell announced he would be foregoing his senior season at Oregon […]
Despite the game being played under picture perfect Bay Area skies Monday afternoon, the play on the field inside Levi’s Stadium was anything but picturesque.

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
With five games down and seven more to go, the 18th-ranked Oregon Ducks will get an opportunity this week to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess the progress they’ve made through the early portion of their schedule. Sporting an imperfect 4-1 record, optimism around the program is understandably high heading into […]
With the stunning outcome of the Stanford game officially in the rear-view mirror, attention for the Ducks has now turned to Saturday’s opponent in no. 24 Cal, a team riding high at 3-0 following two notable hard fought victories over North Carolina and BYU and a third over FCS opponent Idaho State. Similar to the […]
