Another day, another de-commitment. On the heels of Tuesday’s news that Louisville (Ky.) Ballard four-star linebacker Jared Casey backed away from his verbal commitment to Oregon, the Ducks received another hit to their 2019 recruiting class Wednesday when Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star defensive back Jeremiah Criddell also announced his de-commitment from Oregon. God […]
The game was rainy, sloppy, and ultimately uncompetitive, but it was exactly the kind of showing Oregon needed to close out the 2018 regular season. A first half injury to quarterback Justin Herbert and quarter-long suspension to wide receiver Dillon Mitchell aside, the Ducks’ 55-15 win over Oregon State Friday afternoon undoubtedly served as the […]
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 […]
Civil War week has officially arrived. While the week may be a day shorter than normal this year, the rivalry itself is no less intense and no less meaningful for the fan bases that pledge their undying support for either the University of Oregon or Oregon State University. The annual renewal of this historic rivalry […]
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. […]
Excluding a yet to be determined bowl game, two games remain in what has proven to be a tale of two seasons for the Ducks in 2018. An impressive 5-1 start out of the gate – headlined by a heart-stopping 30-27 overtime win over Washington – has quickly turned sour of late, as Oregon has […]
To paraphrase an old adage, “Sometimes you’ve got to get worse before you get better.” Plenty of first-year head coaches across the country are experiencing that first hand this season. For proof, look no further than the three first-year head coaches with former ties to Oregon. UCLA’s Chip Kelly (2-8 overall), Nebraska’s Scott Frost (3-7), […]
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 Oregon’s hopes of contending for a Pac-12 Championship this season effectively dashed, it’s difficult to peg any game from this point forward as “must win.” However, in examining the ways in which Oregon has been defeated the past two weeks, it is officially gut check time for head coach Mario Cristobal’s charges. In this […]
Even before preparation began this week for Saturday’s game versus UCLA, it was clear that Oregon’s season had reached a crossroads in the moments following their dud of a performance last week at Arizona. With injuries to key players beginning to mount and challenge the Ducks’ already suspect depth, that notion has gained even more […]
