As if there weren’t already enough salt in the wound, Oregon’s injury-plagued August got worse Monday as Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal announced that reserve linebacker Adrian Jackson would miss the entirety of the 2019 season after suffering a foot injury in practice in the build up to the season opener vs. Auburn. The 6-foot-2, […]
The dog days of summer have arrived. And while there’s little cause for celebration during this portion of the calendar, there is good news to report: WFOD’s 2019 Fall Camp Preview has arrived as well! As fall camp fast approaches, WFOD will be rolling out an in-depth series of position-by-position previews to help you fully […]
Just like it was last year, it could be yet another busy June for Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and the Ducks on the recruiting trail. Last year during the month of June, the Ducks picked up six verbal commitments from members of their 2019 recruiting class. This year, they’ve already landed two: the first […]
With the late cycle drama surrounding the signature of four-star wide receiver Puka Nacua now officially put to bed, the time has come to similarly put a bow on Oregon’s 2019 recruiting class – an epic recruiting haul that saw the Ducks finish in the top 10 of the national recruiting rankings for the first […]
Defensive back has been a major need for the Ducks during the 2019 recruiting cycle, particularly in the aftermath of last minute decommitments from Jeremiah Criddell and Elijah Blades prior to the early signing period in December. On Monday, however, the Ducks received some news they had been hoping for, as Morrow (Ga.) three-star safety Jamal […]
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 […]
With no game on the schedule this week for the Ducks, there is no better time than now to take a moment to reflect on what we’ve seen from Mario Cristobal’s bunch through five weeks of action. As part of our “Bye Week Brush-Up” series this week, WFOD will be taking a closer look at […]
In football, injuries are as inevitable as death and taxes. Attrition affects every team. Ask any coach, any player, anyone who closely covers or watches the game, quality depth throughout your roster is critical to sustained success – over the course of a season, over the course of a coaching tenure. For Oregon, the 2016 […]
Following a 2017 season in which the Oregon defense underwent a remarkable, if not inconceivable, 12-month turnaround between end of Mark Helfrich’s tenure and the conclusion of Willie Taggart’s fleeting time in Eugene, expectations are at an all-time high for Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt’s group. In total, the Ducks return 11 players who started […]
