It feels almost incomprehensible considering the start of the February signing period was just a few short weeks ago, but ready or not, the unofficial start of the 2019 season is right around the corner. March 7 marks the beginning of spring football for the Ducks, and similar to last year, the Ducks will have […]
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 […]
Poof! Just like that, the end of the 2018 season is nigh for the Oregon Ducks. Mario Cristobal’s first full season on the job as Ducks head coach has to generally be considered a success considering the program’s Herculean efforts on the recruiting trail, along with a landmark win over bitter rival and no. 7-ranked […]
A season that has provided both thrilling highs and crushing lows is reaching its final chapter. The Redbox Bowl showdown between the Oregon Ducks and the Michigan State Spartans inside Levi’s Stadium on Monday afternoon has the makings of a game that could stand to shape narratives both this season and for seasons to come. […]
Bowl games are often viewed as glorified exhibition games. The proverbial cherry atop the ice cream sundae, if you will, particularly as it relates to the games that fall outside the New Year’s Six.

For the second straight week on back-to-back Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the Oregon football team has suffered a departure or defection from the program.

This […]
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 […]
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), […]
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.
