Civil War week is well underway, and as those outside the Oregon football program take time to indulge the rivalry in between snacking on Thanksgiving leftovers, those inside the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex are fine tuning a game plan they hope delivers a much different result than the Ducks got last week in Tempe. With a seemingly […]
As is often the case following a defeat, Oregon’s performance last Saturday at Arizona State left more questions than answers in the aftermath of their upset loss to the Sun Devils. Who body snatched Justin Herbert? What happened to the Oregon secondary? Were the Ducks caught looking ahead? These were the thoughts on the minds […]
Coming off a stinging loss in which the ultimate dream for your team has been effectively crushed, it is human nature to linger on what could have been and lose sight of the bigger picture and other achievable, worthwhile goals.
