As far as starting debuts go, there was plenty to be encouraged with when considering Tyler Shough’s overall performance this past Saturday vs. Stanford. The redshirt sophomore quarterback flashed great touch and accuracy on downfield throws, he exhibited poise and confidence in the aftermath of mistakes, and perhaps most notably, he demonstrated better-than-anticipated quickness and […]
In a year in which very little has seemingly gone right or according to plan, Saturday offered up a slice of normalcy for those yearning for it as 2020 mercifully comes to a close. For fans of Oregon football, Saturday marked the beginning of a new era; one that featured a number of familiar faces, […]
Ask any college football fan, “What is the worst part about college football?” A likely answer you’ll receive is that the seasons feel too short, while the offseasons feel painstakingly long. In 2020, that gripe rings especially true for fans of college football programs in the Pac-12 footprint. The wait for the start of the […]
Game week has finally arrived for the Oregon football program and the rest of the Pac-12 Conference, as this coming Saturday will be the first opportunity for those outside the confines of the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex to get a socially-distanced look at the 2020 edition of Duck football.

Roughly 72 hours later, and the minds of Oregon fans everywhere continue to linger on last Saturday and what might have been had the Ducks held on to a 21-6 lead with just over four minutes remaining in the third quarter.

There are tough losses, and then there are losses that absolutely gnaw at every fiber of your being. On Saturday night in Arlington, Texas, the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks experienced the latter in stunning and agonizing fashion, falling to 16th-ranked Auburn, 27-21. For 59 minutes and 51 seconds of game action, the Ducks never trailed. That […]
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 […]
As the hoopla surrounding Oregon’s win over Washington begins to subside, I’ve found myself coming back to a place best described as random, yet oddly poetic – at least through my weird prism. As strange as it sounds, my mind wanders to The Wire, the critically-acclaimed HBO television show that last aired to cable subscribers over […]
The game lived up to the hype. For only the sixth time in 111 bitter meetings, the 17th-ranked Ducks and 7th-ranked Huskies collided as ranked rivals on what was a picture perfect afternoon in the Willamette Valley. With Oregon seeking its first win over a top 10 team since the 2015 Rose Bowl versus Florida […]
One of the most anticipated weekends of the college football calendar is fast approaching for Duck fans. After all, it’s Washington week, and though the annual tilt between the Ducks and Huskies never fails to deliver when it comes to stoking the flames between the respective fan bases, this year’s matchup has a distinctly different […]
