With five games down and seven more to go, the 18th-ranked Oregon Ducks will get an opportunity this week to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess the progress they’ve made through the early portion of their schedule. Sporting an imperfect 4-1 record, optimism around the program is understandably high heading into […]
Nearly a week of stewing and second guessing has passed since Oregon’s deflating loss versus Stanford, but if we’re being honest, there are still those fleeting moments of frustration that come rushing back, reminding you of what could have been. It’s a natural way to process stinging defeat, though with roughly a day to go […]
A new week brings new challenges for the 19th-ranked Ducks, as Saturday night’s game at no. 24 Cal marks the first time this season that Oregon has traveled on the road to face an opponent.

An offseason of hope, hard work, preparation, and anticipation has been building towards this red letter weekend for the 20th-ranked Oregon Ducks, culminating Saturday evening when the Ducks take on the 7th-ranked Stanford Cardinal inside Autzen Stadium. This is where the strength of the Oregon […]
