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 […]
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. […]
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. Last week, four-star recruits Jared Casey and Jeremiah Criddell announced their de-commitments from the Ducks’ 2019 recruiting class, ultimately dropping Oregon’s class from fourth to seventh in 247Sports’ Composite Team Rankings.

This was proved Saturday night, as […]
The anticipation in the air can only mean one thing: The onset of fall camp is upon us! August 3 is the date circled on the calendars of Duck fans near and far, as that is the day fall camp officially opens at the University of Oregon. The month of practices that follow will not […]
Behold! Football season is nigh! Believe it or not, mere weeks separate us between now and the start of fall camp for the Oregon Ducks. As preseason camp fast approaches, we at WFOD will be rolling out a series of previews to help fully prepare you for the upcoming season. Wednesday marks the continuation of […]
Following a 2017 campaign that began with great promise and excitement accompanying Willie Taggart’s arrival, and ended with great uncertainty and angst following his hasty departure for Florida State, the Oregon football program finds itself in an oddly familiar place as it enters the 2018 season. Like Taggart, head coach Mario Cristobal approaches the upcoming […]
To say Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal is placing an emphasis on the trenches would be a gross oversimplification of what’s actually taking place. No, what Cristobal is building is an awe-inspring human citadel; stockpiling offensive linemen like a doomsday prepper does non-perishable food items.
