Going as far back as before the 2018 season, many have wondered (ourselves included) who would step up and assume the title of “lead back” in the Oregon offense in a post-Royce Freeman world. Tony Brooks-James was initially perceived to be the heir apparent to the record-setting Freeman, but as the season got underway, that […]
For a full decade (plus a year) spanning either parts or the entire tenures of three head coaches (Mike Bellotti, Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich), the Oregon Ducks ruled the roost when it came who led the Pac-10/12 in rushing offense. In fact, from 2006 to 2016, the Ducks not only led the conference in rushing […]
The dog days of summer have arrived. And while there’s little cause for celebration during this portion of the calendar, there is good news to report: WFOD’s 2019 Fall Camp Preview has arrived as well! As fall camp fast approaches, WFOD will be rolling out an in-depth series of position-by-position previews to help you fully […]
Last year was the first time in a long time that there was true uncertainty for the Ducks at the running back position. In fact, prior to last season, it had been 15 years since Oregon entered an upcoming season with a major question mark at running back, as the Ducks enjoyed a run of […]
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 […]
The final home game of the year is upon us, as Saturday night’s game inside Autzen Stadium will be the last time nine scholarship seniors will take the field wearing an Oregon uniform. If you’ve been following along this year, you know full well it’s been a season of ups and down for the Ducks. […]
It’s not particularly sexy and it won’t be something that catches fire with the Oregon fan base anytime soon, but the “drive for nine” – as in nine regular season wins – is on, and it’s a goal that the 2018 edition of Duck football should be pursuing with fervor. Three to four weeks ago, […]
The return of Chip Kelly came and went without too much drama Saturday evening, as the Ducks rolled to a 42-21 victory over the Bruins in the former Oregon head coach’s first trip back to Autzen Stadium since leaving the program for the NFL at the conclusion of the 2012 season. Though UCLA is far […]
With no game on the schedule this week for the Ducks, there is no better time than now to take a moment to reflect on what we’ve seen from Mario Cristobal’s bunch through five weeks of action. As part of our “Bye Week Brush-Up” series this week, WFOD will be taking a closer look at […]
