The game was rainy, sloppy, and ultimately uncompetitive, but it was exactly the kind of showing Oregon needed to close out the 2018 regular season. A first half injury to quarterback Justin Herbert and quarter-long suspension to wide receiver Dillon Mitchell aside, the Ducks’ 55-15 win over Oregon State Friday afternoon undoubtedly served as the […]
Very little has come easy for the Ducks in 2018, as bouts of inconsistency have been about the only consistent thing seen from this team as they’ve navigated what has turned out to be a tricky Pac-12 schedule. Though those frustrating bouts of inconsistency were on front and center display once again Saturday night inside […]
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. […]
With Oregon’s hopes of contending for a Pac-12 Championship this season effectively dashed, it’s difficult to peg any game from this point forward as “must win.” However, in examining the ways in which Oregon has been defeated the past two weeks, it is officially gut check time for head coach Mario Cristobal’s charges. In this […]
After knocking off preseason Pac-12 favorite Washington a week ago, a major question entering the week asked how would Oregon handle the role reversal would have them playing the role of “hunted” opposed “hunter” entering Saturday’s game in Pullman versus no. 25 Washington State. The answer now, it seems, is “not well,” as the 12th-ranked […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It’s been nearly two years since the Ducks picked up their last Pac-12 road victory. That drought is now officially over, as no. 19 Oregon cruised to a 42-24 win over no. 24 Cal Saturday night in Berkeley to move to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in conference play. Coming off last week’s heartbreaking loss to […]
It was right around this time last week that we sat down and considered the biggest questions for the Ducks heading into their final non-conference game against the hapless San Jose State Spartans. With victory for Oregon all but sealed away, we wondered who might earn the start at wide receiver between Johnny Johnson and […]
