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 […]
To paraphrase an old adage, “Sometimes you’ve got to get worse before you get better.” Plenty of first-year head coaches across the country are experiencing that first hand this season. For proof, look no further than the three first-year head coaches with former ties to Oregon. UCLA’s Chip Kelly (2-8 overall), Nebraska’s Scott Frost (3-7), […]
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 […]
Linebacker has been a position of strength for the Ducks both on the field during the 2018 season and on the recruiting trail for the 2019 recruiting cycle, as Oregon entered the day with four verbal commitments from highly-touted prospects. On Thursday, the Ducks added a fifth member to that group in the form of […]
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 […]
Following a decidedly flat performance in their 35-22 victory over San Jose State last Saturday (the third and final game for the Ducks against Charmin soft non-conference competition this season), Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal was asked if he felt his team was ready to take on 7th-ranked Stanford this Saturday inside Autzen Stadium. “I […]
Forgive fans and those who cover the team for looking ahead, but after watching Oregon dispose of two – and likely soon to be three following Saturday’s game versus San Jose State – overmatched opponents in convincing fashion in consecutive weeks, the countdown to the Ducks’ Pac-12 opener versus Stanford is unofficially on. At this […]
Fresh off a 58-24 win over Bowling Green in their season opener this past Saturday, the Ducks are 1-0 as they turn the page to the second game of their three-game non-conference tune-up schedule which summons FCS and Big Sky Conference opponent Portland State to Eugene this upcoming weekend. Similar to Bowling Green, the Vikings […]
It’s not often that there are many nits to pick following a 58-24 victory, but for Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and the Ducks, there will be plenty to chew on, digest, and ultimately remedy once preparations for next Saturday’s game versus Portland State begin. In short, Oregon’s 34-point win in their season opener versus […]
