Two-plus years had passed since the last time the Oregon football program held a spring football game, and while fans were not permitted inside Autzen Stadium Saturday afternoon due to local COVID-19 restrictions, it felt as if we were one step closer to returning to normalcy following a year that was wholly upended by the […]
Few things in recent memory were as protractedly loathsome across the board as 2020. And while the residuals of the past year linger to this day with COVID protocols remaining in place for most areas of the country, this spring offers a level of hope and optimism that simply did not exist at this time […]
The best way to ensure success in the game of football is by securing your future at quarterback, and over the past several years, Duck fans have been spoiled with the kind of quality play at quarterback that has served as a catalyst for some of the most memorable moments in program history. On Monday, […]
Somewhat unexpectedly, for a second consecutive season, the Oregon Ducks will have a new starting quarterback entering the fall. Though there was already sufficient intrigue surrounding the quarterback position in Eugene following an up and down 2020 season with Tyler Shough at the helm, even more mystery was added to the equation with spring practices […]
After adding four-star running back Byron Cardwell to its 2021 recruiting class roughly a week and a half ago, Oregon and head coach Mario Cristobal were at it again on the first day of the February signing period Wednesday, adding another four-star prospect to their ranks in the form of Omaha (Neb.)

From May 1 to the present day, Cristobal and company have set a remarkable […]
Who says nothing grows in the desert? Certainly not Mario Cristobal, who is finding the Desert Southwest – and in particular, the state of Arizona – to be especially fertile recruiting territory for the Ducks during the 2021 recruiting cycle. With prospects such as four-star quarterback Ty Thompson and four-star offensive linemen Bram Walden and […]
There’s no doubt that these are strange times we’re living in.
