No matter the season, victories in the game of football are to be savored and not taken for granted. Particularly amidst a pandemic, when the potential to have your season derailed is ever-present and every green-lit Saturday feels like a gift. For Mario Cristobal and the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks, Saturday’s narrow 38-35 win over the […]
With two weeks down and at least four more weeks to go (hopefully), the 11th-ranked Oregon Ducks return to Eugene this weekend for a date with nostalgia in the form of UCLA head coach Chip Kelly and the Bruins. Of course, no Duck fan needs a reminder when it comes to the tremendous levels of […]
Signing Day has arrived bearing fruit for the Ducks, particularly on defense, as Moorpark (Calif.) Moorpark College linebacker Dru Mathis joins ten other Oregon commitments on that side of the ball.

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 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 […]
Even before preparation began this week for Saturday’s game versus UCLA, it was clear that Oregon’s season had reached a crossroads in the moments following their dud of a performance last week at Arizona. With injuries to key players beginning to mount and challenge the Ducks’ already suspect depth, that notion has gained even more […]
The prevailing storyline entering Saturday’s game between the Ducks and Bruins is obvious: UCLA head coach Chip Kelly returns to Eugene for the first time to face the program he helped elevate to highest levels of college football. It’s a day that has been highly anticipated for Duck fans everywhere, but particularly by those who […]
What a difference a matter of weeks can make. It was only 17 days ago that the Oregon football program was riding a wave of momentum that was as high as it had been in four years. The Ducks were not only fresh off a win over a top 10 opponent in Washington, but the […]
Fall camp is in its final stretch, meaning the agonizing offseason wait for football is in its final throes. Believe it or not, only 11 days separate us from Oregon’s season opener vs. Bowling Green on September 1, and HOO BOY are we ready for kickoff. As we grit our teeth and power through these […]
