For many Duck fans, last Saturday’s spring game was supposed to be an event that yielded a head-spinning number of commitments over the course of the weekend.

In the midst of the excitement and star-gazing that took place in the hours that followed the announcement that five-star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux would be taking his talents to Eugene next season, there was also news of a departure from the Ducks’ 2019 recruiting class. After committing to Oregon in late July, Yuma (Ariz.) […]
With three non-Power 5 teams on Oregon’s non-conference schedule (including one FCS opponent in Portland State), compiling a list of keys to victory over the next few weeks for the Ducks may seem like a fruitless effort.

For Oregon, the 2016 […]

Believe it or not, only nine 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 final days, […]
Kermit said it best – it’s not easy being green. It’s particularly true if you’re less than four months removed from high school and are expected to step in immediately to provide much needed depth at one of the most critical positions in all of football. Yet, for Oregon true freshmen Verone McKinley and Kahlef […]
