The last time the Oregon football program scored a victory in Pullman, the year was 2014 and the Ducks were a team that was marching their way toward the inaugural College Football Playoff led by the sublime talents of a soon-to-be Heisman Trophy winner in Marcus Mariota. Much has changed in the six years that […]
In the era of COVID-19, every week – hell, every day – comes with air of nail-biting anxiety, at least as it relates to whether or not a game will be played as scheduled. For Oregon, they successfully made it through the first week of their shortened season without suffering crippling COVID-related omissions to the […]
As far as starting debuts go, there was plenty to be encouraged with when considering Tyler Shough’s overall performance this past Saturday vs. Stanford. The redshirt sophomore quarterback flashed great touch and accuracy on downfield throws, he exhibited poise and confidence in the aftermath of mistakes, and perhaps most notably, he demonstrated better-than-anticipated quickness and […]
Though it may only be hopeful optimism at this stage as the U.S. continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, Friday’s announcement of a revised conference-only 2020 football schedule by the Pac-12 felt like a step in the right direction in terms of getting football this fall.

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, […]
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 […]
In many respects, Oregon’s performance last Saturday on the road at Washington State was an outlier based on what we’ve seen throughout the season. In the first half against the Cougs, the Ducks appeared unorganized, undisciplined, and unprepared, which played no small part in Oregon’s stunning 27-point deficit heading into halftime; a deficit that ultimately […]
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 […]
In terms of what remains on the schedule for the 12th-ranked Oregon Ducks, Saturday afternoon’s showdown in Pullman versus Washington State is as pivotal a game as there is between now and the end of the season. This game, for both teams, represents an opportunity to assume even greater control over the race for the […]
We may still be a few days away from the showdown in the Palouse between no. 12 Oregon and no. 25 Washington State, but it appears that Cougar fans are already in Saturday form given the way they welcomed the College GameDay production trucks to town Wednesday afternoon.
