A new week brings new challenges for the 19th-ranked Ducks, as Saturday night’s game at no. 24 Cal marks the first time this season that Oregon has traveled on the road to face an opponent.

This weekly piece will provide a snapshot of both the recruits currently committed to the […]
Oregon’s annual “Saturday Night Live” event – initially implemented by former head coach Willie Taggart – is billed as arguably the biggest recruiting weekend of the offseason, save for perhaps the spring game. Taking place one week before the start of fall camp, Saturday Night Live is a chance for the Oregon coaching staff to […]
