Dan Lanning’s TEN Over-the-Top Surprises for Duck Fans

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

This coach is special. So many of the Oregon faithful are coming to that conclusion as Dan Lanning‘s second season is unfolding. There are many obvious developments we are all pleased to observe, but some of the more subtle ones I’ve been detecting have me scratching my head for a comparison to prior Duck coaches. There aren’t any. I began …

Brash and Bodacious Works

Darren Perkins Editorials

Coaches talk. Keyshawn Johnson, on the sports talk show “Undisputed,” essentially implied it to be subversive behavior when coaches gave Danning Lanning information on the Colorado Buffaloes. As if Neon Deion Sanders is the victim. I sarcastically say that God knows such a tactic would be below the standards of Sanders, a first-year coach and media darling who slashed his …

Oregon Ducks Football: 5 Keys to Beating Stanford

Alex Heining Editorials

The Ducks aren’t out of the woods yet. There’s a lot of football left to be played with zero room for error from here on out. While we may have made it past Hollywood, our Oregon Ducks football program still has to make it through a notoriously treacherous matchup down in Nor Cal with the Stanford Cardinal. Beating Colorado was …

Ducks Continue to Surge in Silence

David Marsh Editorials

Last spring Josh Pate at Late Kick Live did a segment about how the Oregon fanbase was feeling. He basically said that the Ducks are doing great things, but are flying under the radar for much of the college football world. And even after Oregon’s demolition of Colorado, it still feels like the Ducks are flying under the radar. This …

Oregon Ducks Remind Nation: Don’t Believe Colorado Hype

Jordan Ingram Editorials

After Saturday’s football clinic in Eugene, it would be easy to take potshots at Colorado and mercilessly crow over the Buffs’ 42-6 loss at the hands of the No. 9 Oregon Ducks. The final score speaks for itself. Of course, the most succinct and well-phrased game description came from Colorado head coach Deion “Prime Time” Sanders in his postgame interview: …

Louis Vuitton Not Good Enough For Oregon

Ryan Robertson Editorials

The Oregon Ducks are, mercifully, 4-0 through the first third of the season. Unlike 2022, where the Ducks lost by 46 to UGA to start the season, 2023 has seen one tough road game and three blow outs at home for Oregon. Their most recent victim? Colorado. The Buffs, much to the pleasure of many college football fans, have their …

Oregon Ducks Football: 5 Keys to Beating Colorado

Alex Heining Editorials

Our Oregon Ducks put their web-footed stamp on week three in a huge way by absolutely dominating Hawaii in Autzen. Now, they turn the corner to “America’s Team,” and we’re not talking about the Dallas Cowboys. Colorado football has emerged as the fan favorite for a 30 for 30 with the all-time great NFL superstar Deion Sanders leading the way. While the …

Colorado is the New Hotness and That’s Just Fine

David Marsh Editorials

Colorado and their head coach Deion Sanders are coming to Eugene this weekend and, love him or hate him, you have to respect him. So much of the Sanders hatred out there really comes from how the media is fawning over Colorado, which is a good team but, let’s get real, they aren’t going to make the College Football Playoff …

Should Oregon Play to its Passing Attack Strengths?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

We had an interesting discussion this last week about whether or not the offensive line could be as strong as last year at rushing-at-will as we saw in a number of key moments in the 2022 season where ball control and burning the clock became as important as scoring points. Could the 2023 offensive line improve to where last year’s …

Oregon Beats Up on Bad Teams Again

Ryan Robertson Editorials

What is there to say about Oregon vs Hawaii, realistically? Oregon ran over Hawaii on Saturday night to the tune of 560 total yards and 55 points. The Ducks only allowed about three yards per play defensively. They played mostly mistake free outside of  garbage time, with several of their larger penalties occurring on a late defensive possession resulting in …
