Cliff Grassmick We all love college football for a variety of reasons, one of those being the unpredictability the sport offers week-in and week-out. This week had a perfect blend of blowouts and nail biters to make for an eventful weekend. The top 5 teams in the AP Poll remained the same for the fourth consecutive week, but this past …
from Video There wasn’t a single upset amongst the top twenty teams in college football last Saturday, with the only losses by teams in the top twenty (#15 Washington, #16 Northwestern) coming to teams ranked higher (#5 Stanford, #4 Ohio State). The best chance for an upset came Saturday in the Georgia-Tennessee game. Trailing late by a touchdown, the Bulldogs …
Cliff Grassmick Despite already being two games into conference play, it could be said that the Ducks were concluding their preseason with Saturday’s matchup against Colorado. Oregon faced two rebuilding programs in consecutive weeks to start the Pac-12 schedule following non-conference play, leaving many to assume that Oregon would complete nearly the first half of its schedule without ever facing …
“When Offenses Attack” was the theme of the day. It seems that as the season goes on we are seeing more and more teams put up massive numbers of yardage and points. You have Baylor and Oregon averaging more than 50 points a game, easy. Clemson and FSU just dominate whoever lines up in front of them. Ohio State and Texas …
Cliff Grassmick The house was rocking. If Coach Mike MacIntyre had said pregame his team would be neck and neck with No. 2 Oregon midway through the 1st quarter, most experts would have laughed him out of the room. But there they were, hanging tough, down 15-10 at the 7:24 mark. Colorado’s leader said of their tenor to start the …
en.wikipedia.org A relatively unknown battle is taking place Saturday as the Colorado Buffaloes host Oregon and have a decisive statistic in their favor going into this contest. You see, Colorado has the 10th-best run defense in the country, allowing only 91 yards per game while Oregon, on the other hand, has the best rushing offense in the land, averaging 332.5 …
Craig Strobeck After four games into the season, a picture of what the Ducks will look like has started to emerge. Let me tell you, that picture is scary . . . for anyone who isn’t a Ducks fan. There are many reasons why teams should fear Oregon. Mariota, Thomas, Addison, Huff, Lyerla, Ekpre-Olomu, Mitchell . . . should I …
from Video Philadelphia hung in with Denver for a half, trailing only 21-13 at the break, before the Broncos did their best Oregon Ducks imitation — complete with TDs off of a kick return and a blocked punt — and ran up the final score to 52-20. The Eagles are now 1-3 and, predictably, panic and terror have set in …
www.imgcollegeseating.com One game at a time, boys! Supposedly Amos Alonzo Stagg was the first football coach to deliver that admonition to his team. Stagg’s team never played the 2013 Colorado Buffaloes. Oregon’s mantra of “Win the Day” was fulfilled on the very moment that Colorado joined the Pac-12 . . . and immediately bent over for the proctological exam to …
Kevin Cline If you’re expecting Oregon to finish high in the recruiting rankings this year, then prepare to be disappointed. Last week, I went against popular opinion and explained why I thought Oregon would be taking a relatively small 2014 recruiting class. Now it looks like they might take an even smaller class than I suspected. On Tuesday, Justin Hopkins …
Steve Francis Football Recruiting Commitments Almost equally impressive as the Oregon offense, a torrential downpour — the likes of which have not seen in Eugene for some time – brought with it the Ducks’ newest commitment: vaunted tailback Tony James (4-Star/Gainesville, FL/Rivals250). “I kind of knew I would be verballing while I was on my visit,” said the 5’9, 175-lb. James. ”All I …
Craig Strobeck My friends — I could not take two whole days after the game to make a video, thus for those who wish to learn, we still have the text and screenshot format below. We DID add a new entertaining component in new GIFs of the plays described, to see it that much better. Charles One of the fundamental …
