For much of the 1900’s the Oregon Ducks were… not so good at football. For example, in the 1920’s saw the Ducks go winless four times in ten years. Other times, they were excellent, like in 1948, when they went undefeated in the regular season (7-0), only to do the exact opposite only two seasons later. The program also (sadly) …
Oregon’s October schedule harbors a horde of Huskies, Cougars, and Utes on the horizon. All ranked, all dominant, and all eager to knock the block off of our Oregon Ducks football program rising to elite status. A bye week couldn’t have been more aptly timed than now, as our Ducks have a two-week stretch to prepare for Washington, while the …
This weekend exposed two of the top three consensus teams in the Pac-12 this season as USC and Washington were both in fights for their undefeated survival, while Oregon cruised past Stanford. What has become apparent between these three teams is that USC and Washington are built in very similar ways. They both have great quarterbacks and rely heavily on …
So far this season, the Oregon Ducks are averaging 232 yards per game on the ground, which is good for seventh in the nation. Their success is due in part to the variety of Coach Will Stein’s rushing attack — keeping opposing defenses of balance. Against the Colorado Buffaloes, the Ducks offense unleashed a play that they hadn’t run all …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Our Oregon Ducks football program had quite the scare in Lubbock this past weekend. Tyler Shough played at a high level for the Red Raiders, and despite three interceptions and four sacks from the Oregon defense, our Ducks just couldn’t stay on the same page long enough to have that same offensive efficiency we saw in week one. However, there were …
Whew, this game’s going to be a scorcher, and not just on the thermostat. Luckily, the Ducks are blazing hot after their 81-point victory over the Portland State Vikings, and now, they get the opportunity to take their talents on the road to Lubbock, Texas. While it might not look like a game we should have circled on the calendar, …
In Autzen Stadium there is a jumbotron that shows highlights, stats, hype videos, and several other pieces of information. One thing that the jumbotron displays is the pushup count for the Duck. For those who are uninitiated, the University of Oregon mascot does pushups equivalent to the teams total score whenever the Ducks score. On Saturday against Portland State, the …
