Is Oregon Adding a Tight End Twist?
We veterans of Oregon football are accustomed to the usual movements within the Inside and Outside Zone Read play and their blocking schemes. Yet in the Fiesta Bowl we ran something unusual with our tight end…. a twist within our Zone Read plays? How did it work and what were the results? Will we see it again? These are great …
Healy Powers Ducks Past Northridge
This is a little more fun now. After Oregon’s offense got things going on Sunday against Cal State Fullerton, the Ducks carried some momentum back to PK Park as Oregon dominated Cal State Northridge on Monday night, 12-4.

Titans Thump Ducks Again
Yesterday brought the same opponent, same result for Oregon in the second game of their series with Cal State Fullerton.

Tommy Thorpe (2-1) might have had a bumpy …
Mental lift from Artis return is the key
The stats were not overwhelming, and they may not be for the rest of the year. Six points in 12 minutes won’t blow your hair back .

Ducks Lay An Egg In Series Opener At Fullerton
The fears that amassed in the LMU series really came around Friday night when Oregon opened its series at Cal State Fullerton.

Ducks MVP? A matter of numbers
I was thinking this week that I would come up with my own player efficiency rating for our basketball team. I have not done any research in regards to anyone else’s equations, so if mine is similar to something you have seen before, know that I have not copied anyone. This is the equation I have decided on that best …
Thank God That’s Over!

And to make matters worse, we are all tired of being cold and wet. That “nip in the air” that was so refreshing Sept. 23rd has been just plain …
