Scott Frost Focused on Arizona and Scooby Wright

Caleb Couturie FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Scott Frost is tired of a lot of things. He’s tired of people asking him about the Nebraska head coaching job, even though it’s been available for only two days, and he’s tired of people saying Arizona is the new Stanford. He’s never been a man of many words, and with the short week affecting Oregon’s practice schedule, he’s ready …

Mariota’s Layers of Leadership

Natalie Liebhaber FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

I caught myself smiling as I read George Schroeder’s feature on Marcus Mariota for USA TODAY Sports last night. What Duck fan doesn’t enjoy reading some good gushing over our once-in-a-generation-talent quarterback? We adore him (in a platonic football way, of course)! The article details both Mariota’s kindness and competitiveness through stories provided by coaches Mark Helfrich and Scott Frost, …

Not So “Lowe” Anymore: Ducks Welcome Back Dynamic Wide Receiver

Caleb Couturie FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Statistically speaking, Keanon Lowe is nobody special. The senior receiver is on pace to break his season high for receptions, but that mark was set his sophomore year with a meager 22 catches. If you ask Head Coach Mark Helfrich or Offensive Coordinator Scott Frost about what Lowe means to this team, I’m positive they will give you a much …

OC Scott Frost and Ducks “Fired Up” for Stanford

Austin Willhoft FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

This is the week. Saturday, the Ducks will face their biggest trial so far this season: Stanford. It would be a mistake for Oregon to treat this as a typical game, as the Ducks are still in the chase for the National Championship. The Ducks are favored again this year, as they were last year. So, what would Stanford love to do this …

Royce Freeman, Oregon Ducks

Run Royce Run!

Omar Garibay FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

The Oregon coaching staff has been adamant and clear about one thing all season long, and after seeing his performance on friday night, they might have to change their stance. Freshmen running back Royce Freeman had his third straight week of over 100 yards rushing in Oregon’s win against Cal. If he keeps having these type of performances, the coaching …

Sunday Reaction: Ten Important Notes From the Cal Game

Caleb Couturie FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Well, there we have it. Another Ducks win by double digits, Oregon beats Cal for the sixth straight time, and the collegiate history at Levi’s Stadium gets kicked off with a Ducks win. As of right now, if the season ended today, Oregon would make the first ever College Football Playoff (loud cheers heard throughout Eugene). Experts predict it would …

Home away from home?

Max Thornberry FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Last week I looked at the advantage the match-up at home gave the Ducks against the Huskies. This week’s game in California isn’t a home game for the Ducks, but its looking as if  it won’t be for the Golden Bears either. Friday night’s game is going to be played at the home of the San Francisco 49ers, the new billion …

Catching Up with Offensive Coordinator Scott Frost

Max Thornberry FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

FishDuck.com reporters Caleb Couturie and Omar Garibay-Diaz were able to catch up with offensive coordinator, Scott Frost, today at the Hatfield-Dowling complex to get his take on how the offense has been performing. After Saturday’s demolition of the Huskies the number one player on most Duck fans’ minds was Royce Freeman because of his 29 carries for 169 yards and …

Mike Merrell’s Three-and-Out: Damnation, Redemption and Hope

Mike Merrell FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Since the previous week featured so much condemnation and in-fighting among Duck fans, a win over a ranked UCLA team was just what the doctor ordered to settle down some heated feelings. It appears that it isn’t just Duck fans who have trouble getting along when their team is losing. UCLA coach Jim Mora blessed us with quite a show …

One Team, One City, One Love. Go Ducks.

Ashley Young FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

If you are looking for an explanation as to why the Ducks lost, you’ve come to the wrong place. Likewise, if you are looking for someone to point a finger at, again, turn around now. I know, probably not the best way to begin this article, but I have a lot to say with an uneasy feeling in my stomach. …

Ducks Success Hangs in the Balance

Alex Towne FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm, and harmony.” – Thomas Merton After attending college for three years now and absorbing as much enlightening knowledge as a naive 21-year-old is capable of, I feel that I can say one thing for sure. Life is about balance. Balance of work and play. Health and vices. Pleasure …

Recruiting Update: Murray Still in Play?

Mark Flores FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Football Recruiting News Around four months ago, I had a conversation with an Oregon fan who’s very much in the know. Quarterback Kyler Murray (4-Star/Allen, TX/Rivals100) had just committed to Texas A&M and my mood was shot. That someone, however, told me not to fret as Murray was “still in play” and to keep a close watch on the shifty …
