Kevin Cine Week 5 of college football is over. No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon are still clearly the top two teams in the country, while the remainder of the top five held their spots for the third consecutive week. The Ducks are closing in on Bama’s endeavor for supremacy, however, and with that, the teams left on the schedule become increasingly important to …
Craig Strobeck Another week of college football has concluded, and it is time to take a peek at the BCS race so far this season. A slate of dull games resulted many top teams merely tuning up for the heart of their season’s schedules and, though there was little movement in the rankings, we are starting to see the true …
Copyright-Andrew Shurtleff The BCS elites did nothing to tarnish their sparkling starts after the second week of the campaign’s March to Pasadena, but this weekend had exuberance nonetheless. The nation’s top five teams saw only minor change, but upsets and rebounding teams have once again changed the look of the bigger BCS picture. Alabama and Oregon at No. 2 lead the …
Kevin Cline The first week of college football has concluded, and I think it’s safe to say, we were well reminded of why fall is the best of the four seasons.

Kevin Cline The college football season is just around the corner and fans everywhere are eager to see our beloved Ducks make yet another run at the national championship. A three-headed explosive monster on offense and key returning players on defense are big reasons why Oregon figures to be a dominant team not only in the Pac but on the national level as well. Year in …
When someone mentions the Oregon Ducks, most people think of a fast-paced explosive offense that leaves defenders in a whirlwind searching for their own jock straps as the band strikes up “Mighty Oregon” and the Duck starts doing pushups. Lost in the offensive storm is a secret scarcely ever uttered east of the Oregon-Idaho state line: Oregon has a nationally prominent defense as well. While there are some …
Featured image courtesy of Kevin Cline. The Oregon Ducks will once again support the troops, but this time it will be on the hardwood instead of the gridiron, this time in the Armed Forces Classic. The second installment of the classic is a part of ESPN’s Veterans Week and will feature the Ducks facing off against the Georgetown Hoyas. I …
I always like to take a look at the starters who aren’t necessarily the main 1-2 punch for a team, but role players who can make or break a team down the stretch. Granted the Oregon Ducks have a fair amount of depth on their roster for offense, still there are some questions that must be asked. Who will have …
The number 1 seed Oregon Ducks used a critical two-run 8th inning to come from behind and beat South Dakota State 3-2 in their first game of the Eugene Regional Friday night. Junior first baseman Ryon Healy delivered the go-ahead two run double with one out in the 8th that lit up PK Park and ultimately set up All-American closer …
The regular season is now complete. Slates are wiped clean with the end of the Pac-12 race, and the start on the road to Omaha.

Coming off a record-breaking season in wins, Oregon (45-14) will begin its …
Salt Lake City, UT- The short-handed Ducks fell in their season finale to the Utah Utes, who posted a season-high 16 hits, resulting in a 10-3 final score.
