Oregon is set to play in the Peach Bowl against Indiana in the College Football Playoff semifinals. It will be another trip to the east coast for the Ducks this season, and on a shorter timeline than the Orange Bowl. Strangely enough the Ducks’ time in the B1G has prepared them for this because they have traveled multiple times to …
Round 2 of the College Football Playoff is here, and since the bracket was announced it was almost an inevitably that No. 5 Oregon would meet No. 4 Texas Tech. Though this match-up was predicted so long in advance, there are still some questions that will only be answered on the field. Texas Tech’s Defense Texas Tech’s defense has been …
Oregon took down JMU in the first round of the college football playoff and the first playoff game in Autzen. However, the game was a tale of two different Duck teams. Good Duck Let’s start with the good stuff. For two and a half quarters, there was plenty to be happy about. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his …
Oregon has just finished signing the third-ranked recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to Rivals. However, based on player average score, Oregon has the best average. The Ducks broke a record number of five-star recruits with five, and have just as many five-star recruits as they do three-stars. Even Mr. FishDuck paused from his investigation into quick money support …
Oregon just finished the season 11-1, but the journey isn’t over yet. For the vast majority of college football playoff history, the end of the regular season means one or two more games and a time to wrap up the season, and 11 wins is a good season. However, with the 12-team playoff, the Ducks are now gearing up for …
We are in the second year of the 12-team playoff, and still the playoff formula hasn’t changed from the BCS era. The formula is simple: play your schedule and don’t lose. Sounds simple, right? Just win out and you’re in, and the best teams should win out. In theory that makes sense, but the reality is that not all schedules …
This season has been a bit of a downer, even though the Ducks are 10-1 and on the verge of a College Football Playoff bid. We got a massive win over Penn State just for it to be forgotten as Penn State took one of the biggest nosedives in recent college football history. The following game, the Ducks laid an …
Oregon has finally found its identity, which seems strange to say as we just wrapped up Game 10 in the regular season. This is a physical run team with a vertical passing offense that is also incredibly physical. But hasn’t this been Oregon’s identity all year long? Yes, this was the end goal for what this team’s offensive identity should …
Is Oregon physical enough for the B1G? If you are reading this article you are probably a Duck fan, and your reaction is going to be an emphatic YES! I know our Mr. FishDuck took a break from his preference to bet on sports in AZ to give me an earful of his thoughts, and I imagine many of you …
This year I find myself missing the Pac-12 and all the chaos it brings. The B1G is just too top-heavy, and that’s the problem with super conferences; they generate a whole lot of mediocre games. The marquee match-ups have been great fun. Watching Oregon play Ohio State last year was one of the best games in Oregon’s history. The games …
The Duck offense has done fantastic against bad defenses this year and even better against all around bad teams. Oregon’s offense has struggled against teams that have competitive athletes to their own. We saw this at Penn State (yes Penn State, still has some quality athletes), against Indiana, and now Wisconsin. The Badgers’ greatest weakness seems to come more from …
It is amazing what a week after a tough loss can do, as the Ducks didn’t let Rutgers get close to handing them a second loss. Sure, Rutgers doesn’t sit atop the Big Ten rankings; they aren’t even a ranked team, but they are certainly a better team than Oregon State and Oklahoma State (which Oregon disposed of with relative …
