It is recognized that Ohio State beat Oregon in the National Championship game due to its superior run game, and last week we covered the first of the two major running plays that hurt Oregon, the Wham/Trap play. This week we will cover the one primary play that the Buckeyes destroyed the Ducks with, the Counter play, of which had …
The growth of this Oregon basketball team continues to surprise and impress the Duck fan faithful. Last night in Haas Pavilion our beloved Ducks responded every time to a potential run by Cal as they hit key shots down the stretch and made 10 of 11 foul shots at crunch time to seal the win, 80-69. This simply did not …
A perception of the National Championship Game is that Ohio State pummeled Oregon badly on the ground, and in particular two plays hurt the Ducks the most. We will look at the first of the two of the major Buckeye running plays today, although we also know that the OSU QB played incredibly well against Oregon (especially on third down) …
Be a part of the rising success of TJ Fischer in the brutal world of racing! My nephew has worked incredibly hard to rise through the ranks in a profession where the best may not ever be seen due to lack of funding. At first I did not understand all the levels of racing, and I have been impressed with …
My curiosity toward this 2015 Oregon Baseball team is just enormous; rumor is the pitching is inexperienced and this might be the first year George Horton cannot rely as much on defense. Yet Oregon brought in four JC transfers that are starting against the Hawaii Warriors primarily because of their batting? This was a bit much to digest after all …
My FishDuck.com friends…please indulge me today as I write from a place of pride about my nephew. He has been ascending the impossibly difficult ladder of Professional Motorsports. As a young man, he faced an equally difficult choice: college football or open-wheel (formula car) racing, having grown up doing both. Winning regional formula car races marked the beginning of his career, eventually culminating in a National Championship. …
Once Oregon gets consistently into the Top Five…wins major bowls, becomes one of the top winning programs in the nation–and if the Ducks play twice in five years for the National Championship–THEN our beloved Ducks will recruit like the BEST. Hey you Greybeards. You know who you are in age, and like me, you have thought the above. Heck–I didn’t …
My head is going to explode from the old, but new national narrative about Oregon being “soft.” Yes, I know I am supposed to provide you and a couple of hundred coaches an analysis article each Tuesday, but we have 51 other weeks for that. We have to slay this dragon once and for all while providing you a link …
I waited eleven days for THAT? Duck fans everywhere are very disappointed right now, because after the opening drive we had few moments to cheer. I was supposed to have a short game analysis last night, and my usual Tuesday analysis today? The heck with it. The objective of this site is to keep learning and enjoying the game more, …
How will Oregon attack Ohio State in the National Championship Game? It is an interesting question to ponder as Rory Davidson and I of FishDuck.com (who have been creating analyses throughout the season for this site) sat down to discuss it yesterday. While there are many technical aspects within the Oregon offense and defense that could come into play, we agreed on five concepts/strategies …
This is one of the best GIFs ever made for FishDuck.com by Glenn Hanna. For this week we had to re-release it as it is too much fun! If you would like a link to the video so you can put it into your Facebook….here you go! Top Photo by Glenn Hanna from Video
I agreed to do a post-game short analysis for the Managing Editor of FishDuck.com, Paul Jones, but my reaction was the same as fellow analyst Rory Davidson and Hawaii Coach Tony Hoolulu. As we watched the game, we did not observe anything unusual about the Oregon offense or defense in the Rose Bowl– the Ducks just played the same tactics with superb …
