While there are many technical aspects within the Oregon offense and defense that could come into play, we agreed on five concepts/strategies …

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 …

Our thirst for wins and championships poses an interesting question: how far will we go? When Oregon played Auburn four years ago in the National Championship game — I recall getting into a tit-for-tat email discussion before the game with a Tiger engineer who was very erudite and pretty challenging to play against in our chess-with-words. Yet as our emails continued, …
Oregon’s defensive performance against Arizona in the Pac-12 Championship ranks as one of the best ever at Oregon for a game of such importance. The majority of the credit goes to the Duck defensive line which shut down the inside running game of Arizona using techniques that we have barely covered before at FishDuck.com. Let’s take a look at the …
Oregon played extremely well to pull off a tough 77-70 win in Chicago at the United Center, home floor to the Chicago Bulls Saturday. Joseph Young, suffering through a shooting slump recently, did not start but was the second leading scorer for Oregon with 15 points. Emerging freshman star Dillon Brooks scored 24 points and Dwayne Benjamin added 13 to …
In a recent television show on ESPN both Joey Galloway and Danny Kanell were asked about the three Heisman candidates and their chances of winning. Could Oregon’s Marcus Mariota win the Heisman after winning the Maxwell, the Walter Camp, the Davey O’Brien, and the Johnny Unitas awards? Danny Kanell could not restrain his enthusiasm the for Duck quarterback as he …
Marcus Mariota won the Maxwell award for the National Player of the Year tonight as the first player ever from the University of Oregon to win it. He was also announced as the winner of the Walter Camp Foundation Award for National Player of the Year, edging out many of the student-athletes he is competing for the Heisman Trophy against. …
On the College Playoff Selection show on December 7, the ESPN panel delved into a number of topics about Oregon football and surprised viewers with some new conclusions taken from watching the Ducks over the 2014 season. About the Oregon Offensive Line: Rece Davis asks, “Oregon’s been banged up on the offensive line with guys playing hurt. But they’ve had …
For long-time Duck fans, hearing the praise of the Oregon quarterback was fun from a group that has not always been as complimentary of Oregon as the writers on FishDuck.com and you are. They also provided some insights about defending him and how other players may view him. Rece Davis asked fellow ESPN sportscasters Jesse Palmer and Danny Kanell, “If you’re …
Head Coach Mark Helfrich has brought new life to older plays in the Oregon playbook, but few are as odd as the Mid-Line Zone Read play. It seems to violate what we have learned about the Zone Read at Oregon, and it is a play that we rarely see. Readers of these Tuesday analyses are becoming as amused as I …
