Tonight is the biggest day in Oregon sports history, and you have the opportunity to watch history be made. Yes, we played in the 2011 National Championship Game against the Auburn Tigers, but with no disrespect to the Tigers, …
Oregon Basketball Correspondent Jason Selby reporting live from the Matthew Knight Arena in rainy Eugene, Oregon. First Half Following a tough loss to the No.7 ranked Arizona Wildcats, the Ducks of Oregon stepped back into Matthew Knight Arena to take on a tough Arizona State Sun Devils team. The arena, to the shock of some, was decently filled for the early afternoon start time. Putting it simply, there was …
It was reported by 247sports two days ago that LSU might have some vested interest in Oregon Defensive Coordinator Don Pellum. While Duck fans should not worry about Pellum making any decision in the very near future (he is obviously focused 100% on Ohio State right now), should we be worried about Pellum leaving after the season is over? Coach Pellum has been …
Just when you thought the awards might be over, they keep coming. The Associated Press announced its All Bowl Team, as reported yesterday by 247sports.com. And as expected, Marcus Mariota was selected as the most valuable bowl season quarterback. To go along with Mariota, Troy Hill was selected as one of two cornerbacks, further helping to represent the University of Oregon. You might say that this …
Yes, it sounds incredibly cliche’ to say that a football game will be won in the trenches. Coming into this season, the biggest question mark surrounding the Ducks was whether or not they could be physical enough to compete with teams like Stanford or Michigan State. I was at both of those games, and I can confidently say the Ducks won the battle in …
So, it was announced a few weeks ago that Oregon chose to go with the all green uniforms for the Rose Bowl, since the three other teams in the College Football Playoff all shared red as a common color.

Loss of a Leader With All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu out for the Rose Bowl, do the Ducks still stand a chance? Long time College Football analyst, Tim Brando, and host of “The Tim Brando Show” on SiriusXM Radio thinks they do: “Tony Washington and the Oregon secondary have been overshadowed by Ifo.” Essentially, Brando feels that the rest of the Ducks defense has not been …
Following a great weekend of practice, the Ducks took the practice field Monday for their first game-week practice. At this point in preparation, it’s more about focusing on the little things that help make teams great. And there is no one better at the little things than All-American Cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. Ekpre-Olomu suffered a torn acl in practice a few weeks ago …
As we all now know, the Ducks flew to Los Angeles on Christmas Day to start their game-week preparation. Center Hroniss Grasu made big headlines, as he was seen practicing in pads for the first time since injuring his leg against Utah on November 8th. Running back Thomas Tyner has been seen practicing as well, despite suffering through a multitude of injuries towards the end …
According to Rob Moseley of goducks.com, the Ducks second practice in Los Angeles yesterday was low-key. A lot of good things happened during practice, but most players were not wearing pads, so the mood was more on detail rather than physicality. As practice broke, players noticed a familiar face on the sidelines, sporting crutches and a knee brace….. it was …
Coming into the season, the Ducks appeared to have one of the best offensive lines in the country. Before the season even started, projected starting left tackle Tyler Johnstone underwent double knee surgery ruling him out for the entire year. During the season, starters Jake Fisher, Andre Yruretagoyena and Hroniss Grasu all suffered various injuries that kept them out for an extended period of time. With Fisher …
