The Ducks are chock full of offensive linemen entering the latter half of their careers. They are nowhere near in trouble of having extra bodies to plug in should a couple of starters go down next year; however, picking up some OL recruits is great for our offense given the constant rotation OL coach Steve Greatwood has in games. Upwards of …
Meet Your New Ducks: Oregon Defeats Notre Dame
Well… kinda. After a rather stagnant October and November in the Oregon recruiting landscape, the Ducks have recently landed a 4-star stud named Danny Mattingly. Coming out of Spokane, WA, at Mead High School, Mattingly has created the reputation of being an extremely physical and disciplined athlete. He committed to Oregon on Dec 23rd after de-committing from Notre Dame earlier …
Meet Your New Ducks: Lamichael James and De’Anthony Thomas Have A Baby
Just kidding. But this is the next best thing. The Oregon Ducks have created quite the reputation for themselves over the years at running back. If you think about it, the last four (hopefully five in Kenjon) starting running backs have made it to the NFL (Jonathan Stewart, Jeremiah Johnson, LeGarrette Blount, and LaMichael James). That reputation will certainly be …
Meet Your New Ducks: A Home Run In Football AND Basketball!
One of Chip Kelly’s underappreciated qualities is his ability to get the most out of his players and maximize their potential. This has been evident throughout his whole tenure at the University of Oregon. Look at what he did with former QB Daryle Hawkins, or DB Kenjon Barner, or TE Dion Jordan (now a 1st round NFL prospect at DE). …
Meet Your New Ducks: Mr. Versatility
Oregon’s defense has made quite the name for themselves this season. It’s a very experienced squad headlined by star veterans LB Michael Clay and DE Dion Jordan. They’ve managed to take off some of the attention surrounding its elite offense by holding their opponents to a 25th best 22.0 points per game, along with the 3rd highest turnover margin in …
A Look Ahead (and back) To The Civil War
The Civil War is one of the most historic and heated college football rivalries in the NCAA. It may lack the pizazz and national attention of, let’s say, a Michigan vs Ohio State rivalry game, but this end-of-season matchup has been marked on the calendars of football fans in the Northwest for decades. A strong argument can be made that …
Meet Your New Ducks: Darren Carrington
Meet Your New Ducks: Darren Carrington Oregon’s young receiving core just got a little better. This 4-star, 6 foot 3, 180 pounder hails from San Diego, California. Nobody really knew what to call this kid in high school as he rarely missed a down playing WR, DB, and even splitting time at QB. Darren Carrington had been recruited hard by …
Something To Look Forward To…
38 carries, 644 yards, and 10 touchdowns. Enough said. Oregon’s latest highly touted recruit, Thomas Tyner, put up those numbers in ONE high school game last September. Even ESPN caught wind of this story. His overnight change of heart last week shouldn’t worry Duck fans whatsoever. He’s back, he’s committed, and he’ll be in uniform next season. Here’s what he …
Who Is Byron Marshall?
A lot has taken place in the opening weeks of the Ducks football season. We’ve seen some dominating victories, a couple of big injuries, and most importantly, a great deal of potential from the 2012 team as a whole. The offensive stars have shined bright in the preseason, and look as poised as ever as conference play starts up this …
The Top 5 Pro Ducks To Draft In Fantasy Football
Fantasy Football has quickly transitioned from a nerdy game of mathematics and formulas into one of sports’ most popular forms of entertainment, next to March Madness Bracketology. Average fans are given the titles of owners and commissioners, ultimately creating their own franchise with a group of like-minded sports fans craving that added incentive to watch. It’s a silly concept, but …
The fiercest teams you’ve never seen: Oregon Ducks Lacrosse
It is difficult to find a school that has had more success across the entirety of its program than the University of Oregon over the past year. It may have been lost somewhere amidst a Rose Bowl victory, post-season tournaments and two national championships, but Oregon was also conference champs in another sport — lacrosse. Oregon lacrosse, a club sport …
