Colorado and their head coach Deion Sanders are coming to Eugene this weekend and, love him or hate him, you have to respect him. So much of the Sanders hatred out there really comes from how the media is fawning over Colorado, which is a good team but, let’s get real, they aren’t going to make the College Football Playoff …
We had an interesting discussion this last week about whether or not the offensive line could be as strong as last year at rushing-at-will as we saw in a number of key moments in the 2022 season where ball control and burning the clock became as important as scoring points. Could the 2023 offensive line improve to where last year’s …
What is there to say about Oregon vs Hawaii, realistically? Oregon ran over Hawaii on Saturday night to the tune of 560 total yards and 55 points. The Ducks only allowed about three yards per play defensively. They played mostly mistake free outside of garbage time, with several of their larger penalties occurring on a late defensive possession resulting in …
Oregon escaped Lubbock, Texas with a hard fought 38-30 win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders, but the unit that was the heart and soul of the Ducks last year was MIA. Oregon’s offensive line that was one of the best in the nation last year, is now a major concern and possibly a limiting factor to their success this …
Admittedly, I am no maestro of the X’s and O’s. I have a good general knowledge of plays and formations but I will not be breaking down any offensive schemes here on FishDuck.com anytime soon. So, I go with my gut, and it just felt like the Ducks were being a little too “cute” on offense at Texas Tech. Far …
Our Oregon Ducks football program had quite the scare in Lubbock this past weekend. Tyler Shough played at a high level for the Red Raiders, and despite three interceptions and four sacks from the Oregon defense, our Ducks just couldn’t stay on the same page long enough to have that same offensive efficiency we saw in week one. However, there were …
Oregon’s defense found itself exposed on numerous occasions Saturday against Texas Tech, but what was clear is that this defensive front just oozes with potential. Mr. FishDuck pulled himself for a bit from the great sports site Overtime Heroics to agree with me on what we saw in Lubbock. Perhaps the most noticeable change over last year was Oregon’s pass …
That game was… strange. Oregon looked fantastic in the first quarter, going up 15-7 after stalling out on their first drive. Then they didn’t really do anything of note in the second quarter until they put up a field goal with less than one minute remaining following a fumble by Tyler Shough. That’s when the game changed. Texas Tech tried to …
Oregon’s starting lineup on defense was beyond startling to me, and while other media have casually passed it off–I am not, as I think it tells us more about head coach Dan Lanning, and how he plans to utilize starters and substitutions. It raises a ton of questions, and yet is also somewhat comforting. Bottom line is that I’ve never …
Whew, this game’s going to be a scorcher, and not just on the thermostat. Luckily, the Ducks are blazing hot after their 81-point victory over the Portland State Vikings, and now, they get the opportunity to take their talents on the road to Lubbock, Texas. While it might not look like a game we should have circled on the calendar, …
By now we have all seen pictures of the Bo-Dacious billboards in New York and Dallas in what is an official but unofficial Bo Nix for Heisman campaign. It’s only unofficial in that the Heisman is not printed on any of the material, but we all know better. But there is another player who is just as worthy of a …
Last season Oregon was 4-1 on the road and their lone road loss was their season finale facing rival Oregon State. However, OSU was the only legit team they faced on the road with the four wins facing teams that all ended the season under .500 in Pac 12 play. This season while the Ducks are hosting USC and Oregon …
