The No. 6 Oregon Ducks are walking into one of the biggest stages in college football on Saturday to tackle No. 3 Penn State before a raucous White Out crowd at Beaver Stadium. The College Gameday crew, including a likely shirtless Pat McAfee, will do their level best to draw all eyes to Happy Valley for a heavyweight rematch of …
After beating weaker opponents to go 4-0, the Ducks now face what could be their toughest game of the year at Penn State. Some keys: Defense As we painfully remember, Oregon’s defense was far from championship caliber in their final two games last season, the Rose Bowl and B1G Championship Game. Ohio State did anything they wanted offensively against the …
Our Oregon football program faces its biggest test of the season in week five: Penn State. The Nittany Lions are third-ranked in the country in AP voting, and the Ducks aim to take their spot from the sixth slot. Dan Lanning and company are tasked with game planning for a HUGE win on the road with a rock-solid offensive scheme, elite …
The Ducks are 4-0 but far from perfect, and the warm-up games are over. Penn State is coming up Saturday. The Nittany Lions are going to be the first real test for the Ducks this season, and the Ducks the first competitive team Penn State will face. For the Ducks’ Offense to find success against a top B1G team, they …
It is time to say adios to the game. At least take an extended break until Oregon State gets back on its feet (if ever). When both were in the same conference, there was a certain equality to the matchup that no longer exists. Over the past 50 years or so, Oregon State been the “little brother,” but being in …
Our Oregon football program has been firing on all cylinders since day one of the season, and a ton of young talent has started to rise up the depth chart. Alongside the young Ducks, there’s one player who’s shock-and-awed all three games of the season so far. My personal “Best Defender of 2025” entering week four is Bryce Boettcher. Mr. …
They may not match the record 15 players that the Georgia Bulldogs had drafted as part of the 2022 NFL Draft but give credit to the Oregon Ducks for trying! This past spring, the Ducks set a new school record with ten players as part of the 2025 NFL Draft class, and there are thoughts that number will be surpassed …
For two weeks in a row the Oregon defense has been exposed, though the final scoreboard may not show it. The Duck defense has a weakness in defending the run. Against Oklahoma State the Ducks gave up 144 total yards, which may not sound too bad as the bulk of Cowboys’ total offense came off only a few drives — …
If there were any lingering doubts about whether Oregon belongs among college football’s heavyweights, the Ducks have opened the season with the subtlety of a belching orc, mercilessly collecting pelts to improve 2-0 heading into their first conference game. These ain’t your grandpappy’s Men of Oregon — these are Odin’s berserkers reveling in the spoils of their plunder. I’m not …
I start this article by admitting to failure. My search for something interesting to talk about for Oregon’s upcoming game against Northwestern came up empty. The Ducks should roll over the Wildcats the same way they destroyed Montana State and Oklahoma State. Even Mr. FishDuck had given up on Wildcat topics to have some gaming fun at Syndicate casino to …
Our Oregon football program has been putting the nation on notice over the last two weeks, and expectations have shot through the roof for what this team’s capable of. One player who entered the season as a major potential x-factor was freshman wide receiver Dakorien Moore. Even Mr. FishDuck had to share his surprise with me about this new freshman, although …
2024 saw Oregon rack up 13 wins and a B1G championship, but the 2024 team had surprisingly little depth. When Matthew Bedford was lost before the season started, the offensive line was in disarray for two weeks. This season feels completely different; this season, “next man up” doesn’t feel like cliche, but a reality. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break …
