It does not seem we have seen this rendition of Oregon football play its best ball. Which begs the question: Will they? Here are some ramblings as I stew over Oregon’s upcoming Orange Bowl appearance against Texas Tech… The Second Half Letdown Against JMU I am not going to overreact to what happened to the Ducks in the second half …
Are you not entertained? Our Oregon football program hung a healthy 51 points on JMU in their first College Football Playoff game of the postseason, advancing the Ducks to the Orange Bowl against Texas Tech on New Year’s Day (Jan 1st, 12:00 pm EST). This is Oregon’s first postseason win since beating Jameis Winston’s Florida State Seminoles in 2014, creating massive implications …
Oregon took down JMU in the first round of the college football playoff and the first playoff game in Autzen. However, the game was a tale of two different Duck teams. Good Duck Let’s start with the good stuff. For two and a half quarters, there was plenty to be happy about. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his …
By any measure — spreadsheet, some nerd’s algorithm or Fat Joey’s Calzone and Sportsbook — the No. 5 Oregon Ducks‘ College Football Playoff opener looks like a formality dressed up as a national event. The Ducks open Saturday against No. 12 James Madison at Autzen Stadium as 21-point favorites — projected as a primetime belt-to-buns hardly worth pundits’ coveted analysis. …
It is my belief that if this season is to be considered a “success,” the Ducks must at least advance to the CFP semifinals. Even Mr. FishDuck took a moment from his fun at no KYC betting sites to agree with my standards. Here are my thoughts on all potential outcomes: A First-Round Loss The only way the Ducks could …
Our Oregon Football program has had some MAJOR wins as of late. Evan Stewart, Gary Bryant Jr., and Dakorien “Metro” Moore were all spotted at practice this week in limited action. That bodes extremely well for the Ducks’ postseason hopes and gives the offense a much better chance to stretch the field against some of the best defenses in the country. …
The idea that ‘a good defence wins Championships’ is a popular mantra that has defined so many successful teams at all levels of football. However, the Oregon Ducks are on course to flip that narrative with ‘The Law Firm’ – a fearsome offensive unit that could deliver a National Championship this season. The Law Firm ‘The Law Firm’ moniker was …
Oregon has just finished signing the third-ranked recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to Rivals. However, based on player average score, Oregon has the best average. The Ducks broke a record number of five-star recruits with five, and have just as many five-star recruits as they do three-stars. Even Mr. FishDuck paused from his investigation into quick money support …
I know many of you are going to do a double-take of the title that is obviously in error. HC Dan Lanning and his staff have killed it in recruiting portal transfers, whether we refer to quarterback, offensive line, defensive line or defensive backs. Oregon’s track record in the portal is not only one of the best for attracting them …
…in the name of keeping my B1G/Oregon Ducks homer mentality in check, if the Ducks were in the same position as the Irish, I would say the same thing. The Art of Becoming a “No-Brainer” Regarding the NCAA basketball tournament, I laugh out loud (which means “LOL”) when teams on the bubble claim to be getting screwed over by the …
Here. We. GO. Our Oregon football program is officially in the dance again after an 11-1 regular season, and the matchup is set for James Madison to come up to Autzen on December 20th @4:30 PST. While the Ducks are opening as massive favorites (-21.5 points at the time of writing this), the confidence this team must have entering their …
Oregon just finished the season 11-1, but the journey isn’t over yet. For the vast majority of college football playoff history, the end of the regular season means one or two more games and a time to wrap up the season, and 11 wins is a good season. However, with the 12-team playoff, the Ducks are now gearing up for …
