Our Oregon Ducks football program is entering the most important weekend of their season thus far. The Ducks will travel up to Seattle, WA to take on their cross-state rival in the Washington Huskies, currently sitting one slot ahead of them at #7 in the AP Top-25 rankings. While Washington boasts as complete a roster as you’ll find in college …
Heisman Trophy voting changes from year to year. The trophy is supposed to go to the best player in college football, and it often goes to a quarterback due to quantifiable stats and the quarterback simply touching the ball on every down. Sure, non-quarterbacks have won the award but that isn’t a terribly regular occurrence. Mr. FishDuck took some time …
The proud B1G conference should re-think the entry of the men of Washington into their prestigious conference. Note I stated the men, because the female athletes in Seattle are at least marginally acceptable to join, but their male counterparts should be ignored and soundly rejected. Washington fans like to refer to Oregon as the “zeros,” but guess how many NCAA …
For much of the 1900’s the Oregon Ducks were… not so good at football. For example, in the 1920’s saw the Ducks go winless four times in ten years. Other times, they were excellent, like in 1948, when they went undefeated in the regular season (7-0), only to do the exact opposite only two seasons later. The program also (sadly) …
A high percentage of Oregon fans and media sources outside the state do not truly understand how special and unique this 2023 team is in terms of experience. Nothing beats playing time and experience, as that can often be the difference at key moments in games. The savvy players make smart plays, while the newbies still have to learn the …
Is the SEC strategy actually new? No, but it is quite new to Oregon, and as a 37 year season ticket holder–it is something I’ve never witnessed with the Ducks before. I was enjoying my time playing on casino online Revolut, but had to take a moment to share my thoughts because head Coach Dan Lanning implemented this strategy without …
With the upcoming bye, we have an extra week to ponder (ie. over-analyze) this year’s Oregon-Washington game. And, what a year to have that extra week. I think I can speak for most Duck fans when I say that we were pleasantly surprised that Washington’s defense and aerial attack were not up to snuff last Saturday against Arizona, which almost …
Oregon’s October schedule harbors a horde of Huskies, Cougars, and Utes on the horizon. All ranked, all dominant, and all eager to knock the block off of our Oregon Ducks football program rising to elite status. A bye week couldn’t have been more aptly timed than now, as our Ducks have a two-week stretch to prepare for Washington, while the …
This weekend exposed two of the top three consensus teams in the Pac-12 this season as USC and Washington were both in fights for their undefeated survival, while Oregon cruised past Stanford. What has become apparent between these three teams is that USC and Washington are built in very similar ways. They both have great quarterbacks and rely heavily on …
So far this season, the Oregon Ducks are averaging 232 yards per game on the ground, which is good for seventh in the nation. Their success is due in part to the variety of Coach Will Stein’s rushing attack — keeping opposing defenses of balance. Against the Colorado Buffaloes, the Ducks offense unleashed a play that they hadn’t run all …
This is kind of hard to believe about Our Beloved Ducks, so you need to confirm this for yourself in reference to just how unique this season has progressed through five games. I was able to pull Mr. FishDuck from his NFL Thursday predictions long enough for even him to be amazed as well. The first thing you should do …
This coach is special. So many of the Oregon faithful are coming to that conclusion as Dan Lanning‘s second season is unfolding. There are many obvious developments we are all pleased to observe, but some of the more subtle ones I’ve been detecting have me scratching my head for a comparison to prior Duck coaches. There aren’t any. I began …
