Welcome to the Block Party (Feat. Jordan Bell)

Caleb Couturie FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Jordan Bell isn’t the Ducks top scorer. He’s only scored more than ten points once the entire season. He’s a good rebounder, sure, but for his size he should do a better job than he does. His 6′-9″ frame, combined with his elite athleticism, should certainly warrant more than his 6.9 rebounds per game average. What Bell does have, though, …

Noah Smith FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

As I sat in a restaurant in New Orleans last night, I’m pretty sure I was the only one beginning to seethe from watching ESPN as the the BREAKING NEWS crawl went across the screen. Then I started getting a bit concerned, as I read that Darren Carrington was not going to be able to play in the Championship Game …

Will Ohio State’s Cardale Jones Have A Big Game Against Oregon?

Austin Willhoft FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Not much is known about Ohio State’s Cardale Jones, other than that he took over for injured quarterback J.T. Barret after he went down during a game against the Wolverines. In two starts for OSU, Jones has been playing exceptional football throwing six touchdowns and one interception. On top of that, his passer rating is currently 159.0, which all in …

If Oregon Doesn’t Give Don Pellum a Raise, Could He Leave?

Jason Selby FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

It was reported by 247sports two days ago that LSU might have some vested interest in Oregon Defensive Coordinator Don Pellum. While Duck fans should not worry about Pellum making any decision in the very near future (he is obviously focused 100% on Ohio State right now), should we be worried about Pellum leaving after the season is over? Coach Pellum has been …

David Koh FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

It’s happening again. Oregon fans are getting absolutely sick of hearing roster news midweek this season, especially this week, but here it comes. Again. According to CSNNW’s Aaron Fentress, another Duck has taken a dive, and this one has no one to blame but himself. Darren Carrington, perhaps Oregon’s best, and certainly its hottest wide receiver, has tested positive for marijuana and been …

An Analysis of the Resilient Buckeyes

Rory Davidson FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

Thank god for the College Football Playoff. The Ducks would have been left out of the national championship if the BCS system was still being used; the same goes for Ohio State. In the first year of the playoff, it has already been proven that the BCS was a faulty system. Next thing you know, the playoff is going to …

“Injured” Ducks to Play in National Championship Game

Dave Kensler FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

This season has been amazing on so many levels for the Oregon Ducks, but one of the most overlooked aspects of it might be their response to injuries. Yes, it’s a common phrase that “injuries are part of the game of football.” However, if we take a step back and look at the key impairments over the entire season, I bet …

Just One More Recruit: Iman Marshall

Adam Kruse FishWrap, FishWrap Archive

One of the most amazing aspects about this year’s Oregon team has been their ability to overcome injuries.
