Though he doesn’t plan to slow down for anyone, Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost isn’t counting on the quack attack’s trademark tempo taking Ohio State by surprise. The Oregon offense is used to sending defenses reeling with its patented barrage of quick and deadly play calls, a strategy which can rapidly put a poorly conditioned defense back on its heels with hands on hips …
It is a Crab Attack! He is outside the Rose Bowl…destroying things….looking for Jameis Winston! You have to admit….you didn’t see that one coming! Our thanks to Glenn Hanna for his skills again…so we all get a laugh. Glenn only makes winners! To put it in your Facebook as a video–the link is here. See more in the GIF section–go …
“The mind,” Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer once famously quipped, “is a fragile thing.” I was thinking of that Meyer quote the other day as I watched the post-Sugar Bowl press conference. Specifically when the Buckeyes coach reacted to the news the Oregon Ducks had thoroughly cleaned Florida State’s clock earlier that same day in the Rose Bowl. A …
It was winter break. I walked into the local PacSun, a clothing store in San Francisco‘s biggest mall. I donned a bright yellow “O” on my shirt, and while shopping in the back a girl pulled me over and asked me if I went to Oregon. I replied yes, and she told me how her best friend went there and …
When Chip Kelly left Eugene for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013, he left two major voids in the Oregon football program. Kelly had not just been the face of the Ducks, he was also the play-caller for the renowned high-octane spread offense. As much as head coach Mark Helfrich deserves credit for leading the team to a national championship game in just …
Football Recruiting News On the heels of what was Oregon’s second biggest win in school history (next Monday…), the Ducks received a verbal commitment from standout junior college jack-of-all-trades Paris Bostick (NR/Tampa, FL). The former Georgia Bulldog opted to transfer after his recruited position, rover, was no longer a sole option after a coaching change. “It was a football decision,” said Bostick. …
The Oregon offense certainly doesn’t lack weapons, boasting the Heisman winner Marcus Mariota, Pac-12 offensive freshman of the year Royce Freeman and running back turned slot receiver Byron Marshall. As if Mariota and the offense needed any more help, redshirt freshman wide receiver Darren Carrington has become yet another factor that Ohio State will have to contend with.

ESPN College Football Live already has boots on the ground in Dallas in preparation for next Monday night’s National Championship Game. Yesterday, the crew debated Marcus Mariota‘s legacy as potentially the greatest quarterback, not just in Oregon history, not just in Pac-12 history but in the history of college football. Here is a video of their discussion. Shocked with his name being mentioned among the all-time greats? Don’t be. Mariota …
Jordan Ingram reporting for FishDuck.com at Hatfield-Dowlin Complex in Eugene, Oregon. Oregon’s offensive coordinator Scott Frost is no stranger to success. In 1997, Frost led his alma mater Nebraska Cornhuskers to a perfect 13-0 season and a national championship. He was also a Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award and Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award finalist. But football is a team sport and the former Husker quarterback is …
Fans, we are six days away from the biggest game of our season and our Ducks are the talk of the town… everywhere. We will face the Ohio State Buckeyes, who defeated Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to advance to the title game. I watched the Ohio State game and give them props as they played a good game. I have heard …
If you didn’t know his name before, chances are you probably do now. Evan Baylis, a redshirt sophomore tight end, was virtually unknown as this season began, but his Rose Bowl performance caught the attention of Duck fans. And as Oregon heads to the national title game against Ohio State, the previously unknown No. 81 might be more important than …
Yes, it sounds incredibly cliche’ to say that a football game will be won in the trenches. Coming into this season, the biggest question mark surrounding the Ducks was whether or not they could be physical enough to compete with teams like Stanford or Michigan State. I was at both of those games, and I can confidently say the Ducks won the battle in …
