I made a mistake the last time I addressed the Ducks’ running back group. It was early August and everything I was hearing pointed to a two-way race taking place between Byron Marshall and Thomas Tyner for starting running back. I wrote an article for FishDuck about the battle and predicted that Tyner would take on the feature back role. …
Let’s be real, the Ducks have one of the most dynamic offenses throughout the NCAA. Their ability to rapidly put points on the board causes opponents to feel as if it would be impossible to pull off a comeback. Credit is due where credit is deserved, and it’s always pivotal to point out the certain individuals that fuel that Ducks …
Oregon Ducks Football Practice Report: October 23rd The Ducks took the practice field on Thursday and had their traditional walk-through for tomorrow night’s matchup against the high-scoring California Golden Bears. The game will be played in the newly built Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California, which is also the new home of the San Francisco 49ers. The Ducks and the Golden …
Well our Ducks are about ready to head down to Levi Stadium in California to face the Cal Golden Bears Friday October 24th and boy, does last years Cal game, referred to some as the “monsoon bowl”, bring back memories. That was my very first game in Autzen Stadium; it was also my first experience having all my clothing drenched …
That game back in late September — the one against Washington State — is one the Ducks remember. That was the first time this season when Oregon was exposed, offensively and defensively speaking. I bring this game up because Cal reminds me of Washington State on offense. They pass the ball nearly as much as Washington State … look no …
The Oregon Ducks take their two-game winning streak to Santa Clara this week, in search of another victory over the Golden Bears of the University of California. We at FishDuck.com/soinlovewithmariotawemightjustpop like to take a slightly different look at the team, and the state that we are about to encounter. Everyone knows that Governor Tom McCall once invited Californians to spend to their …
Put it in the books Coach, we’ve got a record-breaker in the building! Marcus Mariota never ceases to amaze me as the season continues. After this past weekend’s game against the Washington Huskies, Mariota has pushed the Ducks streak of points in each game by a pass play to 60 straight games. A new Pac-12 record! Not only did Mariota …
In an interview for FishDuck.com, I got a chance to talk to OLB Tony Washington about the upcoming game while at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. It’s big. It’s loud. It’s Levi’s Stadium. In the first college game ever played at the 49ers new home, you can imagine how excited some of the players are to take the field. Eh, actually, …
Last week I looked at the advantage the match-up at home gave the Ducks against the Huskies. This week’s game in California isn’t a home game for the Ducks, but its looking as if it won’t be for the Golden Bears either. Friday night’s game is going to be played at the home of the San Francisco 49ers, the new billion …
Were you grinning at halftime of the Husky game as I was at our 28-6 lead? It did not go at all the way I thought, as we all were pleasantly surprised. Of course I have an irrational hatred of the Huskies, hence my highly disproportionate joy over defeating this foe compared to other games. We have won 11 times straight over …
Football Recruiting Visits Oregon’s 11th straight victory over the “not-so-noisy northern neighbors” paid big dividends along the recruiting trail as several big names were in town to take in the spectacle that is Autzen Stadium. Among the visitors, tabbed athlete Tevis Bartlett (3-Star/Cheyenne, WY) found himself smack in the middle of Oregon’s plan going forward. “Coach (Don) Pellum and coach …
This morning I interviewed Marcus Mariota and Hroniss Grasu at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex after practice. One of the biggest topics of discussion going into this week’s game against Cal is how preparing for a Friday game is affecting the players. The boys, as well as the fans, are all used to a Saturday battle (and a Thursday every now and …
