Andrew Shurtleff From a fan’s perspective, the Ducks have had a great start to this year’s schedule. They play three home games before October 1st, but don’t play any of them at home in the next consecutive weeks – which is crucial for maintaining fan stamina and spreading out the fun. Some fans may not like having an FCS team …
Andrew Shurtleff The bad news: Marcus Mariota is struggling with accuracy, the inside run game looked pretty pathetic against a sizable defensive line, Byron Marshall couldn’t find any room, offensive play calling was highly questionable and third down conversions didn’t come as easily this time around. The good news: none of that matters at this point. As one pundit put …
Andrew Shurtleff Virginia gave it their best shot against Oregon today but came up short, losing 59-10. Despite the score, Virginia will be able to take a few positive things into their bye week. The offense and the defense showed signs of life throughout the whole game but just not enough to keep Oregon from getting the “W” and putting …
Week 2 is in the books and the excitement has only just begun. We have had some great upsets again this week, along with some surprise results. Alabama had a week off to get ready for “Johnny Football,” while most of the Top-10 took care of business. One thing to pay attention to right now is how long can the ACC …
OokaBoo.com This beautiful fall afternoon, yellow-and-green clad Duck fans filed into Scott Stadium from all across the eastern seaboard — and points west — for the kickoff against the Virginia Cavaliers. This remarkable Oregon team left them plenty of reason to stand and cheer. The Duck offense erupted for four touchdown plays of 30 yards or more, and the offensive and defensive lines …
readthehook.com This week Oregon plays in Charlottesville, Virginia, at 12:30 pm Ducks time. The Virginia Cavaliers are coming off of a 19-16 home victory over BYU, with good performances from three marquee players. I visited Charlottesville years ago and I remember it as a town with a good number of historical attractions, an easy air about it and, though …
S39.photobucket.com Good morning Duck fans! It’s Virginia Day for the Mighty Quack, as the Ducks take it on the road for a game about which they can’t be as cavalier as they were about Nicholls State University State College University, or whatever they are calling themselves now. Since we don’t venture into the ACC all that much, and have …
Kevin Cline Now that we are officially one game into the season, I can breathe a sigh of relief and satisfaction at finally having watched an Oregon Duck football game again. As expected, there were very few surprises about Saturday’s game. And, given the predicted outcome, here are five things that did not, in fact, surprise me: Mark Helfrich kept it under wraps Oregon …
Graeme Main/MOD It’s Go Time. The Eagles’ final roster is set, their carefully concealed offensive plays and defensive looks are being practiced in secret, and a much-hyped season opener will finally arrive Monday, September 9th, at 4 pm against Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. (I’ll be at the McMenamin’s Backstage Bar, behind the Baghdad Theater in Southeast Portland, …
Kevin Cline As Duck fans, we have to face the facts. Stanford beat us last year. That night they were the better team. Don’t anybody accuse me of “woulda, coulda, shoulda,” because I don’t have any. It’s the responsibility of the superior team to put enough distance between itself and the competition such that it doesn’t come down to a …
Kevin Cline Every elite quarterback covets a great wide receiver (not to say that Oregon’s starting receivers aren’t good enough, because we all saw how well they played last Saturday), cue fresh-off-the-boat true freshman Devon Allen. The 6-foot-0, 187 pound wide receiver from Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix, Arizona, was also one of the country’s top hurdle and sprint …
