We all know the Ducks are capable of posting ridiculous offensive numbers. However, one thing the team has yet to accomplish in the modern era is entering the realm of triple digits. Recently, Oregon has gained national attention for its explosive, high-scoring offense. Over the last three years, the team has averaged nearly 50 points per game on the way …
The Akili Smith Era was a special time at Oregon. Many fans remember Smith for his arm as well as amazing ability to scramble. Aside from Smith were also great rushers such as Reuben Droughns, Saladin McCullough who rumbled past opponents. However, such success never could have been achieved without one of the most under rated offensive line units in …

You knew this discussion had to begin: who WAS primarily responsible for the game plan and play calling on the field? I thought it critical because I developed a checklist of what we needed Chip’s replacement to be skilled at, and the only item on the list unresolved was GAME-PLANNING. I have detailed the unique attacks that Oregon has unleashed …
For the first time since 2007, the Ducks are dancing in the Sweet 16. Last weekend it was the Damien Dotson show, right? Or was it the Arsalan Kazemi show? Actually, it was Dotson, Kazemi, Singler, Emory, Loyd and every other Duck-player-on-the-team; at least that’s what it felt like. Watching the Ducks simply overpower Oklahoma State was nice to see because it …

© 2013 Gary Breedlove Photography In the competitive Pac-12 conference, any win is a good win. The Ducks seemed to bury the Arizona Wildcats early with a 6-1 lead, but a late Zona rally nearly cost Oregon a clean slate weekend. Luckily, the Ducks were able to hold on for a 7-6 win at PK Park on Sunday afternoon, finishing up …
For the better part of the last four years, Oregon senior E.J. Singler has been toiling around the University of Oregon program, steadily going about his business as if he were working a boring 9-5 job. The last remaining holdover from the Ernie Kent-era, Singler has quietly put together one of the best careers in Duck history, and continues to be …
I know we talk college football here, but can we really ignore all the March Madness going on around us? Congrats to the Ducks for not only winning the PAC-12 but also winning their opening tournament rounds and moving to the Sweet Sixteen. This proved the Ducks should have been seeded better. A 12th seed…and you won the PAC-12? No …
The 12th seeded Oregon Ducks took down 4th seed St. Louis Billikens Saturday in San Jose, 74-57. It should be blatantly obvious to everyone after this game that Oregon got no seeding respect from the selection committee.
