When Oregon offensive lineman commit Alex Redmond was considering what school he wanted to play for, he realized that in addition to hitting people, he also likes blocking out in space. So of course, when asked why he chose Oregon, Alex said “what better place to go?” There are many things that make Oregon’s offense go. Precise execution of the …
With National Signing Day creeping closer every day, Oregon is in good position to close strong. Oregon is still in serious contention for multiple blue chip prospects, such as: Derrick Green, Tarean Folston, John Ross, Max Redfield, Gareon Conley, Mike Mitchell, Peter Kalambayi, Myles Jack and Danny Mattingly. Adding a few of the aforementioned players would go a long way …
I have heard the mantra about the faceless opponent and that Chip never loses to a foe he shouldn’t; baloney. The first time will come and this Saturday is the PERFECT Trap Game for Oregon to stumble. Remember the let-down after Stanford last year? It is natural that our team would be flat for this game after such an enormous …
Exactly 15 years ago to date, Oregon traveled to Seattle Washington for a date with destiny. The sixth-ranked Huskies were undefeated in conference play; their lone loss coming at the hands of the #1 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers. Incidentally, Washington held the longest conference home winning streak, and Oregon was the last conference team to defeat Washington on Husky Turf during …
For the next three weeks, Oregon running back Kenjon Barner figures to get the majority of love from National media, as his Heisman campaign kicks into overdrive. Lost — or at least hidden — in the shuffle of Barner-mania is the performance of a young quarterback, unknown to much of the world just three months ago. Marcus Mariota’s story is …
Football Recruiting Visits Oregon’s 62-51 drubbing of the hated “southern smog,” appeared to have been the final straw. Sunday night, highly touted safety Max Redfield (4-Star/Mission Viejo, CA/Rivals#3-Rated S) broke away from his commitment with “Lane’s lackies” and intends to visit Oregon, a program he maintains is very much in the running to land his skill set. The 6’2″, 195 …
Oregon’s Ducks were coming off the four win, six loss 1958 season. The 1958 Ducks had been one of the great defensive teams in Oregon football history surrendering only 50 points over the course of 10 games. Unfortunately, the 1958 offense had been as inconsistent as the defense was consistent leading to most of the losses. 1959 would be Oregon’s …
We at FishDuck.com have been looking at the plays that Chip Kelly springs upon his opponents, and for this game we choose to look at a strategy that was first noticed by our Senior Football Analyst, Josh Schlichter. Most of the major media are focused upon Oregon’s No-Huddle tempo and conditioning as they report the Ducks’ football success. We believe that …
Call me old school. Call me a hater. Call me elitist. It’s probably all true. Two things drive me crazy when I listen to sports on TV or the radio – persons who are inarticulate, and hearing the same stupid clichés over … and over … and over … and over … “He ran for a buck seventy.“ When was …
We’re getting ready to enter the final 3rd leg of the 2012 football season. We’ve heard the “experts,” and heard the prognostications about how the BCS standings will be shaping up. The media is coy about where our Ducks will fall in the pecking order, and many are cautiously optimistic about Oregon’s chances to be in the BCS title game, …
For almost an entire year it was billed as this year’s version of “the game of the century.” With Matt Barkley deciding to return for his senior year, USC appeared to have the fast track to the Heisman Trophy and BCS national championship, the darlings of the off-season. Having defeated Oregon in Autzen Stadium last year, it was the Trojans …
Another week is in the books, and BCS chaos almost happened. All teams in the Top 5 looked to be on the ropes at one point or another until they finally demonstrated their dominance. After this weekend, I am officially a firm believer that Notre Dame has their own set of refs that give them calls when they need …
