How do you create a shutout of an Arizona team that averaged 46 points a game? What are some of the subtle coaching points utilized by our Defensive Staff? This game was subject-rich on the offensive side of the ball, and we saw the “Bennett and the Beast” backfield, we defeated the “30 Stack” defense, and yet we may never …
During Oregon’s 49-0 domination of Arizona on Saturday night, many in the press box began to flip through the record books, no doubt scouring the defensive section to see where the Ducks’ performance ranked all-time. Oregon, whose first-string defense rarely got to play more than a quarter and a half in their three non-conference games, saw Arizona enter their redzone …
Every week Kurt Liedtke (better known as Keeerrrttt1), co-owner of FishDuck.com, creates video blogs (vlogs) to update all you fine folk on all things FishDuck, a free-form discussion of current events about Oregon Ducks sports and all that’s new with FishDuck.com, with the occasional off-topics or rants. It’s a little off-the-cuff, perhaps slightly pretentious, somewhat rambling, and hopefully entertaining…so kick …
On a crisp, cool night at a raucous Autzen Stadium, the feel of big-time football was finally back in the air. With the 22nd ranked Arizona Wildcats in town, conference play for the Ducks had returned. Oregon, after three straight blowouts, giving zero indication as to who they really were facing a rather soft out-of-conference schedule, entered the stadium clad …
Another week is in the books, and after all the games have been played I still feel like I will see Alabama playing Oregon for the national championship this year. Both teams seem to be having everything click on offense and defense at this point, and are separating themselves from the rest of the competition. Also, with conference play starting …
After three non-conference matchups to start the season, the Oregon Ducks open up Pac-12 play tonight when the Arizona Wildcats come into Autzen…And what a night it could be. The Wildcats, led by first-year head coach Rich Rodriguez, come in averaging over 600 yards per game, and promise to give Oregon its biggest challenge so far in this young season. …

On Saturday, Autzen Stadium will be the furthest possible point from traditional football. The Arizona-Oregon battle will be a duel of spread offensive gurus going at it, combined with a 3-3-5 vs. 3-4 Hybrid defensive showdown. Last year, Oregon ran all over the Wildcats in Tucson, and will be looking to do much of the same on Saturday. While Arizona …
Oregon fans are enjoying another great season of football, currently 3-0 with a tough test coming up this weekend. Last week, and the rest of the season, are somewhat bittersweet though, something is missing. For the first time in what feels like forever, neither the heat-seeking missile that was #20 John Boyett or the mighty rock in the middle #77 …
For most of the past two decades, Oregon’s most successful stretch in history, the attention surrounding Oregon football has been focused on the high-powered offense. In recent years, it has been easy to forget that the Ducks have seen just as many outstanding defenders. Exciting offensive players like LaMichael James and Jonathan Stewart may have spoiled fans in the modern …
Basketball Recruiting Visits While Oregon’s 63-14 thrashing of “the lesser Tennessee” led the weekend headlines, basketball head coach Dana Altman quietly placed the Ducks in the lead to secure combo guard Darin Johnson (3-Star/Sacramento, CA/Rivals150). “After this visit, Oregon (is) definitely my number one school,” said Johnson. “The visit was great.” A 6’4″ hybrid wing, Johnson’s shooting ability, mixed with …
