Recently there has been a lot of chatter about the best one loss team in college football. It is a fair question, since the season is winding down and there are a massive pile of teams vying for only a few playoff spots. So what does Oregon need to do in order to set themselves apart from the crowd? Well, …
Boy, how dominant has our Oregon Ducks football program looked over the past few weeks? If you missed Our Beloved Ducks’ stellar performance against the USC Trojans this weekend, it was about what you’d expect (and more) for Oregon. The energy was electric, and our offense went up and down the field routinely through the run and passing game, which both thrived …
It has been absolutely delightful as Duck fans to watch USC’s problems, not only this year but over more than a decade at this point. For the record, Oregon fans are not jealous of what USC has or had, because we are on our own journey. We simply take great pleasure in watching USC’s downfall and struggles. And perhaps our …
As I write this article, according to ESPN, the Oregon Ducks sit as the number two passing offense in the nation as it relates to yards per game, at 339. A lot of that has to do with the shear amount of talent on offense, including a quarterback in Bo Nix who has seen just everything a defense can throw …
Let’s remove the questionable penalties from the equation, talking about them at this point isn’t useful, and I am tired after this game ended after midnight on Arizona time. Mr. FishDuck took some time away from his fun at Ohio sportsbooks to agree with me about how this game transpired. The drop-off from the first two cornerbacks to the second …
USC has a very good offense, and they have needed it, as their defense as been nonexistent this year. With Caleb Williams and receivers like Brenden Rice, Tahj Washington, Mario Williams and Zachariah Branch, it’s easy to see why USC has one of the most feared passing attacks in the country. Mr. FishDuck some time away from his fun on …
The Oregon Ducks offense is an absolute machine this season. According to ESPN, the unit is averaging 540 yards per game and 47.4 points per game. Those are averages that Oregon hasn’t hit since 2014 and 2012 respectively. Coach Will Stein has done a tremendous job taking over the Ducks offense and he has added wrinkles that have helped elevate …
For the second consecutive season under second-year head coach Dan Lanning, the Ducks are 8-1 with their only loss coming against a Top-5 team. Last year, the Ducks sputtered to finish 1-2 with losses to bitter rivals Washington and Oregon State, while pulling out a gutsy win against Utah with an obviously injured Bo Nix. This begs the question, how …
Our Oregon Ducks football team has been surrounded by an embarrassment of superstars all over the offense in 2023. While the defense has more than done its part to become one of the most stifling groups in the conference, the offense cannot be stopped after averaging just over 48.1 points per game (ppg) over the first 10 weeks. Even while sitting …
For three straight games the Oregon Ducks have absolutely throttled their opponents with well-designed offensive game plans. They may have started off slow against the Washington State Cougars and given up garbage time points, but the game plan left no doubt who was in control of that game. The Ducks defeated the Cougars 38-24. Then came the best game of …
By now, it’s become clear the No. 6 Oregon Ducks’ offense is loaded with talented skill-position players, like a football multi-tool, capable of scoring from anywhere on the field. Even Mr. FishDuck took some from his fun reading Today’s NFL odds, and listening to his Sports Betting Podcast to share his astonishment of the 2023 Oregon offense with me. Bucky …
It very nearly rained during the first half in Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Bo Nix threw an interception on the first play of the game, Oregon then forced two turnovers of their own, the special teams blocked a field goal and returned it for a touchdown, only to have it called back for an offsides penalty and a sideline interference call. The …
