Christmas Came Early for Me This Year…

Don Marsh Editorials

Christmas came early for me this year–thanks to Our Beloved Ducks. That six-game win-streak between those two bad-bookend losses was as good a run as I have experienced in my nearly 50 years of watching Duck football. It reminded me of the first two years of Chip Kelly and The Blurrrr Offense. I do not remember a more dominant run …

Will ASU Destroy Oregon’s Playoff Hopes AGAIN?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

You remember. While our Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin was sweet–we should have been in the Playoff that year. We lost 31-28 to a 5-5 (at that time) Arizona State team…in a game that should not have happened. Stuff like that occurred with the prior coach, and even if the opponent has great players, such as BrandonAiyuk, whose 81-yard bomb …

Watch: OC Stein Burns Blitzes from Utah

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Analysis

I was surprised at some parts of the Oregon offensive game-plan versus Utah, as I did not anticipate these areas of Utah weakness that Offensive Coordinator Will Stein would attack. Often, coaches will attack from a schematic approach, or in terms of tempo, but I liked how OC Will Stein looked at matchups in the Utah game. He also noted …

Oregon to Emulate Utah’s Key Advantage?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

There is one key advantage that Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham has created that Oregon hopes to emulate during the Dan Lanning era with the Ducks, and it is a quality within Kyle’s staff that will show up in today’s game. I was not aware that the recruiting disparity was a large as it is, and thus this component has become …

Keys to the WSU Game That FishDuck is Watching For…

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Analysis

The Cougars of Washington State have a good team that has beaten both Wisconsin and Oregon State, but as a season progresses–teams figure out weaknesses from prior games, thus WSU has some exposed deficiencies that Oregon will attack. In fact I am quite confident that the Beavers, if they knew now what they did not know going into their contest …

Coaching Leads Ducks to a Loss

Ryan Robertson Editorials

Coaching is what defines a team. In 2010, Oregon’s coaching got them a spot in the BCS National Championship. In 2019, their offensive coaching was so poor that it made a potential NFL Hall of Fame QB look mediocre. And in 2023, at the midpoint of the season, Oregon’s coaching looks… suspect. It was the first possession of the second …

Lanning’s New SEC Strategy is WORKING

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

Is the SEC strategy actually new? No, but it is quite new to Oregon, and as a 37 year season ticket holder–it is something I’ve never witnessed with the Ducks before. I was enjoying my time playing on casino online Revolut, but had to take a moment to share my thoughts because head Coach Dan Lanning implemented this strategy without …
