Christmas break — time for fans to pump up for bowl games, and time for some college football players to think about moving up to the pros. The agreement between the NCAA and the NFL states that a player needs three years of participation in the college ranks before he can enter the NFL Draft. Redshirt years count, so a player …
A fire was sparked on the Scout.com message boards this week over Jason Staples’ Know Your Foe piece breaking down the strengths and weaknesses of FSU, Oregon’s last hurdle to clear before the College Football National Championship Game. While Florida State’s strengths are highlighted, the number three seed has plenty to fear with their 29-game-winning streak on the line against the …
It’s game day for the Ducks and this could very well be the game that makes (or breaks) their season. While most Oregon fans are happy to see their beloved Ducks back in the Pac-12 Championship Game, some are still nervous. Memories of failure from prior years still stick with some fans, and many pessimists around the country have waited …
Another game, another win, another stat sheet explosion for the Ducks. Marcus Mariota is all but assured the Heisman with his sixth game this season of 300 or more yards passing. Royce Freeman and Byron Marshall executed to perfection; both breaking the 100 yard barrier for rushing and receiving, respectively. So, can the Ducks carry that momentum into this weekend’s …
Jordan Ingram reporting for FishDuck.com from the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex Sunday night about the Coach Mark Helfrich press conference. After celebrating a lopsided victory over Oregon State in Corvallis, the Ducks turn to face Arizona in the Pac-12 Championship game. Following Oregon’s back-to-back regular season losses to the Wildcats, the rematch between these two teams now holds much heavier implications, most notably, …
Alabama gave up 630 total yards of offense to Auburn, yet somehow still managed to beat them. Florida State squeaked out another close victory against a mediocre team, meanwhile Florida freshman Gerald Willis got a chance to do what everyone wanted to see (below). To round out the top four, Mississippi State lost by double digits to Ole Miss. Now that …
Last night was one intense game to say the least. The 2014 edition of the Civil War featured a dominant performance by the Ducks as shown by QB Marcus Mariota throwing 367 yards and RB Royce Freeman gaining 135 yards. Plus, let’s not forget about the one and only RB/WR Byron Marshall recording 131 yards on six catches. The Beavers, however, couldn’t get anything going …
The Ducks came, they saw, and they conquered, and for the seventh straight year Oregon walked off the field victorious against their longtime rival in Corvallis. The mighty Ducks were the chief on Saturday night, and Oregon State was the unlucky sampler. Oregon gave the Beavers a little bit of everything. The Ducks sprinkled a little bit of Royce Freeman …
It’s game day and the anxious butterflies in my stomach are going crazy! Not only is it the last game of the regular season for our Ducks but it’s the Civil War game. I have heard people say that this is not a rivalry game but I can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t be, and it seems to be …
Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich was asked this morning about the obviously hand-made get well card reporters had seen stuck on the scooter that injured Ducks All-American center Hroniss Grasu is using to take the weight off his injured foot. The reporter who posed the question, exhibiting the sort of incisive investigative work that led to the Watergate revelations, wondered …
If you are an Oregon fan, chances are you woke up happy on Sunday morning. (Unless you really celebrated on Saturday.) That extra hour of sleep was nice, certainly. The enjoyment of that victory can’t be overstated. But the greatest source of happiness was things returning to normal again. Oregon is on top of the conference, and Stanford stopped pretending it …
The Oregon coaching staff has been adamant and clear about one thing all season long, and after seeing his performance on friday night, they might have to change their stance. Freshmen running back Royce Freeman had his third straight week of over 100 yards rushing in Oregon’s win against Cal. If he keeps having these type of performances, the coaching …
