If this article was written a month ago it would be rather uncomplicated, but Chip Kelly recently took a shot at his former team and Dan Lanningās absolute brilliant 12-man on the field play that sealed the Oregon win over Ohio State back in October. In saying that Oregon needed 12 players to beat them, it diminished the success and ā¦
So many of the āGreybeardā Oregon fans on the Our Beloved Forum recall the days in the 1970s, when both Oregon and Oregon State were equally bad. I was chatting with Mr. FishDuck and pulled him from his fun at sports betting online to ask him who, among our many coaches, changed his opinion most about the direction of the ā¦
For those still reeling from the Oregon Ducksā 49-3 loss in Week 1 to the Georgia Bulldogs, letās take a walk down memory lane. The anticipation amongst Oregon fans heading into the 2009-10 football season was off the charts. Mike Bellottiās successor, offensive wunderkind Chip Kelly, was set to debut his unabridged offense in Oregonās season opener at then No. ā¦
There is no doubt that the Chip Kelly era at Oregon was a magical time. Kellyās four-year tenure as Head Coach of the Oregon Ducks was the greatest run in Oregon football history. In those four years, the Ducks went 46-7 and played in three āBCSā bowl games and one national championship game. Oregon was the coolest, flashiest, and most confident ā¦
Mario Cristobal is gaining control over the Pac-12. It hasnāt always been pretty, but right now Oregon is the only Pac-12 team ranked and there are currently only three Pac-12 teams with enough wins to qualify for a bowl game. More Pac-12 teams will qualify for bowl games this year, but entering Week 11 with only one team bowl eligible ā¦
This is the official GameDay thread for discussing the game with UCLA before it begins, during and after the game ends. Yours-truly will have a game reaction article on Sunday, and an Opinion-Editorial article on Monday, so letās have some fun pondering it all. I regard this game to be a tough match-up for the Ducks because of how well ā¦
As Oregon fans, we have been spoiled over the years with exciting and high-powered offenses. In the best of those years, the offense was paired with what could be described as a ābend but donāt breakā defense. Oregon was not a recruiting power during the Kelly-Helfrich era and therefore did not have the talent to put together a dominating, lock-down defense. Well, ā¦
And Iām talking about offense. Yes, Charles Fischer isnāt the only one at FishDuck.com who has problems with Mario Cristobalās handling of the Oregon offense. I wrote a few articles during the 2019 season, hammering Cristobal for the lack of explosiveness and his underutilization of Justin Herbert. Iāve said it before and Iāll say it again: I love everything Cristobal ā¦
It wasnāt going to happen, but if Chip Kelly could have returned to Oregon againāwould you have wanted him back? This is an interesting question because a ton of people have declared that āFishDuck wants Chip Kelly back, and would have passed on Mario Cristobal.ā Iāll give you my answer on that if you give me yours, and we can ā¦
Over the past week, the Ducks added five-star offensive tackle Kelvin Banks and four-star offensive lineman Cameron Williams. The two are just the latest of highly ranked offensive line recruits to chose Oregon over some of college footballās premier programs. With head coach Mario Cristobalās experience and passion for the position, it is becoming quite apparent that Oregon is becoming ā¦
Rich Brooks had a record of 91-109-4 while he was head coach at the University of Oregon. He did not have a single season of 10+ wins (although he coached when there were fewer games, making 10+ wins harder to obtain), had only one conference championship and one bowl win in a whopping 18 seasons in Eugene, and finished a season ā¦
Turnover differential is one of the most important stats in all of football, and perhaps no team in all of college football exemplifies that more than the Oregon Ducks. For a long time now, the Oregon Ducksā turnover margin has determined the teamās fate. Oregon has generally been one of the best programs in college football since the start of ā¦
