Not Pretty but Still Perfect: No. 1 Ducks Rally Late

Duck Dynasty Begins: Lanning Gets Signature Win Over Ohio State

Like a majority of college football teams, the Oregon Ducks didn’t play this weekend, leaving a gaping void inside the green and yellow hearts eagerly awaiting the start of another exciting college football season.

Dan Lanning Has West Coasters Shook!
Dan Lanning, you absolute king. You must have noticed that Oregon is absolutely dominating on the recruiting trail right now. It is disgusting.

Is Developing Quarterbacks a Thing of the Past?
Tyler Shough is the only player since Marcus Mariota to start in multiple seasons for Oregon after not starting as a true freshman. Sure, Mariota is the greatest Oregon Duck of all time, but he left the team nine years ago, and during that time only Shough has pulled off what seems to be a pretty simple feat? So what has happened during …
