Our beloved rivalry game with the Beavers has not only been renamed, but also particularly uneventful in the last decade (for majorityās sake).Ā Of the last 13 meetings, Oregon State has only managed two wins against our Ducks, however the most important of wins being in the Beavers favor: the LAST one. Our Ducks (particularly the defense) fell apart on national ā¦

Yes, I know. And I will happily embrace the name change you might be thinking of: Lou Farnsworth should now be known as āHomer Duck.āĀ So with that preliminary bit of honesty settled, letās look at the data, which actually gives objective support to my claims of a dynasty in this articleās title.

What does āItās better to be lucky than goodā mean? And how does this statement apply to Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens? In 2016 Mullens parted ways with Mark Helfrich after two disappointing seasons, and embarked on Oregonās first true head football coaching search in decades.

The Dawg Daze effect lingers. Iām getting a little panicky. Weāre running out of time to grunt, groan, and gas about the past, before lightning strikes and our Frankenstein comes back to life. Obviously, I am still shaking my head at our not-so-ducky 2016 season. Itās not helping me lose the belly fat I added trying to cushion the blows ā¦
The Pac-12ās best this year was no match for the Alabama. The Huskies boasted an impressive defense ā it held Alabama about 150 yards shy of its average per game production ā but the Tide controlled the game after Washingtonās second series. While the Pac-12 has made two of the three semi-finals under the current regime, there was barely restrained ā¦

Versatility is the calling card of the Oregon Ducks football program. Multi-threat athletes are at every position, giving the Ducks a huge advantage on the gridiron. Oregon football is recognized for its quarterbacks of the past such as Dennis Dixon, Darron Thomas, and Marcus Mariota andĀ their ability to fool defenses with a very diverse running and passing attack. Year in ā¦
After star receiver Devon Allen went down with a torn ACL in the Rose BowlĀ and Darren Carrington was suspended for theĀ National Championship Game and potentially half of the upcoming season, Oregon fans have spent the off-season without a clear idea of what the wide receiver position might look like going forward. Enter Jalen Brown: a 6-foot-1, 200-pound receiver overdue for ā¦
Oregonās 2014 season was one to remember. Its fans witnessed another 10-win season, multiple records broken, a berth in the National Championship Game and a Heisman Trophy winner in Marcus Mariota. Circumstances, as well as players, have changed as the team heads into the 2015 season. According to an article published by ESPN, Oregon was chosen to return to the ā¦
A couple weeks ago, I posted an article that listed the best Ducks to ever grace the NFL on the offensive side of the ball. Now, itās time to honor the best defensive Ducks in Oregon history.
