Is the 2014 college football Heisman race even a question? There should only be one clear-cut favorite, right? It should be Marcus Mariota’s to lose, right? While the Ducks have been ranked second in the college football playoff standings the last two weeks Mariota, Oregon’s superstar quarterback, has been at the top of the Heisman list nearly all season. If …
I know, I know. Oregon enters the Colorado game a 40+ point favorite. In fact there are some books in Vegas that won’t take any action at all on this contest. Ah, but you and I, savvy sports fans that we are, know that danger always lurks in the Pac-12 — even in games played in broad daylight, like tomorrow’s tilt …
With the Colorado game looming closer, emotions are rising as this Saturday will be the last game for the Ducks’ seniors. These strong feelings in the home finale could ultimately fuel the Ducks into dominating the Buffaloes. When the Ducks played the Utes two weeks ago, the injury bug unfortunately struck the team, leaving some important holes for the Ducks to fill this week. …
The Ducks’ “Win The Day” slogan embodies just about everything that the Oregon football team stands for. You win by any means necessary, and you focus solely on the task at hand. Oregon has been winning a lot this season, but it hasn’t been easy. Despite battling through injuries, and even losing a few key players for an extended amount …
Well folks — another game, another opportunity for Super Mariota to extend the records he has already set for our Ducks football team. Every couple of weeks I like to write a small piece about Marcus Mariota‘s accomplishments thus far, and I think it’s about time for an update! There are just so many! I will simply offer a bulleted list, …
Defensive Coordinator Don Pellum is no stranger to preparing for top offensive weapons. Just this year he has readied his Ducks for the likes of Ty Montgomery, Kaelin Clay, Jeremy Langford — and the list goes on. With that said, few (if any) are scarier than Colorado’s WR Nelson Spruce. Spruce’s long list of accomplishments is enough for an entire article, but to keep …
Ashley Young interviewed Tony Washington at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex this morning for FishDuck.com. Wow. Two games left in regular season … can it really almost be over? This Saturday is the last game of the 2014 season in Autzen Stadium, but more importantly it’s the seniors last game in Autzen stadium. This weekend our Ducks will face the Colorado Buffaloes …
After having a second bye week, the Ducks are back in action preparing for this Saturday’s afternoon game against Colorado. This is going to be quite a special night for everyone as it’s the last game home game of the season. However and most importantly, this is “Senior Night!” This Saturday will be a magical night for the seniors …
Ashley Young of FishDuck.com interviewed center Hroniss Grasu during Tuesday’s press conference at the University of Oregon’s Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. The bye week is over; the pads are back, and the Ducks are officially back on the practice field. This Saturday’s matchup against the Colorado Buffaloes marks the last home game of the season for Oregon. The Ducks have outscored the …
Devon Allen, along with the rest of his team, has been through a lot recently. The two toughest defenses in the Pac-12 in back-to-back weeks would cause a lot of wear and tear for anyone, but for the Ducks, Stanford and Utah packed a special punch. If the injuries to Pharaoh Brown and Hroniss Grasu weren’t enough, the Ducks have …
The closer it gets, the more fathomable the dream of a title becomes. Win the final two regular season games against arguably the conference’s two worst teams. Get healthy, then a neutral-site matchup against whoever emerges from that clustered South division in a stadium that the Ducks are the only college football team to ever win a game in the …
Mike Merrell’s Three-and-Out Acting is a big part of football: the pump fake, the play action pass, the fake punt, fake extra point kicks or field goals, flea flickers, the Statue of Liberty, and regrettably, fake injuries. When done well acting is an art form, something you have to appreciate even when it’s some other team doing it to your …
