This year there has been plenty of fanfare around the LA schools, especially with their imminent departure from the Pac-12 in 2024. This season it indeed feels like the LA schools are playing at a much higher level than they have in years. Lincoln Riley has given new life to USC by his use of the transfer portal, which brought …
Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers announcer Vin Scully famously said, “Losing feels worse than winning feels good.” And for the past seven weeks, the No. 10 Oregon Ducks (6-1, 4-0) have worked hard not to feel the sting of defeat that struck so swiftly in their season-opening loss to the reigning national champion Georgia Bulldogs. But Oregon isn’t merely avoiding a loss …
Our Oregon Ducks Football program gets another chance to make a big, national splash by beating the Bruins tomorrow in Autzen. However, a win’s not going to come easily. This season has been unlike anything we’ve seen from the Bruins in the better part of a decade. UCLA’s been hot from the jump, and it comes as a bit of …
We’ve taken a good look at the Oregon Ducks run game the last few weeks, but today, we’re going to take a dive into their passing attack. The Ducks offense is averaging roughly 271 yards per game through the air this season, and quarterback Bo Nix is a top-10 passer with a 70% completion rate. The Ducks are a very …
So far Oregon’s special teams haven’t been anything special. However, that isn’t entirely a bad thing, as the worst thing special teams can be is a liability. They have, at least not been, that. Oregon’s special teams have simply not been a hindrance but they haven’t been game breaking, either. Head Coach Dan Lanning and Special Teams Coordinator Joe Lorig …
If Miami Hurricanes head coach Mario Cristobal left a lasting legacy in Eugene, a strong and experienced offensive line was his parting gift to the No. 12 Oregon Ducks football program. While Ducks quarterback Bo Nix has stolen the show with his dynamic playmaking abilities and high football IQ — leading the Ducks to score 40-plus points in five straight …
Our Oregon Ducks’ football season has been a spectacular one so far. Head coach Dan Lanning has assembled a really strong coaching staff that has progressively improved week after week. Mr. FishDuck himself has taken time away from his college football betting to savor what the Ducks are achieving. Now, if you’ll recall, we began this season touching on a …
As Oregon fans, we heard all about physicality from former HC Mario Cristobal over the last four years. Cristobal is gone now, and what we have seen over the past six weeks has been eye-opening in terms of what a physical team looks like. It used to be that the more physical team was simply the bigger team that could …
Our Oregon Ducks football program is coming off a handful of convincing wins over the past few weeks. Since Stanford always is a tough out against the Ducks, it’s nice to knock them off with ease for once. Now, with sights set on Arizona for this weekend, are the Wildcats the usual pushover team they’ve been in the past few …
Through the first five games of the season, the Counter has arisen as a favorite of Coach Kenny Dillingham and the Oregon offense. The Ducks are averaging 229 yards on the ground and are the No. 10 rushing offense in the nation. Part of their formula to success has been their ability to efficiently execute a number of different Counter …
— The No. 13 Oregon Ducks (3-1, 1-0) and Stanford Cardinal (1-2, 0-2) have their 86th matchup on Saturday at Autzen Stadium (The Ducks first played Stanford in 1900). Stanford holds the upper hand at 54 overall wins. Last year, the Cardinal spoiled then-ranked No. 3 Ducks’ dreams of a College Football Playoff birth, handing Oregon one of just two conference …
Kenny Dillingham’s offense has taken fans by storm and is a breath of fresh air after the previous administration. His system is dynamic and gets players into space to make big plays, but Dillingham is also not afraid to put in a jumbo formation and power the ball forward in short-yardage situations. It is a nightmare for opposing teams to prepare …
