30fps.mocksession.com It was the logical choice for ESPN’s College GameDay: Washington, who was ranked 16th in the nation, and also a team coming off a three-point road loss to a top-five school, is now having their biggest rival — the nation’s second-ranked program — come to town in the highest-ranked matchup in college football last Saturday. Yet, the fact that …
from video Ten years is a long time. A gloriously long time. On Saturday afternoon, the Oregon football team capped a decade of dominance against their most hated rival, the Washington Huskies. The Ducks controlled the game and won convincingly, 45-24. While watching the game yesterday afternoon, it was hard not to think about “The Pick.” Arguably the most iconic moment …
from video Spirits were high in Seattle Saturday morning. Fresh off a narrow three-point loss on the road to Stanford, the Husky faithful were confident that this was the year, after nine failed tries in a row, that Washington would finally get the best of Oregon. An estimated 10,000 fans arrived by 3:00 AM for the first-ever appearance of ESPN’s …
college-football.findthedata.org Before the 1916 Game, Yale coach T.A.D. Jones inspired his players to victory when he unequivocally asserted, “Gentlemen, you are now going to play football against Harvard. Never again in your whole life will you do anything so important.” To many Duck fans this statement makes very real sense if you just exchange “Washington” for “Harvard.” Long before the end …
Craig Strobeck I know it’s early. I know I shouldn’t jinx it. But Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota is off to one heck of a start this season. Through only five games, he’s posted 1,358 passing yards, no interceptions, 338 rushing yards and 21 total touchdowns in leading the Ducks to a 5-0 start. The Mariota-led offense has posted more than 55 …
from Video There wasn’t a single upset amongst the top twenty teams in college football last Saturday, with the only losses by teams in the top twenty (#15 Washington, #16 Northwestern) coming to teams ranked higher (#5 Stanford, #4 Ohio State). The best chance for an upset came Saturday in the Georgia-Tennessee game. Trailing late by a touchdown, the Bulldogs …
Cliff Grassmick Despite already being two games into conference play, it could be said that the Ducks were concluding their preseason with Saturday’s matchup against Colorado. Oregon faced two rebuilding programs in consecutive weeks to start the Pac-12 schedule following non-conference play, leaving many to assume that Oregon would complete nearly the first half of its schedule without ever facing …
“When Offenses Attack” was the theme of the day. It seems that as the season goes on we are seeing more and more teams put up massive numbers of yardage and points. You have Baylor and Oregon averaging more than 50 points a game, easy. Clemson and FSU just dominate whoever lines up in front of them. Ohio State and Texas …
Cliff Grassmick The house was rocking. If Coach Mike MacIntyre had said pregame his team would be neck and neck with No. 2 Oregon midway through the 1st quarter, most experts would have laughed him out of the room. But there they were, hanging tough, down 15-10 at the 7:24 mark. Colorado’s leader said of their tenor to start the …
en.wikipedia.org A relatively unknown battle is taking place Saturday as the Colorado Buffaloes host Oregon and have a decisive statistic in their favor going into this contest. You see, Colorado has the 10th-best run defense in the country, allowing only 91 yards per game while Oregon, on the other hand, has the best rushing offense in the land, averaging 332.5 …
Craig Strobeck After four games into the season, a picture of what the Ducks will look like has started to emerge. Let me tell you, that picture is scary . . . for anyone who isn’t a Ducks fan. There are many reasons why teams should fear Oregon. Mariota, Thomas, Addison, Huff, Lyerla, Ekpre-Olomu, Mitchell . . . should I …
www.imgcollegeseating.com One game at a time, boys! Supposedly Amos Alonzo Stagg was the first football coach to deliver that admonition to his team. Stagg’s team never played the 2013 Colorado Buffaloes. Oregon’s mantra of “Win the Day” was fulfilled on the very moment that Colorado joined the Pac-12 . . . and immediately bent over for the proctological exam to …
