Something big is going to happen, Ducks fans. Call it good fortune, serendipity, or divine football providence. The No. 2 Oregon Ducks rolled to a 35-0 rout of the Purdue Boilermakers, easily handling their business on Friday night at Ross Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. Sure, the Boilermakers are Big Ten bottom feeders, but the Ducks (7-0) avoided the …
Our Oregon Ducks football program showed out this weekend. In one of the best games in team history, this back-and-forth bout lived up to the billing. The Buckeyes were swinging for 60 minutes, but the Ducks swung just a little bit harder and won Dan Lanning’s biggest win in his short tenure at Oregon so far. As for the team’s shining stars, …
Conferences are in charge of hiring, training, and assigning their referees to games. This is a dated approach that hasn’t changed in college football. It creates inconsistency among the conferences’ referees and leads to often inconsistent calls and drastically different ways of interpreting the same rules. Mr. FishDuck took some time away from his fun at stay casino 20 free …
Our Oregon Ducks football program had a huge defensive victory this past Friday over Michigan State. After a handful of chunk plays, the Spartans were held virtually motionless in the second half, and had zero answers for Oregon’s pass rush. Even with Dillon Gabriel playing arguably his worst half of football in his lengthy college career – the Ducks still hung 31 …
Congratulations are in order. After surviving a white-knuckle hell ride against the lowborn Bruins last weekend, the No. 6 Oregon Ducks put the “quack” back in “victory” after steamrolling the visiting Michigan State Spartans 31-10 on Friday night at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. Of course, I joke about UCLA. There’s nothing funny about a Big Ten basement dweller nesting in …
The old phrase goes, “Once a Duck, always a Duck” — but in this age of the transfer portal, does that even hold true anymore? Most teams have become revolving doors of players, and Oregon is no different as the UCLA Bruins have five former Ducks on their roster: Bryan Addison, Jaylin Davies, Jaylan Jeffers, Moliki Matavao and Keanu Williams. …
After a series of bizarro non-conference games, the No. 6 Oregon Ducks opened their Big Ten schedule with a 34-13 road victory over the UCLA Bruins in a midnight clash at the Rose Bowl. The Ducks improved to 4-0 for the second-straight season, gaining some traction in the AP rankings after backsliding due to underwhelming victories. Since sleepwalking past Idaho …
The old Pac-12 is dead and gone with its teams scattered across the country. But let’s pretend for a moment the old Pac-12 still exists and take the time to rank them. I pulled Mr. FishDuck from his fun at slot games online because he had some strong opinions about these rankings, so let’s take a look. 12. UCLA (1-2): …
Our Oregon Ducks football program took off offensively. Vertical passing, dominant rushing, and enough weapons to score in a hurry. Dillon Gabriel has firmly found his footing in this offense over the past couple of weeks, with Tez Johnson, Terrance Ferguson, and Traeshon Holden leading the way so far. As the season progresses, you can only expect this group to continue developing & dominating the conference. With …
The No. 9 Oregon Ducks have a bye this week after trouncing in-state rival Oregon State 49-14 last weekend in Corvallis. The Ducks (3-0) hit refresh after two weeks of weird, buggy nail-biters against less talented opponents that effectively deflated the preseason hype balloon. I pulled Mr. FishDuck from his fun at nové online casino to review the unusual position …
A rivalry is a special thing in any sport. They are a mixture of love and hate: love for one’s team and loathing for the opponent. They take years to develop and true rivalries form when both teams win and lose in close to equal measure. For much of their history, Oregon and USC didn’t have a rivalry — or …
Thank you, Ducks, for not laying a road egg versus the Pac-6 before my first take on Puddles’s Playoff Flight Plan… Here’s a look back at the College Football (CFB) week that offered a look ahead to Oregon’s championship hopes, and the next games that impact the College Football Playoff Picture. I will not be dissecting the Ducks prior week’s …
