It is time. We have all discussed in the Our Beloved Ducks forum how Oregon has clearly not completely opened both the defensive and offensive playbook over the course of this 2024 season. We agreed that it made sense to save unique plays, and new sequential plays off our base plays for the Playoffs…and that time has come. To beat …
Is Oregon Finally Getting the Respect It Deserves?
Oregon was the only undefeated FBS team this season, and yet it feels like the Ducks have been repeatedly ignored on the national stage. Part of this feels warranted as the Ducks have done exactly what they were supposed to do every single week: win. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his fun at Bet Sixty to share his …
Are Duck Fans Suffering from PTSD?
What a season it’s been for the Oregon Ducks. The team went 12-0 through the regular season and then on Saturday night they secured the B1G Championship by defeating Penn State. The Ducks have done what few predicted in their first year; they have defeated all the B1G blue bloods on their way to going undefeated. Even Mr. FishDuck spent …
Cry Havoc and Release the Ducks of War
On Saturday against the Washington Huskies, we finally saw the full vision of Dan Lanning’s defense. From the moment Lanning got to Oregon he has talked about his defense creating havoc. Havoc does not always come from sacks or tackles for loss, but from causing disruption — though the best ways to create disruption is by putting the opponent behind …
No. 1 Oregon Humiliates Washington to Finish Perfect Season
Ah, the sweet smell of redemption. The No. 1 Oregon Ducks, perched atop the college football universe, have smashed through their inaugural Big Ten season like a hippo in a Hobby Lobby. Following their 49-21 dismantling of the Washington Huskies on Saturday in Eugene, the Ducks have avenged last year’s stinging defeats and closed the regular season a spotless 12-0 …
Oregon Received a B1G Welcome in Wisconsin
Every former Pac-12 team has had its B1G football awakening this season. USC was pounded by Michigan and Minnesota this year. Neither was a high-scoring affair, though higher scoring than Oregon and Wisconsin. Washington lost to Rutgers in a close game in its first conference road trip, then managed to edge out Michigan at home in a slug-fest before getting …
Oregon Ducks Football: Just Win.
There’s no way around it: The Oregon Ducks football program did not have the game they expected in Wisconsin. They played out a hard-fought slugfest that ended with the knockout blow being a game-winning interception from none other than Matayo Uiagalelei, this game’s clear defensive MVP. He clinched the game on a batted pass and earned the Ducks their lowest-scoring …
Oregon Ducks Football: What We Learned vs Maryland
Our Oregon Ducks football program lined up for its 10th game of the season this past Saturday, taking on the Maryland Terrapins in Autzen Stadium to continue their perfect regular season run. The final score ended up being 39-18 with the Ducks on top, but this was certainly far from the product we might have expected after how the team’s …
No. 1 Ducks Silence Maryland to Stay Perfect
The college football meat grinder was on full display in Week 11 when unranked Georgia Tech upset No. 4 Miami, and Ole Miss toppled No. 3 Georgia. As the machine churns, mangles and moils, the Bulldogs and Canes’ losses are stark reminders that any given Saturday in November has the potential to send a program’s national championship hopes tumbling into …
Should the Heisman Award Date be Moved?
The Heisman Trophy is awarded to the best player in college football for his body of work throughout the season. The final ballots are received by December 9, after conference championship games, and the award ceremony is held on December 14. This is a normal timeline for the greatest award in college football. However, this timeline doesn’t make sense in …
Oregon Ducks Football: What We Learned in Ann Arbor
Our Oregon Ducks football program was not the team out west this weekend, but the No.1 team in the country that flew east to Ann Arbor for a heavyweight bout with 2023’s national champions. Unfortunately, week ten wasn’t as kind to the Wolverines. Oregon dominated from start to finish in a hostile environment of 110,000 where they never trailed. The …
Oregon Ducks Football: 3 Keys to Beating Michigan
Our Oregon Ducks football program will travel this week to Ann Arbor after a complete demolition of Illinois in Autzen. The Ducks have started the season undefeated and don’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. As a new addition to the Big-10, this was expected to be a tougher matchup for Oregon. Instead? The Ducks have owned every game …
