Oregon’s run game in 2024 was good. At 13-1 with a B1G Championship under their belt, the Ducks were a very good team this year. However, the run game, like much of the offense in 2024, took a significant dip from 2023. That needs to change for 2025 as Dan Lanning and the Ducks will look to maintain their hold …
The Rose Bowl was the most embarrassing game of Dan Lanning’s career. Even if Ohio State goes on to win the National Championship this year, this game will leave a sour taste in the entire Oregon community’s mouth. Unlike Lanning’s opening loss to Georgia in 2022, this one just stinks. Against that Georgia team, the Ducks were massive underdogs and …
As New Year’s Day approaches, the bluster and banter over the Rose Bowl quarterfinal game between the No. 1 Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes has reached a fever pitch. Last weekend, the Buckeyes’ 42-17 throttling of the Tennessee Volunteers in a first-round College Football Playoff game at the Horseshoe changed the conversation in favor of Ohio State, while also …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
