Football, like our real lives, has its ups and downs, and we canāt ignore either. So while I have some reservations about the new developments in the Oregon offense, I do acknowledge that some good things are happening and I wish to cover them, too. But in short, I do not believe you should deviate from the CK/MH offense if ā¦
You know how it is; Oregon Spring games are hard to truly gauge for accuracy going forward.

For the momentāI simply wish to give those who did ā¦
Today, weāre going to take a look at some possibilities for the Oregon DuckĀ offense, specifically the running game, this coming season. Weāre at a point in the offseason where we donāt know a whole lot about what the coaching staff is planning for this offense. Weāve seen a couple scrimmages so far that have told us a little, but after ā¦
In my discussions with retired college coach Ken Woody, we have noted the decline of the Oregon passing game beginning in 2016 and how far it appears to have descended.Ā Is it due to limited routes and pass plays, the lack of receiversā skills or a lack of confidence in the wide-outs?

The hiatus between the conclusion of spring practice, last seasons pratfall and next August is here. We have time, then, to reminisce, ruminate and regurgitate past gridiron games, both great, sad and unforgettable. Upon reflection, here are TEN of mine, indelibly engraved in my gray matter. They could be called The Good, the Bad and the Ugly circa the ClintĀ EastwoodĀ spaghetti ā¦
We really have no idea what to expect from aĀ Mario Cristobal-led Oregon team, as we certainly hope the Las Vegas Bowl was not an accurate indication of the future. Hence this spring has as many questions for me about the coachesĀ as it does about the players. Below I consolidate eye-witness reactions to the Spring Scrimmage at Portlandās Franklin High School ā¦
