Not much is known about Ohio State’s Cardale Jones, other than that he took over for injured quarterback J.T. Barret after he went down during a game against the Wolverines. In two starts for OSU, Jones has been playing exceptional football throwing six touchdowns and one interception. On top of that, his passer rating is currently 159.0, which all in …
It was reported by 247sports two days ago that LSU might have some vested interest in Oregon Defensive Coordinator Don Pellum. While Duck fans should not worry about Pellum making any decision in the very near future (he is obviously focused 100% on Ohio State right now), should we be worried about Pellum leaving after the season is over? Coach Pellum has been …
It’s happening again. Oregon fans are getting absolutely sick of hearing roster news midweek this season, especially this week, but here it comes. Again. According to CSNNW’s Aaron Fentress, another Duck has taken a dive, and this one has no one to blame but himself. Darren Carrington, perhaps Oregon’s best, and certainly its hottest wide receiver, has tested positive for marijuana and been …
Ladies and gentlemen, the facts, simply stated, are these: If the Ducks win the National Championship Game next week I can … Having been a Duck fan since the late 70’s … … and living among mangy Huskies since 1991 … … by golly, I deserve a national championship! But it isn’t enough that I deserve a Natty and that you …
Thank god for the College Football Playoff. The Ducks would have been left out of the national championship if the BCS system was still being used; the same goes for Ohio State. In the first year of the playoff, it has already been proven that the BCS was a faulty system. Next thing you know, the playoff is going to …
It’s Friday, and that means only one more weekend until the championship game. I don’t know about you, but I’m freaking out a little bit, in a good way of course. Oregon has a chance to be crowned the best team in college football for the first time ever. I don’t have to tell you that this is a big …
Fact: The winner of the BCS championship game has been favored by Las Vegas for the last seven years. This year, Oregon is favored by seven points. Even with that trend, statistics nerds and wiseguys check out Dave Bartoo‘s College Football Matrix before putting down a double sawbuck on the game. Bartoo predicts every college football game for upcoming year …
I don’t want to say it, I really don’t. But I can tell no lie; Ezekiel Elliot is a stud. The Ohio State sophomore has rushed for 1632 yards and 14 touchdowns this year and might be the best running back the Ducks have seen to date. Containing the running game could be Oregon’s biggest challenge in the national title …
Amidst all the x and o analysis flying back and forth over the National Championship Game on Monday, it’s easy to forget that some of these players weren’t even starters when the season began. Despite the frenzy of speculation over responding to the up-tempo offense, defending the deep ball or stopping the run, one of the most important factors both …
Just when you thought the awards might be over, they keep coming. The Associated Press announced its All Bowl Team, as reported yesterday by 247sports.com. And as expected, Marcus Mariota was selected as the most valuable bowl season quarterback. To go along with Mariota, Troy Hill was selected as one of two cornerbacks, further helping to represent the University of Oregon. You might say that this …
Sorry Duck fans, its not what you think. Today the College Football Playoff announced they will offer travel assistance to the families of players for both Oregon and Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Championship Game. Duck fans, you’re still on your own to get to Dallas. For families of players, up to two parents or legal guardians can …
Ask any football analyst and they will tell you the difference between a good team and a championship team is timing. A great team that peaks too early can wind up crumbling while a mediocre team that peaks at the right time can win a championship. Oregon however is something very rare, a great team that is peaking at the …
