As reported by Scott Roussel at footballscoop.com earlier today, Oregon Offensive Coordinator Scott Frost was offered the position of Head Coach at Colorado State, but quickly turned down the offer. To most Ducks fans, it’s not news to be hearing offers coming in for Frost’s services. He works alongside Mark Helfrich, helping to orchestrate one of, if not the most potent offenses ever known to …
In the newest college baseball poll, released earlier this morning, the Ducks garnered one of their highest rankings ever. Although most experts consider Oregon State to be the better of the two Oregon teams, the Ducks have a strong chance at turning some heads this season in the Pac-12 after last year’s 44-20 performance.

If you recorded the Heisman Trophy ceremony, and your recording ran long (a highly recommended practice, by the way, given that the ceremony always goes over in time), you would have caught the first few minutes of the ESPN documentary “The U Part 2“, a follow up to the 2009 documentary (obviously titled, “The U”) about the University of Miami …
For all the football fans out there that watched Johnny Manziel‘s first career start, you saw exactly what I saw. Rushed, poor decisions, and bad throws were three key thoughts to assess Manziel’s performance, as the former college stud accounted for only 93 yards and two interceptions. If you asked any one out in that Browns clubhouse if Manziel was …
As yesterday marked the beginning of the college football bowl games, it also started the countdown for the Ducks showdown against the Seminoles on January 1.

When FSU and Oregon finally clash on New Years’ Day, a lot more will be at stake than just the winner moving on to the National Championship.

Jameis Winston vs. …
In this year’s inaugural College Football playoff, all but one coach have taken a team that they have coached in the past to a National Championship victory.

It has been reported by oregon.247sports.com …
With news of consensus All-American Ifo Ekpre-Olomu’s season-ending knee injury splashed all over college football pages and blogs from Tallahassee to Eugene, attention has been largely focused on the dire implications for a depleted Ducks’ secondary now forced to go up against last year’s Heisman winner, Jameis Winston, and a dynamic receiving corps led by Rashad Greene, a 6-foot senior …
Just like how it’s been all season long, Florida State is coming into a matchup against a team whose win-loss record is not as good as theirs. In fact, that’s been the story for the past two years. Florida State hasn’t lost a game since 2012, yet somehow they are marching into Pasadena to play the Ducks as a 9.5 …
Well, if there’s one thing we can say about the Ducks over the next few years, it’s that there will be a lot of people with a chance to replace Marcus Mariota under center.
