Will The Coaching Carousel Kill Oregon’s CFP Chances?

Alex Heining Editorials

Today marks the first of the early signing day period, but nothing hangs heavier on Oregon football’s future than the potential loss of both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Now, if there’s anything the Ducks have learned to deal with this season, it’s adversity. Our Oregon football program has been dealing with injuries all season, and forced to step up …

Oregon Football: Will USC Keep It Close?

Alex Heining Editorials

Our Oregon football program is closing out the regular season with a pair of tough, familiar matchups: the Huskies and the Trojans.

Does Oregon WANT to Make the B1G Championship?

Alex Heining Editorials

Seems like a trick question, right? Well, it’s not as simple in 2025.  Winning the conference for the second straight season and earning a top seed in the College Football Playoff just doesn’t mean what it used to mean in years past. Overall, our Oregon football program has had a gritty yet successful reloading season through nine games. Close wins …

Could Oregon Miss the College Football Playoff?

Alex Heining Editorials

Our Oregon football program entered 2025 in a season we expected to be a rebuilding year. That turned quickly into a reload, and lofty expectations were set after an all-time poised performance by Dante Moore on the road in Happy Valley.

Oregon Football: Time for the Ducks to Panic?

Alex Heining Editorials

Unfortunately, there’s no getting around it: Our Oregon football program had a lackluster performance against the Badgers over the weekend. Wisconsin’s defense held the Ducks to only 21 points, where Oregon entered as a 31.5-point favorite at home, and this was just a poor showing overall. The Badgers were thin in the secondary, down to their third quarterback on the …

Oregon Football: Are the Ducks Postseason-Ready?

It’s early, but it’s already worth asking: Does this 2025 Oregon football team have what it takes to make a legitimate postseason run? Just eight weeks in, has this roster and staff shown enough to prove they’re ready for a real shot at the National Championship? Head coach Dan Lanning has Oregon sitting at 6-1, a record that some might …

Oregon Football: Week Seven’s Shining Star

Alex Heining Editorials

Our Oregon football program suffered a disappointing and stunning loss in Eugene against Indiana. Oregon got all-around beaten in their own place, and it was hard to watch for Duck fans.

Oregon Football: Where Does Dan Lanning Rank Today?

Our Oregon football program has sported some of the best offensive minds in the game, and now (almost poetically), Dan Lanning’s defensive prowess & passion have elevated Oregon into a true blue-blooded powerhouse.

Oregon Football: Is Moore the Best in the Country?

Alex Heining Editorials

My favorite part of this question about our Oregon football program? You’re probably asking, “Which one?” While the header image might be a giveaway, I’m going to pick the quarterback that I was DREADFULLY wrong about this offseason: Dante Moore. I had reservations in the spring about whether Dante could get it done as a first-year starter with Oregon, even …

Oregon Football: 2025’s Best Defender So Far

Alex Heining Editorials

Our Oregon football program has been firing on all cylinders since day one of the season, and a ton of young talent has started to rise up the depth chart. Alongside the young Ducks, there’s one player who’s shock-and-awed all three games of the season so far. My personal “Best Defender of 2025” entering week four is Bryce Boettcher. Mr. …

Oregon Football: Did We Underestimate Dakorien Moore?

Alex Heining Editorials

Our Oregon football program has been putting the nation on notice over the last two weeks, and expectations have shot through the roof for what this team’s capable of. One player who entered the season as a major potential x-factor was freshman wide receiver Dakorien Moore. Even Mr. FishDuck had to share his surprise with me about this new freshman, although …
