from video Ten years is a long time. A gloriously long time. On Saturday afternoon, the Oregon football team capped a decade of dominance against their most hated rival, the Washington Huskies. The Ducks controlled the game and won convincingly, 45-24. While watching the game yesterday afternoon, it was hard not to think about “The Pick.” Arguably the most iconic moment …
I was starting to get worried that too many teams would finish the season undefeated, until today. As the season goes on we are finally getting to see the upsets. Upsets are what we live for in college football, as long as our team isn’t on the wrong end of the stick. Watching the impossible become possible is what …
Kevin Cline Tomorrow, the 2nd-ranked Oregon Football team will face a sizeable challenge in Seattle. A confident pack of Huskies are fired up over their close loss to Stanford, and ESPN Gameday will be on campus for the first time ever. This game against the 16th-ranked Huskies is supposed to mark the first true test for the Ducks in 2013. Most prognosticators still …
Cliff Grassmick It was fun to watch Jeremiah Masoli get there, and when Darron Thomas got there — it helped to take us to the National Championship game. I am referring to the Advanced Stage of Zone Reading that few quarterbacks rise to, as it has become evident to me in the last two games that Marcus Mariota has crossed …
Kevin Cline If you’re expecting Oregon to finish high in the recruiting rankings this year, then prepare to be disappointed. Last week, I went against popular opinion and explained why I thought Oregon would be taking a relatively small 2014 recruiting class. Now it looks like they might take an even smaller class than I suspected. On Tuesday, Justin Hopkins …
Kevin Cine Week 5 of college football is over. No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon are still clearly the top two teams in the country, while the remainder of the top five held their spots for the third consecutive week. The Ducks are closing in on Bama’s endeavor for supremacy, however, and with that, the teams left on the schedule become increasingly important to …
Kevin Cline Those expecting the Ducks to finish high in this year’s recruiting rankings should think twice. While the quality of recruits should be high, the quantity may not be. Oregon’s recruiting got off to a hot start but then quickly slowed, with very little activity in the past couple of months. Expect that to change in October, but nonetheless, …
from Video Call it a tale of three birds: the Eagle, the Ducks and eating crow. Or maybe, just maybe, you can call it the ultimate validation of Oregon football on a grand scale. When Monday Night Football debuted on September 9, one could feel the eyes of the sports-watching nation focused resolutely on the game between Washington and Philadelphia. …
Kevin Cline If you’re a Ducks’ fan or an NFL team in the market for a physical defensive back with great ball skills, then Ifo Ekpre-Olomu is a guy you want to keep your eye on this season. Simply put, he is a ball hawk who has the aggressiveness to legitimately project as a boundary corner in the NFL. Ekpre-Olomu can …
Kevin Cline Mark Helfrich may have just coached his third game at the helm of the Oregon Ducks, but Saturday was his inauguration. A national audience watched the Ducks overwhelm and dismantle the Tennessee Volunteers 59-14, looking every bit the No. 2 team in the country. Not many fans and pundits nationwide looked at big wins over Nicholls and Virginia …
This week we had a few exciting matches that will really let us know who is a contender and who is a pretender. We have fans in Eugene and Tuscaloosa feeling pretty good right now, while fans out in Lincoln wish they only had to play one half of football. I also think we can change a few names on …
www.sports-logos-screensavers.com Good morning, Ducks. The Tennessee Volunteers venture out West this week, expecting to be the next recipient of a savage beating at the hands of the good guys. According to Vegas the second half will be largely played by the Vols v. Sheldon High School’s Women’s Chorus. Regardless of the outcome of this Saturday’s bloodbath, kudos for sure, to …
