Well, our Ducks got back to work on the field here in Eugene, OR, one last time before they all departed home for the holidays and, according to GoDucks.com practice reports from Friday and Saturday, it was a good week of practice. Our recent Heisman winner Marcus Mariota returned to the field with his teammates Tuesday morning after missing Monday’s …
A fire was sparked on the Scout.com message boards this week over Jason Staples’ Know Your Foe piece breaking down the strengths and weaknesses of FSU, Oregon’s last hurdle to clear before the College Football National Championship Game. While Florida State’s strengths are highlighted, the number three seed has plenty to fear with their 29-game-winning streak on the line against the …
Imagine this: Oregon loses to Florida State in the Rose Bowl. Allow that to sink into your mind for a second. Now, what if I told you that the Ducks lost to the Seminoles because of the poor support Marcus Mariota was getting from his offensive line. Most Duck or football fans in general should not be surprised if this …
Everyday that goes by puts us one day closer to the Rose Bowl on January 1st, quite possibly the biggest game of the season not only for us but also for many of our Ducks’ careers.

I gained a lot of respect for a certain fast food chain a few days ago. I never thought I would be saying this, but THANK YOU TACO BELL! Taco Bell has always been a pretty big influence on my life. Since I was a young lad in middle school I will never forget the week that the “Crunchwrap Supreme” …

Other than the game itself, Fuzzy enjoys the pep rally most. This year’s rally is called the Duck Block Party and will be held from 2-4 p.m., New Year’s Eve, on the …
Throughout this college football season, I have taken a great interest in the Florida State Seminoles, shockingly. They have been making headlines, but not for their usual blowout victories. Instead, Florida State has had several close calls, and fans of opposing teams are just waiting to see them lose. I knew that one day, if things turned out, the Ducks’ path would …
All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu gave his praise to Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston this week, telling reporters, “There’s a lot of Pac-12 quarterbacks that are really smart, but the difference between [Winston] and them is he’s able to throw it into those small windows.” Ekpre-Olomu’s respect is well placed as he has witnessed the threat Winston poses to opposing defenses. …
There is no official word yet from the University of Oregon’s Athletic Department, but the Ducks will likely be without their best defensive player when they play Florida State in Rose Bowl. According to sources, All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu suffered a major knee injury at practice yesterday. According to @Rand_Getlin #Oregon CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu suffered what appeared to be a torn …
Florida State, Oregon’s opponent in the upcoming Rose Bowl on January 1st, knows how to win. An established football tradition and excellent coaching are complemented by top recruiting classes attracted to the school of 32,000 in Tallahassee, year after year. As the ‘Noles prepare for their showdown with the Ducks, they have not-so-quietly put together the nation’s second-ranked 2015 recruiting …
