In a interview for FishDuck.com on Monday, I got to speak with Oregonās longest tenured football coach Gary Campbell. Oregon displayed a tremendous effort on both sides of the football in their win against the Washington Huskies this past Saturday. The Ducksā tenacious defense completely shut down Washingtonās run game, while only allowing 4.8 yards per pass. Furthermore, Oregon was ā¦
Much of the narrative for Oregon fans this season has centered on the uncertainty many have felt about the possible outcomes from week-to-week. In recent years, the Ducks had always been a near-certainty to defeat any team it was clearly better than; only in the last year or so has that certainty begun to shift. Prior to that return to ā¦
After the dust had settled on the field and the Oregon Ducks had come out victorious, Washington Huskiesā head coach Chris PetersenĀ said that the loss was āpretty disappointing.ā He went on to say that āwhen you play an elite team like [Oregon], one side of the ball has to be able to step up a little bit and make something ā¦
The history is there. The bad blood, the rivalry, Purple vs. Green, Washington vs. Oregon. Itās all there. Washington knows theyāve lost 15 of the last 20 games. They know they havenāt put up more than 25 points against the Ducks in the last 10 meetings. They know the Ducks are a national title contender, while UW isnāt even ranked. ā¦
āHate weekā, as the week leading up to the Oregon-Washington game is affectionately called, is almost over as the Ducks get ready to face the Huskies tomorrow. There are few rivalries in college football which rival the hatred between Duck and Husky fans. While Oregon State is our official rival, the real animosity and dislike is between Oregon and Washington. ā¦
In a interview with Ashley Young of Fishduck.com on Thursday, Coach Helfrich talked about this weekās game. This Saturdayās matchup against the Washington Huskies will prove to be a challenge for Oregon. After holding their own against UCLA last Saturday, Oregonās offensive line will have to top that performance this weekend. Washingtonās defense, which is led by linebacker Shaq Thompson ā¦
On Dec. 20, 1860, South Carolina, enraged by the election of Abraham Lincoln and the threat he represented to the slaversā way of life, seceded from the Union. The Union and Confederacy fought a four-year battle to pin the country together. With the help of superior manpower and resources (not to mention the might of right), the Union won the ā¦
Ashley Young of FishDuck.com interviewed Oregon quarterback Marcus MariotaĀ during Tuesdayās press conference at the University of Oregonās Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. With Oregonās prolonged summer weather seemingly coming to an end, and with the possibility of showers during thisĀ Saturdayās game against the Washington Huskies, Mariota felt confident he could find success throwing the football while simultaneously adjusting to the rain. āDuring my ā¦
Itās Breather Week for the Oregon Ducks, who are fresh off another easy win over Washington State. AĀ never-in-doubt, always-in-the-bag, easy-peasy lemon-squeezy win over the Cougars ā who were never in it. But, since we atĀ FishDuck.com/imaduckfanbornandaduckfanbredandillitalicizeduntilimdead arenāt just Duck fans, but college football fans as well, we wanted to preview some of the conference games on the slate this week. ā¦
Itās only two weeks into the season and weāve already seen some great games in the Pac-12. A few teams have already shown that they learned from last yearās mistakes and are much improved while other teams are showing that we might have given them a little too much credit. Letās take a look at two teams whose stock is ā¦
1. You (likely) donāt live in South Carolina. After brutal beatdowns by a combined 48 points, both of South Carolinaās major universities are suffering from opening day hangovers that wonāt be soon forgotten, even with copious consumption of bourbon and barbecue. If you also observed that poor Clemson fan the cameras repeatedly panned, with head in hands, play after disappointing ā¦
After months of waiting, we are finallyĀ just hours away from the first Saturday of college football. The Pac-12 has six teams ranked in the preseason Top 25 and five of those teams play on Saturday. Glancing at the schedule, itās hard to not expect the Pac-12 to come out still standing strong on Sunday. Letās take a look at the ā¦
