Put down that winter lawn fertilizer? Complete that final outdoor home improvement project before the weather changes? Costco it up? Take your dog on that hike you have been promising? Finally, unplug the toilet in that pesky half-bath add-on? Locate your old Groucho Marx disguise in the attic so you can “discreetly” purchase hemorrhoid cream? Or, just lounge around watching …
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 …
In one of my preseason articles I discussed candidates for Oregon’s new B1G Rivials, and on my list of five potential rivals, Penn State came in at No. 2. After Oregon’s 30-24 win in their house during their most celebrated tradition, it’s clear that the Oregon-Penn State rivalry is taking form. For the second time in less than a year, …
The No. 6 Oregon Ducks are walking into one of the biggest stages in college football on Saturday to tackle No. 3 Penn State before a raucous White Out crowd at Beaver Stadium. The College Gameday crew, including a likely shirtless Pat McAfee, will do their level best to draw all eyes to Happy Valley for a heavyweight rematch of …
After beating weaker opponents to go 4-0, the Ducks now face what could be their toughest game of the year at Penn State. Some keys: Defense As we painfully remember, Oregon’s defense was far from championship caliber in their final two games last season, the Rose Bowl and B1G Championship Game. Ohio State did anything they wanted offensively against the …
Our Oregon football program faces its biggest test of the season in week five: Penn State. The Nittany Lions are third-ranked in the country in AP voting, and the Ducks aim to take their spot from the sixth slot. Dan Lanning and company are tasked with game planning for a HUGE win on the road with a rock-solid offensive scheme, elite …
The Ducks are 4-0 but far from perfect, and the warm-up games are over. Penn State is coming up Saturday. The Nittany Lions are going to be the first real test for the Ducks this season, and the Ducks the first competitive team Penn State will face. For the Ducks’ Offense to find success against a top B1G team, they …
It is time to say adios to the game. At least take an extended break until Oregon State gets back on its feet (if ever). When both were in the same conference, there was a certain equality to the matchup that no longer exists. Over the past 50 years or so, Oregon State been the “little brother,” but being in …
On a Monday morning in November of 1957, I, Bob Prall, was told, “Last night some Oregon State University Aggies used a chain saw to cut up our wooden “O” on Eugene’s Skinner’s Butte. They are going to burn it in their homecoming bonfire on Friday night.” I was an officer in the Order of the “O,” and was asked, …
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. …
They may not match the record 15 players that the Georgia Bulldogs had drafted as part of the 2022 NFL Draft but give credit to the Oregon Ducks for trying! This past spring, the Ducks set a new school record with ten players as part of the 2025 NFL Draft class, and there are thoughts that number will be surpassed …
For two weeks in a row the Oregon defense has been exposed, though the final scoreboard may not show it. The Duck defense has a weakness in defending the run. Against Oklahoma State the Ducks gave up 144 total yards, which may not sound too bad as the bulk of Cowboys’ total offense came off only a few drives — …
