Our Oregon football program had a stunning performance on New Year’s Day, blanking Texas Tech’s high-flying offense 23-0. The Ducks did struggle with what I believe to be the best front seven in the College Football Playoff, but they made enough plays to polish off a complete demolition of the Big 12’s best. Now, Oregon looks ahead to next Friday …
My Dear Duck friends, I have watched enough film this week that I am resting very well these days. Film doesn’t lie. So much so, that I had to watch some games twice to make sure I wasn’t biased in my opinion about Texas Tech. I don’t believe the Red Raiders have the horses to make this a close game. …
Texas Tech Alum/Duck-Dad, Gives Insider Scoops The more you dig into Texas Tech football, the more you see that the brains and financial muscle moving the power pieces in Lubbock are chess players, not checkers. This was the year the Red Raiders put the Big 12 into checkmate. The past 20 years Tech football has been mostly good, a little …
Round 2 of the College Football Playoff is here, and since the bracket was announced it was almost an inevitably that No. 5 Oregon would meet No. 4 Texas Tech. Though this match-up was predicted so long in advance, there are still some questions that will only be answered on the field. Texas Tech’s Defense Texas Tech’s defense has been …
It is great fun to read what some of the best Oregon moments were for some of the best Duck writers and sportscasters such as John Canzano, Jerry Allen, Ken Woody along with a few of my own treasured memories as a Duck. John Canzano – Host of The Bald-Faced Truth “My favorite memory, it’s not a play, it’s not …
It does not seem we have seen this rendition of Oregon football play its best ball. Which begs the question: Will they? Here are some ramblings as I stew over Oregon’s upcoming Orange Bowl appearance against Texas Tech… The Second Half Letdown Against JMU I am not going to overreact to what happened to the Ducks in the second half …
Are you not entertained? Our Oregon football program hung a healthy 51 points on JMU in their first College Football Playoff game of the postseason, advancing the Ducks to the Orange Bowl against Texas Tech on New Year’s Day (Jan 1st, 12:00 pm EST). This is Oregon’s first postseason win since beating Jameis Winston’s Florida State Seminoles in 2014, creating massive implications …
Oregon took down JMU in the first round of the college football playoff and the first playoff game in Autzen. However, the game was a tale of two different Duck teams. Good Duck Let’s start with the good stuff. For two and a half quarters, there was plenty to be happy about. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break from his …
By any measure — spreadsheet, some nerd’s algorithm or Fat Joey’s Calzone and Sportsbook — the No. 5 Oregon Ducks‘ College Football Playoff opener looks like a formality dressed up as a national event. The Ducks open Saturday against No. 12 James Madison at Autzen Stadium as 21-point favorites — projected as a primetime belt-to-buns hardly worth pundits’ coveted analysis. …
It is my belief that if this season is to be considered a “success,” the Ducks must at least advance to the CFP semifinals. Even Mr. FishDuck took a moment from his fun at no KYC betting sites to agree with my standards. Here are my thoughts on all potential outcomes: A First-Round Loss The only way the Ducks could …
Our Oregon Football program has had some MAJOR wins as of late. Evan Stewart, Gary Bryant Jr., and Dakorien “Metro” Moore were all spotted at practice this week in limited action. That bodes extremely well for the Ducks’ postseason hopes and gives the offense a much better chance to stretch the field against some of the best defenses in the country. …
The idea that ‘a good defence wins Championships’ is a popular mantra that has defined so many successful teams at all levels of football. However, the Oregon Ducks are on course to flip that narrative with ‘The Law Firm’ – a fearsome offensive unit that could deliver a National Championship this season. The Law Firm ‘The Law Firm’ moniker was …
