Interactive Map by iMapBuilder Since the arrival of Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator in 2007, Duck fans have seen not only a uniquely dominant offense, but they have seen the football program rise to unprecedented heights culminating in the 2012 Rose Bowl win. Along the way, a couple of special players from parts not normally represented on the Duck roster transformed Oregon football into a nat

I don't normally use this site to stray too far from Duck sports,but today I read a story that screamed out to me to get as many people to know about this story as possible. No, this is not anything I am preaching! For those that have not known me for long, some of you may remember that I helped out at Lewis & Clark College for a while with strength & conditioning. I had th

Next week there will be a new series of articles for Duck Sports Authority looking at the recruiting trends of the Oregon Football team since Chip Kelly's arrival.Twice a week, I will dig into a region of the country and look at where our offers are and what kind of impact they are having on the Oregon football roster.Look for the first article next Tuesday.

As May comes to an end, recruiting will begin to pick up steam as young men travel to multiple camps and make unofficial visits to their favorite programs. Leading up to the summer camp season for football, Duck Sports Authority spent the month of May looking in depth at each position.

Today we finish up our series looking, position-by-position, at the possibilities for the 2013 recruiting class. All month, Duck Sports Authority took a look at every offer the Ducks had made to each athlete; their strengths, weaknesses and the odds that they would choose the Ducks. Some of those odds were very good (and semi prophetic with the recent commit of Dontre Wilson) and some were o

In our continuing series taking an in-depth look at the recruiting of each position, we once again return to the defensive side of the ball. Today we will look at the defensive end position. In our first look piece on this position in February, we projected not much need at the position and the possible likelihood that there would be very few, if any, players taken at this position.

For the past two weeks, Duck Sports Authority has been taking an in-depth look at the 2013 recruiting class position-by-position. Along the way we have revisited our initial projections for how many players will be taken at each position.Today, we return to the offensive side of the ball and take a look at an under-appreciated asset at many schools; the tight end. In 2011 the Ducks played jus

Once again we return to the defensive side of the ball in our continuing series. the Oregon defense plays much more of a 3-4 hybrid with a "drop end" like Dion Jordan leaving the defense with three pure linebackers in the "Will," "Sam," and "Mike" positions. Though only one of the positions are a true outside linebacker, today's article will not break down the positions in this manner. We hav...

I originally wrote the First Look series of articles in March for Duck Sports Authority. I had been so busy with those duties and work I had never been able to get the time to update the blog with this articles...Now they are on here, but, of course, things change after a couple of months. So, as things change I may give brief updates. In this particular case, Fresno State lost one of their key of
