Official ImportanceThis past weekend, Oregon hosted its first official visitor of the year. Plenty of recruits have made their way to Oregon games this season, but did so on their own dime.The first official, though, was figuratively and literally a big visitor.Truly grateful for the hospitality that was shown this weekend at the University of Oregon. Thank you Coach @CoachTaggart and staff. #GO🦆s

One of the things that has been lacking from this site over the course of the last several months is more frequent updates. That is largely due to the personal circumstances I faced over the summer and the consequent forms of depression and fatigue that seemed to plague me - I just never really felt 'up to' making posts here more regularly.This weekend, I made the decision that I simply had to 'do

Not a ton of scoop tonight. Jonathan Giles committed to LSU today. the talented transfer receiver had quickly narrowed his choices down to three - LSU, Florida State and Oregon. His commitment to LSU is hardly surprising to me.In my Monday morning article for Duck Sports Authority I led off with a quick look at Giles. One of the things I said there was that "this could come down to a couple of fac

ROSE BOWL THOUGHTS As we build up towards the Rose Bowl I will do at least three position breakdowns each week culminating with the overall offense and defense with score predictions.This has been a very interesting year for the football team for a multitude of reasons. Even though most were expecting 2011 to be a bit of a rebuilding year, the Ducks were not far off of a Championship Game return.

A Look Back the Pac-12 Title GameOregon-UCLAOffense: The Ducks were able, for the most part, to impose their will on UCLA. There were some missed opportunities and some familiar traits to the start of this game that have garnered attention amongst some. Still, the Ducks led 21-7 at the end of the first quarter and this game was never really in doubt. UCLA played inspired early after feeling

A Look Back at Saturday around the Pac-12Oregon-USCOffense: Another week, another slow start for the offense. In reality, though, BOTH offenses started slowly. After three possessions each, the Ducks had 21 total yards while USC had 8 total yards. The difference in this game is that is simply took the Oregon offense a little longer to get into rhythm; in fact a lot longer as they rea...

A Look Back at Saturday around the Pac-12Oregon-StanfordOffense: The offense started slowly taking over a quarter to get into the positive yardage. Even with the slow start, the Ducks were able to capitalize on an early Stangord miscue and take an 8-0 lead despite having -1 total yards after scoring. From there, though, the Ducks dominated putting up 388 yards on the final 3 quarters. Had t

A Look Back at Saturday around the Pac-12Oregon-WashingtonOffense: LaMichael James, wearing a bulky elbow brace for the second consecutive game, seemed to be his old self again Saturday as he carried the ball 25 times for 153 yards. As a team, the Ducks had 39 carries for 212 yards, nearly 100 yards below their season totals. Part of that looked by design, though, as the Huskies were very ...

Monday Morning Quarterback: Week 9

Scott ReedNovember 1, 201168 Views0

A Look Back at Saturday around the Pac-12Oregon-WSUOffense: Duck fans have been anxiously awaiting the day that LaMichael James and Darron Thomas would step back onto the field. That day came Saturday against Washington State. There were a few who suggested that Darron needed another week off. I cannot say that I am entirely in agreement with that thought. What we have to wonder is how much of the
