Oregon Football: Should Dante Moore Go to the NFL?

Alex Heining Editorials

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.

Oregon’s ‘Law Firm’ Offense Leads Ducks to a ‘Natty?

OregonReigns Editorials

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.

David Marsh Editorials

Oregon has just finished signing the third-ranked recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to Rivals. However, based on player average score, Oregon has the best average.

The Playoff Formula Hasn’t Changed

David Marsh Editorials

We are in the second year of the 12-team playoff, and still the playoff formula hasn’t changed from the BCS era. The formula is simple: play your schedule and don’t lose. Sounds simple, right? Just win out and you’re in, and the best teams should win out. In theory that makes sense, but the reality is that not all schedules …

Oregon Aims to Bury Dawgs, Punch Playoff Ticket in Rivalry Clash

Jordan Ingram Editorials

For all of the noise around rankings, résumés and selection-committee math, Oregon’s path is brutally simple: win in Seattle, and the Ducks are almost certainly in the College Football Playoff.
