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 …
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 Ducks broke a record number of five-star recruits with five, and have just as many five-star recruits as they do three-stars. Even Mr. FishDuck paused from his investigation into quick money support …
I know many of you are going to do a double-take of the title that is obviously in error. HC Dan Lanning and his staff have killed it in recruiting portal transfers, whether we refer to quarterback, offensive line, defensive line or defensive backs. Oregon’s track record in the portal is not only one of the best for attracting them …
…in the name of keeping my B1G/Oregon Ducks homer mentality in check, if the Ducks were in the same position as the Irish, I would say the same thing. The Art of Becoming a “No-Brainer” Regarding the NCAA basketball tournament, I laugh out loud (which means “LOL”) when teams on the bubble claim to be getting screwed over by the …
Here. We. GO. Our Oregon football program is officially in the dance again after an 11-1 regular season, and the matchup is set for James Madison to come up to Autzen on December 20th @4:30 PST. While the Ducks are opening as massive favorites (-21.5 points at the time of writing this), the confidence this team must have entering their …
Oregon just finished the season 11-1, but the journey isn’t over yet. For the vast majority of college football playoff history, the end of the regular season means one or two more games and a time to wrap up the season, and 11 wins is a good season. However, with the 12-team playoff, the Ducks are now gearing up for …
It is that time of year, here are a few reasons why the Ducks are in a better position to make a run at the national championship than last year… They Have a Loss Having a loss creates a built-in reminder to the Ducks of what will happen if they do not bring their “A” game. Indiana gives Dan Lanning …
Today marks the first of the early signing day period, but nothing hangs heavier on Oregon football’s future than the potential loss of both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Now, if there’s anything the Ducks have learned to deal with this season, it’s adversity. Our Oregon football program has been dealing with injuries all season, and forced to step up …
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 …
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. Lose, and everything gets complicated fast. Standing in their way is their oldest, bitterest rival — a loose federation of purplish-colored organisms that fear loud noises, react poorly to daylight, …
For the past several decades, the Oregon State Beavers have been Oregon’s in-state rival and proverbial “little brother.” The Beavers have had stretches where they were just no competition for big brother. They had stretches where they were very challenging for Big Brother. But, ultimately, they could never overtake Big Brother. Their path to challenging Big Brother often resembled a …
Let’s get one thing out of the way real quick. This past weekend, the Oregon football program had some of the WORST circumstances to execute a major win against the high-flying Trojans. Oregon’s pass rush had failed one of the country’s best run defenses, the defense looked suspect against premier wide receivers when playing Indiana, and tons of injuries on …
