Oregon Football: 2025’s Best Defender So Far
Our Oregon football program has been firing on all cylinders since day one of the season, and a ton of young talent has started to rise up the depth chart. Alongside the young Ducks, there’s one player who’s shock-and-awed all three games of the season so far. My personal “Best Defender of 2025” entering week four is Bryce Boettcher.

A Look Ahead to the Ducks’ 2026 NFL Draft Class
They may not match the record 15 players that the Georgia Bulldogs had drafted as part of the 2022 NFL Draft but give credit to the Oregon Ducks for trying! This past spring, the Ducks set a new school record with ten players as part of the 2025 NFL Draft class, and there are thoughts that number will be surpassed ...

The Ducks Have a Problem with Run Defense
For two weeks in a row the Oregon defense has been exposed, though the final scoreboard may not show it. The Duck defense has a weakness in defending the run. Against Oklahoma State the Ducks gave up 144 total yards, which may not sound too bad as the bulk of Cowboys’ total offense came off only a few drives — ... The Ducks Have a Problem With Run Defense

Ducks Crash Heavyweight Ranks With Ferocious Start
If there were any lingering doubts about whether Oregon belongs among college football’s heavyweights, the Ducks have opened the season with the subtlety of a belching orc, mercilessly collecting pelts to improve 2-0 heading into their first conference game. These ain’t your grandpappy’s Men of Oregon — these are Odin’s berserkers reveling in the spoils of their plunder. I’m not ... Ducks Crash Heavyweight Ranks With Ferocious Start

Oregon’s Home Away From Home
I start this article by admitting to failure. My search for something interesting to talk about for Oregon’s upcoming game against Northwestern came up empty. The Ducks should roll over the Wildcats the same way they destroyed Montana State and Oklahoma State. Oregon’s Home Away From Home

Oregon Football: Did We Underestimate Dakorien Moore?
Our Oregon football program has been putting the nation on notice over the last two weeks, and expectations have shot through the roof for what this team’s capable of. One player who entered the season as a major potential x-factor was freshman wide receiver Dakorien Moore. Even Mr. FishDuck had to share his surprise with me about this new freshman, although ...

The Ducks Have Roster Depth Like Never Before
2024 saw Oregon rack up 13 wins and a B1G championship, but the 2024 team had surprisingly little depth. When Matthew Bedford was lost before the season started, the offensive line was in disarray for two weeks. This season feels completely different; this season, “next man up” doesn’t feel like cliche, but a reality. Even Mr. FishDuck took a break ... The DUCKS Have Roster Depth Like Never Before

Is Oregon the Next Oklahoma State?
For years, Oklahoma State had the second-richest owner in college football in oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens. Pickens was OSU’s version of Phil Knight. He donated over $652 million to his alma mater until his death at the age of 91 in 2019. Unfortunately, for Cowboys athletics, Pickens died before the NIL era begun. The pre-NIL era was a simpler Is Oregon the Next Oklahoma State?

Oregon Football: Player of the Week Against Montana State
Our Oregon football program opened the season with a trouncing of Montana State, 59-13, in Autzen. Now, let’s get this out of the way right away: Both Oregon’s offense and defense played outstandingly in week one. This was as good a performance as I’ve seen the Ducks have in at least the last ten seasons, if not more. The offense ... Oregon Football: Player of the Week Against Montana State

Three Opening Season Offensive Surprises for the Ducks
It’s finally here, a new season with new faces and new surprises. In 2023 it was a surprise to see Bryce Boettcher, a walk on, get the start at linebacker. Since then he has become a household name among Duck fans. This season we had even more new faces making an impact in Game 1. Some of these new impact ...

Oregon Ducks Kickoff Season with Special Sauce, Hold the QB
The Oregon Ducks, ranked No. 7 nationally and expected to make another run at the College Football Playoff, begin the 2025 season with an unusual yet comforting blend of elite talent, tactical secrecy and unflappable swagger. Whatever wunderkind Oregon coach Dan Lanning is serving up, bottle it and sell it. Only Lanning’s magic elixir of charisma, dedication, hard work and ...

Time For Dan the Man to Prove That He Can
Three thoughts of mine as we start the season… 1) Dan Lanning’s Defense Dan Lanning was brought in as a defensive mastermind who trained under the tutelage of Kirby Smart and guided those tremendous Georgia/SEC defensive squads. Lanning spent his first two years building up his roster to be in a position to possibly be great. By 2024, the Oregon ... Time For Dan the Man to Prove That He Can

Oregon Football: Setting Expectations for Game One
Our Oregon football season is finally here, folks. All the hype, speculation, and roster adaptations will culminate in 60 minutes or more of Oregon Duck football at 1:00 pm PST this Saturday. Montana State comes to Eugene to battle the 7th-ranked Ducks, and Dan Lanning gets a premier opportunity to kick this team’s gear into championship overdrive. Now it’d be easy ...

Why Tosh Lupoi Must Have His Best Season
Something has been brewing in my mind all summer as I’ve thought about the upcoming season. Late this Spring, I pointed out in the FishDuck Forum with Decorum, a nagging foreboding about Our Beloved Duck (OBD) defense. I discussed it with Mr. FishDuck himself. We both shared some interesting perspectives. He suggested I should relieve my worries by looking at ... Why Tosh Lupoi Must Have His Best Season

A 2025 B1G Question: Who Wins the Close Ones?
We are all aware of how the super-close games can determine your Playoff or Championship destiny, but what happened in our new conference last season would be hard to believe–unless we witnessed it. B1G teams played 162 conference games in 2024 and an astounding 31 games, or 32.25%, (roughly a third of total games!) that were One Score games, games decided ...
