  1. Watching the development of players is one of the smaller rewards of college football that is satisfying and part of our overall enjoyment of the sport. We see players break-out each year, and while that occurred a few years back for Jeffrey Bassa, when he moved from safety to linebacker–it was fun to see his exciting sack from perfect blitzing ...

  2. Our Oregon Ducks football program might have missed out on Preston Taumua this weekend, but they still remain the top choice for future superstar tailback Nate Frazier. Coming out of Mater Dei in Santa Ana, CA, Frazier is a true offensive X-factor that could take over the PAC-12 fast. While the entire country is passing game-centric now, it’s never a bad idea ...

  3. Dan Lanning’s debut season as a head coach was a huge success. Yes, Oregon did get walloped by Georgia in Week 1, but the Bulldogs steamrolled just about everyone in 2022. Outside of that opening-week stinker, the Ducks were among the best teams in the country last season. They were in the thick of the playoff hunt for much of ...

  4. Oregon has an incredible running back tradition with highly recognizable names such as Jonathan Stewart, LaMichael James, Kenyon Barner, De’Anthony Thomas and Royce Freeman, to name a handful. Oregon’s current roster is not lacking for talent either with a RB room featuring Bucky Irving (junior), Noah Whittington (junior), Jordan James (sophomore), Dante Dowdell (freshman) and Jayden Limar (freshman). This is an ...

  5. Coach Will Stein comes from a school of offense that is very creative, and at times even tricky — as illustrated by the throwback screen we studied a few weeks ago, and the tricks don’t stop there. His offense has roots that go back to Coach Gus Malzahn’s system, which includes one of his favorite trick plays. The play itself ...

  6. Oregon does have a freak problem with their football team. It is not a bizarre problem, but one that is unusual because of what Dan Lanning is trying to achieve at Oregon, and soon. I identified the issue late last season, and wondered aloud if it would be solved through high school and portal recruiting, and I believe we have ...

  7. Our Oregon Ducks football program has needed a spark on the defensive line since Kayvon Thibodeaux’s departure last offseason, and it looks like the Ducks are going to reignite that fire in 2023. While Thibodeaux was one of the best things to hit the streets of Eugene since Voodoo Donuts, replacing his services wasn’t going to be accomplished overnight. Following ...

  8. There are a lot of people talking about how getting into the B1G is a must for the Ducks to not be left behind. When the news first broke that USC and UCLA were headed to the B1G, I was certainly in this camp. I felt like Oregon needed to do everything they could to get into the B1G as ...

  9. With what feels like an imminent media deal coming, it seems there may be a plan to keep this historic conference together. Here is what George Kliavkoff’s plan for the Pac may look like. Phase 1: Survive This is where the conference finds itself now. The Pac-12 needs to sign a media deal that is equal to or ideally ahead ...

  10. Coach Will Stein has made it clear that deep shots a huge part of his offense. He’s even stated that they would like to take at least two deep shots per quarter. This philosophy of an attacking air game works to keep defenses honest, and in turn create more room for the ground game. Not to mention that deep shots ...

  11. Late Kick journalist Josh Pate has been very kind to Our Beloved Ducks in some of his recent videos concerning both high school and portal recruiting.  However, he just began a new campaign, a new line of reasoning of why a Pac-12 team should always be considered inferior to a SEC team…even a SEC team with a worse record! It ...

  12. Our Oregon Ducks football program has been making waves in a big way since Dan Lanning took over recruiting. Frankly, the past decade of Oregon coaches has completely reshaped the national perception of Oregon’s strength as a dominant program in the West since Chip Kelly’s championship run and departure from the Ducks. Some might connect the Ducks’ recent recruiting success to...

  13. Without a doubt, the most pleasant surprise for Ducks’ fans in 2022 was the resurgence of the Oregon offense. Mr. FishDuck took some time from his NFL live betting, and studying the NFL to ponder these secret Duck superstars with me, that will emerge in 2023. The Ducks were once synonymous with offensive explosion and ingenuity, but the unit was ...

  14. It’s hard to ignore USC fans these days, as most of them seem far too happy about joining the B1G. They gleefully lord it over the rest of the Pac-12 as they seem to take some perverse joy out of the fact that they may have brought upon the demise of their current conference rivals. Which is rather pathetic when ...

  15. A few weeks ago, we took a look at one of the rollout passes Coach Will Stein has implemented into the Oregon Ducks offense. Today we are studying a constraint play that the Ducks also showed in the spring game. Constraint plays are play built to look like one play at first, but then turn out to be another. These ...

  16. Talk about a topic I never saw coming a couple of years ago! The amount a college player will receive in a year to play football? Who saw that in the future, even five years ago? Nonetheless, I was surprised to be notified about this article that listed the table below for the projected NIL amounts the top ten college ...

  17. The Pac-12 has always been known for churning out talent on the gridiron, and the school based in Eugene has also produced its fair share of stars. The University of Oregon has been a steppingstone for many players that would go on to star in professional football, dating back to the early days of the sport in the 1940’s. That ...

  18. Our Oregon Ducks football program has had a busy offseason to say the least. Luckily, head coach Dan Lanning’s proven to be the perfect captain to steer the Ducks through the PAC-12 pond and make new additions to the flock along the way. As we roll into spring, this squad has sured-up some important spots after losing significant contributors to the NFL ...

  19. For the second straight year, the No. 18 Oregon Ducks softball team will kick off the postseason at Bogle Park in Arkansas. The Ducks (35-15) enter the regional as the No. 2 seed, playing Notre Dame at 2 p.m. on Friday in the opening game of the Fayetteville Regional on ESPN2. Mr. FishDuck was learning some important gaming information at ...

  20. The Oregon Ducks’ defense has maintained one major problem for the last three years. Simply put, it has a soft underbelly that has been the defense’s undoing. In the zone of the field that is between the defensive front and the secondary, Oregon has been incredibly vulnerable for easy yards. Typically, not enough yards that result in touchdowns, but this ...

  21. Under new offensive coordinator, Will Stein, the Oregon Ducks will look to utilize the Pistol to a greater degree than they did under Coach Kenny Dillingham. Though the Ducks have used the alignment with varying degrees of success over the past few years, Coach Stein uses the Pistol in slightly different ways, and the play-action game is one area he’s ...

  24. There will be plenty of intriguing storylines to follow when Oregon kicks off its spring game this Saturday.

But perhaps the most ...

New Offensive Coordinator Will Stein said something at this first post-practice press conference that made a lot of fans scratch their heads or in extreme cases mourn the death of Oregon’s offense without ever seeing a single snap.
