  1. Just a word on this. Seven McGee is still listed on the GoDucks Roster. 2022 Football Roster GODUCKS.COM The official 2022 Football Roster for the University of Oregon Ducks
  2. In the transfer portal. Oregon Ducks receiver Seven McGee no longer with program, will enter transfer portal WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM McGee, who did not travel with the No. 8 Ducks to last weekend’s game at Cal, is not with the team and will enter the transfer portal...
  3. There are two reasons for this @Fathertime Oregon plays either UCLA or USC for two consecutive years with there being a home and away game. This is per the wishes of the UofO when the PAC12 came into existence and the desire to play at least one of the schools every year and in the rich recruiting grounds of Southern California every other year.. Going back to 2011, Oregon played USC in 2011 and 2012, UCLA in 2013 and 2014, USC in 2015 and 2016, UCLA in 2017 and 2018. USC in 2019 and then Covid struck where the 2020 season didn't begin until the first week of November in an abbreviated schedule and Oregon ended up playing UCLA instead of USC in that 7 game regular schedule. We did face USC in the Conference Championship Game when Washington was the Northern Division Champion but couldn't muster a team due to Covid, so Oregon replaced those hated Huskies and beat USC to win the Pac12 Championship. 2021 and 2022 reverted to the normal with UCLA on the docket for away and home games. With USC and UCLA leaving the Pac12 in the fall of 2024, it appears the last conference game with USC will be next year.
  4. Another 5 touchdown day for Bo Nix. Three via the run and two passing.
  5. Troy Franklin, Take #1 - Tape up that hammy and let him play. Take #2 - Hold him out in the 2nd half and next week against Colorado so he heals up.
  6. Would be nice to get a turnover and score before the half. Ducks get the ball to start the second half and get another score!
  7. Neither team scores in the 3rd OT. After 2 OT's you get the ball for a two point conversion attempt. Miami wins it in 4 OT's 14-12
  8. Miami kicks a Field Goal at the end of regulation to tie the game 6-6
  9. Three's are wild...Miami 3 - Virginia 3 after 3 quarters.
  10. A great big THANK YOU to John Ruiz for ponying up the big bucks to lure MariØ snooze football to Miami. Hurricanes 3 - Virginia 0 at the half.
  11. I agree with you! Prior to the purchase of the Eugene Register-Guard, the coverage of University of Oregon sports was excellent(for the most part). Since Gannett(USA Today) bought the Register-Guard, the coverage of Duck sports has been abysmal. I cancelled my online subscription.
  12. Oregon Ducks’ Cam McCormick endured injuries for 4 seasons, but his deepest wound is not physical WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM The trauma that lies beneath the surface of McCormick, 24, is deeper than even the ink of his tattoos and has interwoven... A long article, and sometimes convoluted to read, but never the less, some great insight into Cam's life.
  13. No excuses for experienced Oregon, as Ducks look to improve defense, rebounding and make a Pac-12 title run WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM Oregon, led by three returning senior starters, is coming off a 20-12 campaign where it lost seven of the final 10 games SC and UCLA roasted by Altman... Altman was asked about the future of the Pac-12, with UCLA and USC down to their two final men’s basketball seasons. The Oregon coach said he’s disappointed that they’re headed to the Big Ten, and that “it’s not good for our league.” But he left the two LA schools with a zinger. “Since I’ve been in the league, USC hasn’t won the conference title or the tournament. UCLA maybe won one tournament, one league title. Arizona’s been up there. We’ve won four conference titles,” Altman said. “Our basketball league is going to survive.”
  14. Defense Wins the Day, No. 1 Ducks Beat Cal 15-13 - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Jeff Maehl caught a 29-yard touchdown pass and No. 1 Oregon got stellar effort from its defense and a huge break on a missed field... BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) -- Oregon's sturdy defense loved the chance to demonstrate that the Ducks' offense isn't the only star of this show. Jeff Maehl caught a 29-yard pass for the Ducks' only offensive touchdown, and No. 1 Oregon caught a huge break on an illegal motion penalty against California's kicker during a 15-13 victory on Saturday night, keeping the Ducks on course for the BCS title game. Cliff Harris returned a punt 64 yards for the only touchdown in the first half for the Ducks (10-0, 7-0 Pac-10), who undeniably wobbled on the road to a shot at the national championship. Oregon's offense managed a season-low 317 yards and went scoreless in two quarters - yet the defense largely shut down Cal after its opening drive. Those defensive players were just as surprised as everybody else in Strawberry Canyon when the normally purring Oregon offense sputtered and stalled. The Ducks had played just three scoreless quarters all season long until Cal shut them out in the first and fourth. ``I wasn't expecting that, especially in the second half,'' Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews said. ``It feels really good to come through for the offense this time. We did pretty good, but we should do that every week, no matter what the offense does.'' Oregon also got a bit of luck: Early in the fourth quarter, Cal kicker Giorgio Tavecchio erased his own 24-yard field goal, which would have put the Golden Bears ahead by one, by taking a stutter step forward before the snap. The junior then missed a 29-yard try on the next play. ``There's no excuse for that,'' Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. ``We kick field goals every day. There's no excuse for jumping the gun like that. It's poise under pressure, and we didn't have it right there.'' Oregon kicker Rob Beard also missed two field goals after going 8 for 8. Darron Thomas passed for 155 yards and led a final drive that chewed up the last 9 1/2 minutes. It was a strange sight to see the high-speed Ducks down shift into super-slow motion, but it worked to perfection: Kenjon Barner and LaMichael James took turns with the ball while Thomas milked the play clock on an 18-play, 65-yard drive. The Heisman hopeful James rushed for a season-low 91 yards, but Oregon's defense shut out Cal's offense for the final 55 minutes. James left Berkeley leaning on crutches with his left leg in a protective casing, but he played on Oregon's final drive, and the tailback insisted he was fine. ``I pulled my hamstring jumping up and down because we won the game,'' James joked. ``At the end of the season, they aren't going to say, 'How many points did Oregon beat Cal by?' They're just going to see we won.'' The Bears held the nation's most prolific scoring team almost 40 points below its average, but couldn't get the Ducks' offense off the field when they most needed a stop. Cal defensive tackle Derrick Hill forced a fumble and recovered it in the end zone for the Bears (5-5, 3-4), who lost at home for the first time all season - but only after putting a mighty scare into their first top-ranked opponent in five years. ``It's very hurtful that we let it slip away,'' Hill said. ``There's no consolation, because you're left with an L.'' Shane Vereen rushed for 105 yards and scored a touchdown on Cal's opening drive. Brock Mansion went 10 for 27 for 69 yards in his second career start. Oregon, which hadn't won by fewer than 11 points all season, will find out Sunday how its struggles will affect its position in the ranking and BCS standings, where the Ducks lead fellow unbeatens Auburn, TCU and Boise State. Most likely, the Ducks will still control their own destiny in the national championship race. Just two hurdles remain between the Ducks and an unbeaten regular season: a visit from Arizona on Nov. 26, followed by the Civil War at Oregon State. Oregon's offensive struggles certainly weren't for a lack of nerve. The Ducks went for it twice on fourth down on their opening drive, but turned over the ball at midfield. After an incomplete pass, Cal handed the ball five straight times to Vereen, who barreled in from 1 yard out just 4 1/2 minutes into the first quarter. The Ducks didn't score until the second quarter, when Harris broke down the Oregon sideline for his fourth TD punt return of the season. ``Every game isn't going to be a 50-point blowout,'' Harris said. ``You need luck sometimes, but luck favors the prepared.'' Defensive end Dion Jordan took the 2-point conversion in for a score on a trick play, putting the Ducks up 8-7. Vereen fumbled at the Cal 29 on the Bears' first drive of the second half, and Thomas hit Maehl in stride for a score on the next play, finally showing off the quick-strike offense that has captivated college football. But Hill's tremendous play punished the Ducks moments later. He swatted the ball out of Thomas' hand as the quarterback drew back to pass before recovering it in the end zone, with the play upheld by video review. Cal failed on the 2-point conversion pass, but mounted another clock-chewing drive to the Oregon 7 moments later. That led to Tavecchio's crucial misstep. ``It was pretty loud,'' Tavecchio said. ``We don't have a rhythmic cadence, but the snapper, the holder and I have a rhythm. It's usually a couple of seconds after the cadence, but the ball came back a little bit later, and I jumped.''
  15. We were Lucky Ducks when MariØ took his bolas pequeñas to Miami!
  16. When Chip was coach(OC & HC) at Oregon the players "bought in" on what Chip was selling. It is evident that the players now have "bought in" to what they are being presented by the Oregon staff.
  17. We need to remember that Travis Dye was used in an offense that MariØ wanted. It would have been interesting to see Dye's production in Dillinghams' strategy.
  18. Best quote from Dan Lanning after the game IMHO! "That’s an explosive offense we just played. They’re really hard to defend. They’re obviously really well coached. The best way you can defend them is to keep them off the field."
  19. That, and the Huskies were driving for an almost certain game winning TD before "The Pick". Kenny Wheaton's pick turned the outcome of the game into a win for our Ducks.
