For us, this meant every pro Oregon Duck’s team took the field this week. Justin Herbert and Kayvon Thibodeaux had particularly strong games this week, which you’ll want to check out. One player that you won’t see on the list this week is Dolphins’ star safety Jevon Holland. After spending the week in the concussion protocol, Holland was downgraded to out ahead of Miami’s game against New England. Although the Dolphins’ defense surely missed Holland, they were still able to crank out a win against the Patriots.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 27 Share Posted November 3 LOOK: Marcus Mariota gets revenge on Utah's Britain Covey for Duck fans everywhere If there’s any team that has been a constant thorn in the side of Oregon Duck fans over the past several years, it’s the Utah Utes. If there’s any Utah player who has been at the center of that, it’s wide receiver Britain Covey. Back in 2021, in the two losses for Oregon at the end of the season in which they were outscored 76-17 at the hands of the Utes, Covey went for 114 total yards, acting as one of the main cogs of Utah’s offensive machine. Covey’s great play against Oregon goes farther back than that, though. In his four career games against the Ducks, Covey combined for 19 total touches for 246 yards and 2 touchdowns, while also adding a punt return touchdown in 2021. It’s safe to say that Oregon fans aren’t big Covey supporters. Fortunately, Ducks’ legend Marcus Mariota got a little bit of revenge this year.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 46 Share Posted Thursday at 07:27 PM Former Oregon Ducks’ star Jevon Holland wins a 98-inch TV after his 99-yard pick-six Miami Dolphins’ safety Jevon Holland ignored the directive. The former Oregon Ducks’ star didn’t follow the defensive rule of knocking down a “Hail Mary” attempt. Don’t try to intercept the throw, just knock the football down to the turf. Holland and the Dolphins are glad he decided to go rogue. He returned his interception of Hail Mary pass 99 yards for a touchdown during the Dolphins’ 34-13 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. “They want me to knock it down, 100 percent,” Holland said Tuesday on profootballtalk.com. “But in that moment, it was going into halftime, score was close. I was like, ‘You know what? I’ve always wanted to do that,’ and I was like, ‘You know what? Might as well try it.’ It turned out to fall on my side.” Holland’s interception return not only helped the Dolphins win the game, it also helped him and a few random fans win a huge prize: a 98-inch television monitor and a spokesperson gig for the company. Holland’s interception came on the day TCL USA was holding its “Ultimate Gameday Upgrade” promotion. TCL USA offered to give away $1 million worth of 98-inch TVs if a player scored a touchdown of at least 98 yards during the game. TCL paid up, awarding fans who signed up for the promotion a big screen and they also gave one to Holland. Where to put the 98-inch television?
