The Ducks take care of Michigan State in their first Big Ten home game

The lights shone brightly over Autzen Stadium on Friday night as the undefeated Oregon Ducks hosted the Michigan State Spartans in their first-ever Big Ten home matchup. The atmosphere was electric, setting the stage for a thrilling contest.

Oregon's start was shaky, as it opened the game with a quick three-and-out. Michigan State seized the opportunity, orchestrating a 65-yard drive that brought it to the 1-yard line. However, the Ducks' defense rose to the occasion, forcing quarterback Aidan Chiles to fumble just inches from the goal line, and Oregon recovered.

Despite the defensive heroics, the Ducks’ offense struggled once again. On their next drive, quarterback Dillon Gabriel threw a red zone interception to Malik Spencer, throwing away the scoring opportunity. Oregon’s defense remained dominant, and although Gabriel took a hard hit on the following drive that caused him to sit out a play, he was able to regroup and finally put Oregon…

Ducks’ defense battered Michigan State University in their first Big Ten match-up at home

The sky was light gray, rain falling from the sky and the wind gusty, four hours before kickoff at Autzen Stadium. As the rain, storm clouds and wind began to fade, a sea of yellow fell upon the seats at Autzen. That sea of yellow was no sunshine — it was the sea of fans flooding in repping all yellow for Stomp out Cancer, with the Ducks wearing their new Hero’s uniform. Friday night the Ducks did all their stomping out on the field as they went to shut down Michigan State University 31-10.

After tough performances against Boise State and Idaho, many wondered if the Ducks defense could handle the expectations this year. There were huge reactions from fans about the 37-34 win over Boise State and tons of concern the defense wouldn’t perform in the Big Ten. The Ducks defense sent all those doubts down the pond with their monstrous win over Michigan State University. 

For the first time in a while here at Autzen, the Ducks defensive…

Oregon volleyball dominates 3-0 Illinois in conference opener

No. 12 Oregon volleyball (9-1, 1-0 Big Ten) played its first conference match as a member of the Big Ten against Illinois (8-3, 0-1 Big Ten). After falling by a sweep against a Pittsburgh team that’s now ranked No. 1 in the country, the Ducks have bounced back and won nine straight after defeating the Fighting Illini in straight sets, 25-21, 25-22 and 25-13.

Set 1 was a nail-biter from start to finish, featuring 12 ties and five lead changes as neither team looked willing to give in to the other. 

The Ducks struggled early with four service errors, but as the set progressed, they tightened up their game and found their rhythm.

Mimi Colyer was a standout recording five kills, two assists and two blocks in the first set. Cristin Cline ran the offense masterfully, dishing out 18 assists and distributing the ball to all of her options.

Illinois, meanwhile, had trouble breaking through the Ducks' defense,…
