Oregon Football spoke to the media on Thursday, December 27, the first time the team has appeared in front of microphones since quarterback Justin Herbert's announcement that he would be returning for his senior year. However, most of the talk following the team's Redbox Bowl practice at City College of San Francisco centered on their match-up with the Michigan State Spartans on New Year's Eve, as Herbert delayed discussing his decision until after the bowl. Listen below to hear pre-game thoughts from head coach Mario Cristobal and select offensive and defensive stars.

No. 7 Oregon Women's Basketball put together a complete performance on Friday, December 21, decimating the UC Irvine Anteaters in a 115-69 blowout inside Matthew Knight Arena. Sabrina Ionescu stole the spotlight with her second triple-double (13 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists) in as many days, but plenty of Ducks had memorable performances in the monstrous victory. Satou Sabally led all scorers with 27 points on 11-16 shooting, chipping in 6 boards to boot, while Ruthy Hebard earned a first-half double-double to finish with 23 points (11-12 from the floor), 15 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Both teams came out firing from the field, as Oregon went 12-15 shooting in the first frame and UCI shot a clean 50 percent (10-20). The Anteaters protected the ball and hit the offensive glass, forcing three turnovers and nabbing three of their own misses. That effort and some hot shooting from guard Andee Ritter and forward Jordan Sanders helped UCI take a 39-28 lead two minutes into…

Sabrina Ionescu stayed in the spotlight for no. 7 Oregon Women's Basketball, earning her NCAA-leading 13th triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists to lead the Ducks past Air Force 82-36 on Thursday, December 20. The triple-double pushed the junior guard past former BYU men's guard Kyle Collinsworth for the all-time record.

Ionescu piled on the rebounds and assists early, with 7 and 9, respectively, by the midway point in the 2nd quarter. Forward Ruthy Hebard led the game with 20 points on a flawless 9-9 performance from the floor, tacking on 5 boards and 3 assists to boot. Hebard led UO from the get-go, scoring 7 of her points in the first quarter. However, it took time for Oregon, absent head coach Kelly Graves during his two-game suspension, to lock in offensively. The Falcons, who went 3-6 on early three-point attempts, brought the score within 4 at 22-18 just 6:16 from halftime.

That's when Oregon went on a run, ripping off a 26-4 run over…

With the early singing day in the rearview mirror, Oregon football hit the practice field on Thursday morning with a full focus on preparing for Michigan State in the RedBox Bowl. The Ducks offense will face one of its toughest tests all season when it meets the Spartans and its run defense, which statistically ranks best in the country. Though Michigan State will be without one of its top corners in Justin Layne, who will sit out the game to prepare for the 2019 NFL Draft. Oregon, on the other hand, will return one of its top offensive talents in freshman left tack Penei Sewell, who missed the last half of the season due to injury. Listen below as offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo and the Oregon offense discuss practice, the return of Sewell, and the opportunity that awaits them in Santa Clara.
