AUDIO: Oregon Football Closes Regular Season with Civil War

It's a short week for Oregon football as the Ducks close out the 2018 regular season with Oregon State in the 122nd annual Civil War Game on Friday at 1 p.m. With Thanksgiving ahead after the narrow 31-29 win over Arizona State on Saturday, there's little time to slack as Oregon (7-4, 4-4) seeks to end its season on a winning streak against Oregon State (2-9, 1-7), and more importantly, begin a new winning streak against its in-state rivals. After all, it was the dramatic 34-24 win the last time the two programs met in Corvallis's Reser Stadium that ended the Ducks' then eight-game winning streak over the Beavers and sprung into motion the firings and hirings that landed now first-year head coach Mario Cristobal in Eugene. But in what would turn out to be Willie Taggart's final game as Oregon's head coach, the Ducks handed Oregon State the biggest loss in the series' long history with a 69-10 throttling in 2017. Now with a first-year head coach of its own in Jonathan Smith, the… Read More

WBB | Oregon Defeats Buffalo 102-82

Oregon Women's Basketball defeated the Buffalo Bulls 102-82 at home on Sunday to move to 4-0 on the season. It was the Ducks second win over a 2018 tournament team after beating Syracuse last weekend. In fact, Buffalo is a team who made the Sweet 16 last season. Oregon really owned this game from the start behind their hot shooting. The Ducks finished shooting 55% from FG and 50% from three. Most impressively though, they made 34 of their 38 free throws, good for 89%. Ruthy Hebard was the most efficient shooter on the team, as she shot 8-of-9 from FG and 9-of-10 from FT, finishing with 25 points. Satou Sabally shot 7-of-11 for 20 points. Maite Cazorla and Erin Boley both added 15 points. Boley shot 5-of-8 from three. Sabrina Ionescu didn't have her best game, as she committed seven turnovers and didn't get her first field goal until the second half. Ionescu still managed to get her 12th career triple-double, finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in 38 minutes. The… Read More

FB | Oregon Subdues Sun Devils in 31-29 Senior Night Victory

Oregon Football picked up the win on Senior Night, outlasting the Arizona State Sun Devils in a 31-29 victory on Saturday, November 17. The Ducks' offense got off to a scalding start, out-gaining the Sun Devils 364-142 in the first half. Oregon took its first two-score lead at 14-3 via CJ Verdell's first career touchdown catch early in the second quarter, which added to his touchdown run from the first. UO then struck through the air, as Justin Herbert and Dillon Mitchell renewed one of the country's best quarterback-receiver duos through a 57-yard end zone bomb late in the frame. Scores by both sides led to a 28-13 Oregon lead at the end of the first half. Sledding got a lot tougher from there for the Ducks, though. As the offense slowed to a crawl, gaining only 41 yards in the third quarter, Arizona State brought the game within 12 thanks to Brandon Ruiz' late-frame 29-yard field goal. Arizona State receiver Brandon Aiyuk further narrowed the margin on a 25-yard screen-pass… Read More
