FB | No. 7 Stanford Flips Script, Stuns No. 20 Oregon in Overtime Thriller

No. 20 Oregon Football was handed a startling 38-31 overtime loss at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 22 at the hands of no. 7 Stanford after near-dominance from the Ducks. Oregon went into halftime leading the Cardinal, who came into the match-up as 2.5 point favorites, 24-7. That lead seemed destined to balloon near the end of the third quarter, as sophomore wide receiver Jaylon Redd leaped into the end zone on a 16-yard run that was initially called a touchdown on the field. Further review showed that Redd's foot hit the pylon before the ball crossed the goal line, three plays later Stanford linebacker Joey Alfieri took a botched snap 80 yards the other direction for a touchdown, and suddenly the game script flipped. The fumble recovery that became a mad touchdown dash sparked Stanford's 31-7 run in the final 18 minutes of regulation and overtime. The huge Stanford streak was highlighted by Oregon running back CJ Verdell's fumble on 2nd and 2 from the Stanford 42 with roughly a… Read More

WSOC | Ducks Down Utes 1-0 Off Everett's 88th Minute Winner

Oregon Soccer (7-1-1) earned their first victory in a Pac-12 opener since 2012 on Friday night, driving past the visiting Utah Utes (3-5-1) on the back of forward Marissa Everett's headed far-post winner in the 88th minute. After freshman forward/midfielder Zoe Hasenauer forced a turnover near Utah's box, a beautiful cross in towards Everett left the senior with little short of a headed tap-in. The win puts Oregon in great position at the start of Pac-12 play; the Ducks are just three wins short of the 10 that typically gets teams over .500 on the year and eligible for the postseason.

STORY: Deommodore Lenoir and the Ducks are Out for Revenge

With a 49-7 victory over Oregon a season ago, Stanford secured the largest margin of victory in the history of the two team's illustrious rivalry. In a game that was highlighted by Stanford's ability to exploit the Ducks' young secondary for four touchdowns through the air, half of which were scored merely on fades into the endzone, the Cardinal sent a message to Oregon. Now as each side prepares for the biggest game of their young 2018 seasons, Oregon and its secondary, led by sophomore Deommodore Lenoir and Thomas Graham Jr., are out for revenge. Listen below to the full story as the Ducks look to lockdown the outside on Saturday. Deommodore Lenoir and the Ducks are Out for Revenge (by Alex Castle)… Read More
