Now as they move into week two the road doesn't get any rockier with FCS foe Portland State coming to Eugene on Saturday. The Ducks saw signs of both efficiency and big plays on offense, coupled with plenty of negative plays generated by the defense despite a slow start initially. Listen below as head coach Mario Cristobal breaks down what he saw from Oregon in week one along with some previewing of what's to come this week. Head Coach Mario Cristobal  -Alex Castle

Oregon football broke open their 2018 season with a 58-24 win over Bowling Green on Saturday night. Entering as heavy favorites, the Ducks didn't look the part early on. The Falcons jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game thanks to some shaky offensive play and a long touchdown drive. After converting a 4th and long into a touchdown from Justin Herbert to Jaylon Redd, Oregon found its stride and would tack on 37 unanswered points before Bowling Green responded with a touchdown to end the half. With the momentum on their side, Bowling Green took the ball to start the half and then gave it right back on an Ugo Amadi pick six. The Ducks wouldn't look back, finishing off the game for the 58-24 victory in week one. Oregon Offense Shows in Battle of the Birds (by Jonathan Rifkind)… Read More

Following their tough 0-2 VERT challenge against two top-three foes, no. 18 Oregon Volleyball got back to winning ways early this week against Portland State, and the momentum hasn't stopped yet. The Ducks crushed Utah Valley and Long Beach State on Friday, Aug. 31, winning the former afternoon match 25-16, 25-23, and 25-12 before sweeping the latter match as well in 25-14, 25-17, and 25-18 fashion. The Ducks' defense was impenetrable all day long, holding their opponents to a combined .093 hitting percentage. Meanwhile, head coach Matt Ulmer, senior middle blocker Sumeet Gill, and senior setter August Raskie all saw big nights Ulmer picked up his first head coaching victory over his previous team; the 2nd-year head coach for the Ducks was previously an assistant coach at LBSU for seven years, five of those full-time. Gill put up a gaudy second-match stat line, going 12 for 19 with no errors in setting a career high for kills. For Raskie, the wins propelled her to 10th on UO's… Read More
