FB Story: Oregon Football Rebounds With Home Victory Against Washington State

By Jonah Bruneau

Eugene, OR - The Ducks looked to bounce back at home against the other Washington school out of the PAC-12, this time facing off with the Cougars of Washington State who were 4-2 coming in. Heading into the game as heavy favorites, Oregon was playing in front of their home crowd for the first time since September 23 when they ran Colorado out of Autzen Stadium. This battle was much closer for most of the sixty minutes, but the Ducks dominated the second half and were able to improve to 6-1 on the season with a 38-24 victory over Washington State. On a day where Oregon threw it back to the nineties "UO" green-on-yellow uniforms, Quarterback Bo Nix also officially made NCAA history by setting the highest number of games started with 54, passing Kellen Moore and Colt McCoy.

Oregon came out of the gates slow in the opening quarter, only able to tally a lone field goal in the first 15 minutes. Before the made kick, Camden Lewis had missed his…

FB Preview: Thurston looks to continue win-streak against Willamette

Written by: Saul Galvan

The Colts travel to Willamette High School for a matchup with the Wolverines. Thurston is riding a five-game winning streak after losing their first two games. Willamette has yet to win a game this season, yet had a close match against South Eugene, losing by only three points. Thurston’s offense has been on a tear during their five-game win streak, averaging 47 points a game in that span. Their highest-scoring game came against Crater, as the offense put up 64 points. The defense has also been solid, allowing an average of 13 points this season and pitching a shutout against South Eugene in their recent victory.

Prediction: This should be another comfortable win for Thurston. Willamette has yet to win a game this season, and for most of their opponents that Thurston has played, the Colts have defeated. The biggest threats for Thurston will be wide receiver Walker Bonar and tight end Luke Newell, both of whom have 8 total…

FB PREVIEW: Ducks Look to Bounce Back From Loss as Cougars Come to Town

By John Evans

EUGENE, OR - This Saturday, the #9 Oregon Ducks will play host to the visiting Washington State Cougars for some Pac-12 football. The Ducks are coming off a heartbreaking weekend in Seattle that saw them lose their first game of the season in a top-10 matchup to their Pacific Northwest rivals, the Washington Huskies, as kicker, Camden Lewis missed a game-tying field goal as time expired. Oregon will also be debuting their new retro look this week, bringing back the yellow helmets they rocked throughout the 80s and 90s. The Cougars, meanwhile, started off their season 4-0, climbing as high as #13 in the AP Top 25, before losing back-to-back games to UCLA and Arizona. You can catch the game at 12:30 p.m. PST on ABC, and on KWVA, 88.1 FM, where Ryan Milano and Knight Jarecki will be on the call.

The Ducks went into last weekend with big expectations and were met with an equally big disappointment. As the #8…

VB Preview: Ducks Seek Return to Form vs. Berkeley, Stanford:

By Charles Martindale On September 29th, Oregon volleyball notched an unassuming 3-1 victory against rival Washington in front of their home fans at Matthew Knight Arena. It was more of the same then for the Ducks, who pushed their winning streak in Eugene to 20 consecutive matches with the defeat of the Huskies. Surprisingly though, the streak would end at 20, with October 2023 turning into a trying month for a Ducks team with high expectations. A loss to a talented Washington State team was the first sign of trouble, as the home winning streak was snapped. Oregon would bounce back with three consecutive wins against teams in the bottom half of the Pac-12, however a one sided loss, again on home court, last weekend to Arizona State has the Ducks looking to avoid a tailspin. The Pac-12 holds four teams in the top 20 nationally, and conference play has been a challenge so far. “I think there’s a lot of things we can learn from this, and I hope it’s something that we… Read More
