STORY: From the CFL to the CFP, Marshall made his own story
This is the first in a new series from KWVA Sports where we look back at Ducks of the past to view their time in an Oregon uniform, and catch up with them where they've been since.

If you started following the Oregon football team in the days of Marcus Mariota, and the end of the Chip Kelly regime like I did, a number of explosive running backs probably stick out in your mind. Names like DeAnthony Thomas, Royce Freeman, and LaMichael James bring back memories of lighting up the field and transitioning talent to the NFL with varying amounts of success. But what about one name that doesn’t get recognized or brought up as often?
Byron Marshall attended Valley Christian High School in San Jose, California. Graded as a 4-star athlete, Marshall ran for 914 yards and nine touchdowns his senior year in an injury-shortened season. It was enough to impress major programs to send offers his way with Nick Saban…

EUGENE, OR - #16 Oregon Volleyball (15-5, 9-3) takes on the #19 Washington Huskies (16-6, 8-4) and the Washington State Cougars (16-7, 8-4) this weekend in Matthew Knight Arena. The first of the two matches is against the Huskies on Friday night at 6:00 PM PT. The second match against the Cougars is Sunday at 12:00 PM PT. This past weekend, Oregon headed to Arizona where they extended their winning streak to 5 games with ease. Oregon Volleyball has been very hot during this midpoint of their season, averaging 14.10 kills per set, 13.31 assists per set, and 14.42 digs per set. However, this weekend will be no walk in the park. Oregon, who sits at #2 in the Pac-12, will have their work cut out for them as they take on #3 in the Pac-12, Washington State.
Electric Offense
Oregon’s offense has been nothing other than electric in their last few performances. Most notable in these matchups has…

SOCCER STORY: Oregon Women’s Soccer prepares for season-closing rivalry game vs. Oregon State.
Written by Owen Johnson
EUGENE, Ore. – The Oregon Ducks (4-8-6) prepare for a home game against the Oregon State Beavers (5-10-3) that will take place at 7:00 PM PST in Eugene this Friday. This will be the first time back at Papé field for the Ducks since their tie against Cal. Both Oregon teams have been on the road in Arizona for their last two games. Neither team can qualify for the postseason regardless of the result, but it will be important for team morale to close the season on a high note. For Oregon, the biggest story here will be the records that key members of the team are hoping to set and extend in the final game of the season. For Oregon state, winning another game within the division would lessen the worry created by their disappointing 1-8-1 in-conference record.

Read MoreFB PREVIEW: No. 8 Oregon Ducks’ Road Trip Continues with Matchup Against Colorado Buffaloes
By Graham Metzker
EUGENE, OR – The No. 8 Oregon Ducks Football Team will stay on the road this weekend, traveling to Folsom Field to face off against the Colorado Buffaloes. On the outset, these teams look opposite: the Ducks standing at 7-1 on the season and the Buffaloes sinking at 1-7. But Colorado Interim Head Coach Mike Sanford has only been in charge for three games, and has started to find the hidden gems in the Buffaloes’ roster. Sanford’s first game in charge was Colorado’s first win, a 20-13 overtime thriller over Cal, but he dropped the next two. On the other side of the coin, Oregon Head Coach Dan Lanning has been emphasizing taking things one game at a time. The Ducks face steeper competition in Washington, Utah, and Oregon State to close out the season after Colorado. But before the final grind of the season begins, the Ducks have plenty to prove against the Buffaloes on Saturday afternoon.
