FB STORY: Ducks Take Care of Business at Berkeley, Extend Win Streak to 7.

Written Story by Charlie Martindale

All season long, Oregon football has been focused on setting a new tone and culture for the program. After a series of erratic seasons, and an offseason that saw an overhaul in personnel, the team has seemed dead set on proving to the college football world that they deserve to be on the same level as some of the top schools in the sport. This mission got off to a famously disastrous start, with Oregon being granted, and entirely squandering, a massive opportunity in the season opener vs. reigning national champion Georgia. In the eight weeks that have followed, the Ducks have gone undefeated, showing regular improvement and ability, and willing their way to the edge of the College Football Playoff Discussion. 

This trend took another step forward Saturday, with the team bouncing back from a slow offensive first quarter to cruise past California 42-24. Despite the seventh straight victory, the team still…

FB Preview: #8 Oregon looks for seventh straight win as it heads to California this weekend

By: Ian Sutliff

Eugene, OR - On Saturday, #8 Oregon (6-1, 4-0) will travel away from Eugene for the first time in three weeks to take on California (3-4, 1-3) in Berkeley. For the Ducks, this game should be just a stepping stone in what the team’s ultimate goal is: win out and make the College Football Playoff. On the other hand, the Golden Bears will be facing their toughest test yet against an Oregon team that is coming off an extremely convincing win over UCLA. With that being said, it could be a very long day for Cal who has lost three in a row and has failed to score more than 21 points in five of its seven games this season.

Oregon Offense

It’s been a wild season for Bo Nix and this Oregon offense. After six straight games with at least 40+ points, it’s almost impossible to imagine that this is the same group that wasn’t able to get into the endzone in Georgia during the season opener. While it’s easy to look…

Hot Off a Three Match Winning Streak, Oregon Volleyball Heads South to Take on Arizona and Arizona State

By Maddie Lang

EUGENE, OR - #18 Oregon Volleyball (13-5, 7-3) travels to the sunny state of Arizona this week for a match between the Arizona Wildcats (12-9, 2-8) and the Arizona State Sun Devils (10-12, 4-6). Oregon will play Arizona first this Friday at 7:00 PM MST at McKale Memorial Center before traveling to Tempe Sunday for a match against Arizona State at 1:00 PM MST in Desert Financial Arena. This past weekend the Ducks extended their winning streak to three and Matt Ulmer picked up his 100th career win as head coach after Sunday’s sweep against Colorado. Heading into the second half of league play this weekend, Oregon hopes to keep their enthusiasm up and continue their winning streak as they play two unranked teams sitting in the bottom 3rd of the Pac-12.

Oregon Soccer Travels to Arizona for Two Crucial Games

By Owen Johnson

EUGENE, OR – Oregon Soccer (4-6-6) travels to Arizona this week, for two games against the Arizona State Sun Devils (7-4-3) and the Arizona Wildcats (6-6-3). The first of these games is this Thursday at 7:00 PM MST, at Arizona State’s Sun Devil Soccer Stadium in Tempe. Then, on Saturday at 1 PM MST, the Ducks have a game at Murphy Field against the aforementioned Wildcats. The Ducks are coming off a draw versus California, who came into the game ranked at 25. With both Arizona teams sitting near the top 5 in the Pacific region, Oregon seeks to impress after a rocky offensive season.  With only 3 games remaining in the regular season, teams hope to finish strong in the final matches before the rivalry games.

Defensive Prowess

In both games, the goalkeepers will be at the center of the action- not just the net. A major bright spot for Oregon’s season has been the impressive effort from Leah Freeman,…
