Your Oregon Ducks play host to the Omaha Mavericks tonight, in a final tune-up before conference play begins! When: Sunday, December 28th @ 5:00 PM PST Where: Matthew Knight Arena, Eugene, OR Watch: Big Ten Network ‘Sco Ducks!
Over the course of the season, both online and while watching a play unfold, I continually saw how Big Ten officiating crews don’t call holding. This made me curious to see if the data supports that hypothesis and whether there are other judgment call penalties that certain conferences don’t call or call at a higher […]

Oregon football may not have covered the spread against James Madison, but they certainly could have. That’s just part of the ups and downs with sports betting. Although the Oregon vs. Texas Tech line has been reportedly moving between the Ducks being favored by 1.5 to 2 points in the spread, FanDuel still has a […]

Merry Christmas Duck fans. With the home playoff game in the rearview mirror and the next challenge up being a New Years Day Bowl Game I wanted to take stock in this team right now and compare it to the last two seasons and how I was feeling at Christmas. I’ve found the 2025 version […]
While the CFP has taken up most of our attention, bowl season is in full swing. Notable results for Oregon fans so far include a meteor failing to hit the LA Bowl and the WSU Cougars defeating future Pac-St8 conference peer Utah State on the blue turf. Despite losing their quarterback to Ole Miss, of […]

Well, JMU made the final score look a lot closer than the game actually was, but the outcome was as predicted: Oregon to Miami to square off with Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl, a bowl in which Oregon has never actually played. There’s no bones about Oregon’s offense. With Dante Moore slinging the ball […]
Oregon’s approach in this first playoff game was as aggressive, if not more so, than during their non-conference schedule. As hythloday’s guests had suggested on the podcast, James Madison stayed with their base single high safety defensive alignment early in the game. It was a big gamble to try and generate negative plays against an […]

Oregon and Gonzaga, two basketball programs you’d think would meet much more often considering their relatively close location to each other, played in Portland Sunday afternoon. It was Oregon’s sixth quad one game of the season, and we’re not even into January yet. Gonzaga defeated the Ducks 91-82. In those six quad one games, Oregon […]
Oregon women’s basketball finished their non-conference slate with a game at the Chase Center in San Francisco to face an old Pac-12 rival, the Stanford Cardinal. The Ducks played well in the middle quarters, but Stanford took over in the fourth to win the game, 64-53. The Cardinal jumped on Oregon early, and a 9-0 […]

Oregon runs a Mint Defense. Preventing explosives is a core principle of this scheme. That principle would, in theory, limit a Mint defense’s ability to stop the run in short-yardage situations. Oregon doesn’t tend to crowd the box or sell out to stop the run. For the purposes of this analysis, I’ve defined short-yardage situations […]
Autzen Stadium hosted the first (collegiate) playoff game in the stadium’s history tonight. The James Madison Dukes came in as heavy underdogs, but were determined to show that expectations are not reality. Oregon won the toss and took the ball with the opening kickoff. In only four plays a one handed catch by TE #9 […]

In the world of college football there are numerous storied rivalries. Many culminate in regular showdowns such as The Big Game, Red River Rivalry, Iron Bowl, Civil War and others. I’m still rooting for Cascade Clash for the annual clash between Oregon and Washington. In the era of social media, fans of the various schools […]
