“Lame Duck” Neuheisel to Lead UCLA Against #9 Oregon in Inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game
Posted on 1 Dec 2011 by Rob Parness.
Though the road to this point of the season has had a few more bumps than most Oregon Duck fans would have liked, the junction they have reached is right where they wanted to be; in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game. Even with the heartbreaking loss at home to USC a few weeks ago the Ducks (10-2, 8-1) had the best conference record and will host south division “champion” UCLA (6-6, 5-4...

Freshmen, Not Stars, Pace #7 Ducks to 43-28 Win Over Washington State
Posted on 30 Oct 2011 by Rob Parness.
Though most Oregon fans came to Autzen Stadium on Saturday to see the returns of star players LaMichael James and Darron Thomas, a few freshmen stole the show for the Ducks and highlighted an otherwise flat performance by the 7th ranked team in the nation. It is hard to say a team that won the game 43-28 looked unimpressive, but by typical Oregon standards the Ducks did not have play with the s...

#7 Oregon Hopes For Return of Offensive Stars Against Struggling Washington State
Posted on 26 Oct 2011 by Rob Parness.
Early in the season the Washington State Cougars appeared to be a different team. They began the year 3-1 and were even on the winning side of blowouts for the first times in recent memory. However, after suffering 3 consecutive losses, 2 of which were to Pac-12 bottom-dwellers UCLA and Oregon State, the Cougars (3-4, 1-3) have come crashing back down to earth. This week the downturn is expecte...

LaMichael James Runs Past Arizona and into the Record Books
Posted on 25 Sep 2011 by Rob Parness.
When the #10 Oregon Ducks took the field in Tucson to take on Arizona they did so with the top offense in the Pac-12. The Wildcats, decimated by injury and who have been pummeled by top-10 opponents each of the two prior weeks, came into the game with the worst defense in the conference statistically. What do you get when you mix those two components together? A 56-31 victory for the Ducks and ...

Growing Pains: A Critical Look at the Slow Start by the Pac-12
Posted on 20 Sep 2011 by Rob Parness.
To the delight of SEC and Big-10 fans everywhere, the Pac-12 has been unimpressive and disappointing early in the season. Many proud west coast fans were expecting this season to be an opportunity for their conference to prove itself as the second best in the nation behind the SEC. However, after #10 Oregon’s loss to LSU in week one, teams like Arizona, UCLA, Oregon State and Washington also ...

#2 Ducks To Battle Rival Oregon State With Title Shot On The Line
Posted on 1 Dec 2010 by Rob Parness.
Though #2 Oregon Ducks may have slipped just behind the Auburn Tigers in the BCS this week they are still in position to punch their ticket to the BCS National Championship Game. The opponent that they must defeat resides in their own backyard, as the Ducks will head the 45 miles north to take on the Oregon State Beavers in the annual Civil War. Most Duck fans want to look past the Beavers and ...

Jackson Frustration, Trade Talks and Dismal USC Football
Posted on 30 Nov 2010 by Lea Anderson.
Sports in Los Angeles last week experienced plenty of troubles. The Lakers losing to Utah and Indiana, the Kings continuing to NOT score, and USC football losing to Notre Dame at home, were some of the low lights. The Lakers struggled a bit last week as they went 1-2 with a win over the Chicago Bulls and two loses to the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers. If there is one glaring trouble for the ...

Notre Dame: A Study in Mental Toughness
Posted on 28 Nov 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
It is truly remarkable to think about how the Notre Dame season ended. Yes, it’s only 7 -5 (exactly what this space predicted in late August, but the way), but it’s the best kind of 7 -5. It’s the pleasantly surprising kind. We know the story, heard it a million times. But somehow, it doesn’t get old. At 4 -5 and coming off a brutal home loss to Tulsa, it looked like Notre Dame’s bowl...

Top-Ranked Ducks Look to Wrap Up Pac-10 Crown Against #21 Arizona
Posted on 23 Nov 2010 by Rob Parness.
As the temperature drops this week in Eugene the heat on the #1 Oregon Ducks continues to rise. With a Pac-10 Championship only one win away and a certain berth in the National Championship merely two, it would be hard for any team to not feel the mounting pressure that comes with being regarded as the nation’s premier team. Most expect the Ducks to win their last two games, at home this week...

Arizona falls flat against USC, loses 24-21
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
The USC Trojans pounded away at Arizona all night long, as the Wildcats fell 24-21 to the Trojans in Tucson. USC used a balance attack to take down Arizona, led by running back Marc Tyler, who had 160 yards on the ground with a touchdown. Quarterback Matt Barkley didn’t play spectacular, but well enough, as he finished 21 of 35 for 175 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Before the gam...

#1 Ducks Survive Scare, Beat Cal 15-13
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Rob Parness.
It’s okay Duck fans, you can open your eyes now. The #1 Oregon Ducks took their high flying show into Berkley Saturday night and ran into a buzz saw against the California Golden Bears, but pulled out a tough victory 15-13. Oregon came into the game leading the nation in scoring (54.7 points per game) and total yardage (566 per game), but found tough sledding all night against a motivated and...

Arizona vs. USC Preview
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Henry Childs.
After a humbling loss to Stanford last weekend, 18th ranked Arizona will host USC this Saturday and try to rebound from its second loss of the season. The Wildcats were pounded on both sides of the ball last week against a better-prepared Stanford team. The Arizona defense was worn down, and it certainly won’t get too much of a break against a Trojans offense that is deep and talented. Led by...
