Oregon’s College Football Playoff hopes were seemingly dashed the moment Auburn’s Seth Williams caught the game-winning touchdown with nine seconds remaining in Week 1.

Since the Pacific Coast Conference was formed — which would later be renamed multiple times before becoming the Pac-12 — no team has enjoyed more success than USC. In the last 15 years, USC has won the Pac-12 seven times and has long been the face and prevailing brand of the Pac-12. 

In the last three games, the Ducks have given up 30 points per game, uncharacteristic for a defense that held teams to just 7.6 points per game the previous six matchups. Nevertheless, the No. 7 Ducks still stand at 8-1 with three regular season games to go.

The last three wins for Oregon football have all been huge in their different ways, but they are linked by a common theme: none of them have caused head coach Mario Cristobal and his squad to get ahead of themselves. 

It’s no secret that the Pac-12 has been the worst Power 5 football conference for multiple years. There are only two ranked teams representing the conference in Week 11. In the era of the College Football Playoff, the Pac-12 has been mostly irrelevant for the past two seasons. The Pac-12 Net…

The Oregon Ducks opened at No. 7 in the College Football Playoff’s first official rankings on Tuesday night.

LOS ANGELES — You wouldn’t know it by his body language after the game, but Juwan Johnson has arrived.

LOS ANGELES – Oregon needed to flush out what transpired in the first quarter.

Oregon came into Los Angeles seeking its first win over USC since 2015, and left with a convincing 56-24 victory over the Trojans on Saturday night. The Ducks overcame a slow start by rattling off eight consecutive touchdowns, including a pick-six from Brady Breeze and kickoff return for a t…

A wild first half at the Coliseum was capped by a Mykael Wright 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as the Ducks went into the locker room up 28-17. Oregon's offense struggled to get going early, and the Kedon Slovis-led Trojans jumped out to an early 10-0 lead. The Ducks' defense reboun…

After a tumultuous, injury-plagued start to the season, Juwan Johnson finally got his chance to shine. With 26 seconds left and the Ducks facing a one-point deficit, quarterback Justin Herbert looked his way. 

Although No. 9 Utah is regarded as the best team in the Pac-12 South, USC is the current division leader. Like most teams in the Pac-12, USC’s performance has been up and down this season. However, USC is one of the premier programs on the West Coast, and Oregon traveling to Los Angeles is o…

USC Trojans

Bryson Young has been ready for this starting role.

After a thrilling win for the second week in a row, the Ducks have launched themselves into the top 10, sitting at No. 7 in the latest AP Poll. With talk of reaching the College Football Playoff swirling, Oregon must stay focused on the task at hand.

CJ Verdell was not announced as a starter for the first time all season on Saturday night. All he did after that was run for 313 total yards and three touchdowns to carry the Oregon offense to a big-time win over Washington State on Saturday night.

It was just another Wednesday night for Oregon football in Autzen Stadium on Saturday. 

Oregon survived a late Washington State comeback bid to beat the Cougars for the first time since 2014. 

The Ducks and Cougars are tied at the half following a Washington State touchdown with under a minute left in the first half. Washington State's Anthony Gordon had success through the air, but also turned it over twice — including a pick six by Jevon Holland. Oregon's rushing attack had its …

On Saturday, the No. 11 Oregon Ducks will host Washington State head coach Mike Leach and his Cougars at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks, now sitting comfortably atop the Pac-12 North, have had plenty of success so far in 2019. After losing 34-20 to a dominant Cougars squad in last year’s matchup …

Injuries are a fact of life in football, and Oregon has had its fair share of them in 2019.  Now, Oregon is attempting to fill a Jacob Breeland-sized hole at tight end after he sustained a left leg injury that will cost him the rest of his senior season.  His absence was felt in the first ha…
