Staff Writer In 2014 the Oregon Ducks led by quarterback Marcus Mariota made it to the national championship after winning the Rose Bowl. Now just four years later, the Ducks now led by Justin Herbert are 3-0 going into week four of the 2018 college football season. Fans around oregon are very excited to see their Ducks. After the wins over Bowling Green (24-58), Portland State (14-62) and San Jose State (22-35), the Ducks have to play the the 3-0 seventh ranked Stanford Cardinals led by running back Bryce Love. The game will be at Autzen stadium in Eugene Oregon at 5:00 pm PCT on the 22nd of September. This will be one of their first challenges this season. “I’m really excited to see what the new coach can do,” said Mr. Kelly The new coach, Mario Cristobal, has had head coaching experience at FIU or florida international where he turned the program around. He also was the offensive line coach at Alabama for 3 years where he worked with head coaching legend Nick Saban. Oregon is excited to see what he can bring to their Ducks. “I just got to go to my first Oregon game this year and I'm really excited to see Justin Herbert this season.” This is what school custodian Sierra had to say. And with a good reason as Herbert is supposed to be the first quarterback taken in the draft. And one of the most pro ready quarterbacks in college football at 6’,6” and 234 lbs. But Oregon also has inportant players like linebacker Troy Dye and defensive end Jalen Jelks to rely on. “I've always been an Oregon fan even when they're bad but I think they have something good this year. Justin Herbert is a great quarterback with high expectations, so I think that they will go 7-5 this year but I wish I could say better," said Mrs. Steger in the office. The Ducks have kept their hardest opponents for these next couple weeks in Stanford, Cal, Washington, Washington State and UCLA. So will the Ducks pull off another 2014 miracle or will they be the same unranked Ducks from the last 2 or 3 years? We will find out in a couple weeks! Comments are closed.
