Oregon defense: It ain’t broke

PULLMAN – At Oregon, the novelty is a lie. Thanks to a never-ending cavalcade of new uniforms and facilities, the Ducks give the impression of a football program that is trying to evolve as quickly as its offense scores.

Ducks a ‘faceless foe’ to Cougars

PULLMAN – Despite a Pac-12 opener against the No. 2 team in the country on deck, this week is just like every other week for the Washington State football team, which is focused internally and cares only about the things it can control. No matter what uniform combination Oregon comes up with, the Cougars say they will simply see the same generic opponent they prepare for every week.

Ducks a faceless opponent to Cougars

No matter what uniform combination Oregon comes up with this weekend, the Cougars say they will simply see the same generic opponent they prepare for every week.

Small step taken, big leap ahead for WSU

PULLMAN – The nonconference portion of Washington State’s football schedule is over and the season’s first third was largely disappointing. The Cougars enter Pac-12 play with a long and narrow road to a bowl game, but at least Saturday’s 59-21 win over Portland State established a starting point. Quarterback Connor Halliday looked like he was performing a skeleton passing drill in practice, leading the offense to a school-record 706 yards of offense. The team’s red-zone struggles were nowhere to be found with WSU scoring on all seven trips inside the PSU 20-yard line, six of them ending in touchdowns.

No. 3 Oregon downs No. 7 Michigan State 46-27

EUGENE, Ore. – Trailing Michigan State 27-18 in the third quarter and facing a third-and-10, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota found himself confronting a decision while on the run: Either pitch the ball to freshman Royce Freeman, or try a keeper. Mariota, who is as adept with his feet as he is with his arm, decided on the flip to Freeman for the first down, and the No. 3 Ducks would go on to score the first of four unanswered touchdowns for a 46-27 victory Saturday night over the No. 7 Spartans.

In brief: Defending champion Murray opens Wimbledon with win

Tennis: It had been, famously, more than 75 years since a British man arrived at Wimbledon as the defending champion. So Andy Murray took a moment – and, really, only a moment – to take in the sights and sounds Monday at Centre Court as nearly 15,000 spectators, including Shaquille O’Neal up in the Royal Box, rose to greet him with a raucous standing ovation.

Three basketball players won’t play for Ducks again

Three Oregon basketball players who were investigated but not charged in an alleged sexual assault have been dismissed from the team. Damyean Dotson, 19, Dominic Artis, 19; and Brandon Austin, 18, were suspended after the school received a police report concerning allegations made by a student who said she was assaulted by the players in March. School officials announced Friday that the players would not return to the Ducks because of conduct that is not befitting of student athletes.

Grip on Sports: For Kelly Graves, moving to Oregon wasn’t about the money

Wednesday: For those of you who felt there is no way Kelly Graves could turn down the money Oregon could offer, that doesn’t seem to be the reason he left. His new contract, six years for a little more than $3 million guaranteed (along with bonuses), is almost exactly what I’ve been told he’s was making at Gonzaga and probably less if he were offered a raise to stay. Graves emphasized the time was right for him. He needed a change. Gonzaga had hit a ceiling, he felt, and there was more of a chance to take the next step in Eugene.
