"Chip Kelly" news

In 1995, Eugene musician John Doll played "Gang Green in the Backfield" as the Ducks played their way to the Rose Bowl. Now Supwitchugirl has "I Love My Ducks" with lyrics like, "Holy moley/Is that my boy Masoli?/Cookin' up the offense like he's cookin' ravioli"

Extended video of Chip Kelly's weekly press conference as the Pac-10 leading Ducks prepare for the tussle in Tucson.

The story that just won't go away. Until LeGarrette Blount plays in a game, the question will still be asked. When or will Blount ever take a snap again for Oregon? Chip Kelly said Monday, "if you merit playing time, you will get playing time."

This will turn some Duck fans green -- and not just because they're wearing team colors. Brenden Potts, 11, spent Friday practicing with Jeremiah Masoli and trading plays with Chip Kelly.

Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, who became infamous for punching a Boise State player on national television after the season opener, has returned from suspension after missing eight games.

LeGarrette Blount is back. The University of Oregon announced Monday morning that Blount would be available to play Saturday against Arizona State. Earlier Monday, Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott said he approved the request to reinstate the running back.

Toby Gerhart pounded his way though the Ducks for a Stanford record 223-yards and 3 touchdowns as the Cardinal ended a 7-game losing skid to #7 Oregon, 51-42. KVAL Sports was in Palo Alto and has the highlights and postgame wrap up.

New Mexico soccer player Elizabeth Lambert was suspended Friday for her infractions the day before during a 1-0 loss to BYU. Video from the game shows her throwing elbows, colliding with several players and yanking a BYU player to ground by her ponytail.

While Saturday's Stanford game has all the trappings of becoming a classic "letdown" loss, the recent past would indicate the Ducks have already put aside the Trojans. "Coach Kelly does a good job keeping our head on straight," said linebacker Casey Matthews.

The Ducks look to take another step towards the Rose Bowl against Stanford, while the Beavers and Cal will battle for an upper tier bowl game.

What do Ducks coach Chip Kelly, the rock band Journey and country music legend Charlie Daniels have in common? No, the devil didn't take the midnight train to Autzen Stadium. Don't stop believing -- but no. They share an Angel. In Oklahoma, no less.

The reports of Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli's demise were (apparently) greatly exaggerated. The whole drama — and Oregon seems to have had a lot of drama this season — was put to rest when Masoli ran for two scores and passed for another in Oregon's 43-19 victory at Washington.

Chip Kelly has made believers out of his Ducks. 'Win the day' is the phrase they live by. Truly taking is day by day. A 7-1 start and 5-0 record in the Pac-10, the Ducks are making a run for the Rose...more Bowl and that means it could be a November to remember. But Kelly and his team know the work has just begun.

One of the highlights from the visit by ESPN's College GameDay was Oregon head coach Chip Kelly surprising the crowd by coming out dressed as the Duck mascot. Kelly said he has a new found admiration for mascots.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly says there's nothing to report about the possible reinstatement of suspended running back LeGarrette Blount. Blount was suspended for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the aftermath of Oregon's season-opening loss to the Broncos.
