– On Jan. 1 Oregon won the 101st Rose Bowl. The storyline of the Ducks demolishing Florida State 59-20 in its College Football Playoff semifinal matchup has rose atop the news stream since. However, Oregon heads into 2015 with a typical game week ahead. They’ll have a business plan as usual prepared for Ohio State in the National Championship. 

– Lost in the attention that Oregon’s historic matchup brought, was Oregon basketball starting Pac-12 play. Behind Joseph Young’s 27 points, the Ducks defeated Oregon State 71-59 to improve to 12-3 and 1-0 in the Pac-12. 

– Oregon women’s basketball struggled right from the start in its game versus USC. The Ducks trailed 23-6 within nine minutes of play and it proved to be too big of a deficit to overcome, losing 70-54 in its first matchup in conference play. 

– Oregon may be at arms at the quarterback position by the time spring football comes around. Fans got a look at the possible future at the position Saturday during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Travis Waller, a four-star Ducks QB commit who has already enrolled for classes this winter, led three scoring drives while behind center. 

– The only negative note from the Rose Bowl victory came from the actions of certain players on Oregon in the celebration. A video was taken of those individuals taunting Jameis Winston following the win with a “no means no” chant. Head coach Mark Helfrich did state that the players will be disciplined. 

– Oregon’s uniforms for the National Championship were displayed.
