After seeing Irving exceed 1,000 running yards for the 2024 season, the Tampa Bay supporters began yelling “Buddy!” during the game. When the duck arrived, those chanting changed to Ducky! Ducky!.
Irving, a former Oregon Ducks great who is now a Buccaneers rookie sensation, was questioned about how the duck almost stole the show during the Buccaneers’ victory. According to him, the duck’s appearance portended well for the Ducks.
After the game, Irving told reporters, “That just gives you a hint that the Ducks are going to win the national title.”
On New Year’s Day, the Ducks will play Ohio State in a quarterfinal College Football Playoff matchup.
