After the game on Saturday afternoon, Oregon Ducks’ head coach was asked a difficult question. His team had just beat the No. 10 UCLA Bruins by a score of 45-30 and taken the undisputed top spot in the Pac-12 conference. On top of that, he had just welcomed the arguable best coach in Oregon history, and gave him a taste of his own medicine with a high-flying offense that was unable to be stopped.
Lanning was asked to describe how good it felt to be in his position, as a first-year head coach finding unfounded success so early on in Eugene.
As frequen readers would expected, he quickly defelected and put the credit on his players and his coaching staff. High class through and through.
Whether he will admit it or not, Saturday was a huge day for Lanning, who has his team back in the mix after a disastrous start, and potentially making things tough for the College Football Playoff committee. Here’s a look at all of the notable things he had to say on Saturday after the win:
Opening Statement
Lanning: “Wow. I had a pretty good feeling this was going to be an awesome day the minute I stepped out on the quad right around 6 a.m. this morning and that place was packed. Our fans brought it from 4 a.m. or even 1 a.m. last night all the way to the very end of that game and they were absolutely a difference for us. It was a complete team win. We changed the game in special teams and were able to have some big momentum plays both offensively and defensively. When they’re scoring field goals and we’re trading them for touchdowns, that’s going to be a recipe for success. There’s certainly a lot of things we can get better at. I don’t think anybody on our team is satisfied and that’s what gives this team a chance to be hungry and great. Really excited about moving forward to the next game, but we’re going to enjoy this one though.”
