Dan Lanning says Dante Moore has Returned to Practice, Status for UCLA Unclear
I believe usually it takes anywhere between two to four weeks for concussion protocol. I doubt Donte will be playing this week. Most likely could play in the Nebraska or could go further out. Concussions are hard to predict time element wise for complete healing. It can be different for each person and the severity of the hit. I'm sure he is only out there at this time to stay in shape. What Dante Moore's return to practice means for his status vs. UCLAWhy Dante Moore's practice status means more for the Nebraska game than UCLA The biggest concern throughout the bye week for the Oregon Ducks has been the health of superstar quarterback Dante Moore. The last time everyone saw Moore, he was being loaded into an ambulance to be taken to the hospital after a disgusting hit by USC's Desman Stephens II. The good news was that additional testing showed no further injuries in addition to the concussion, but concussions are serious injuries that a player can't be rushed back from. Entering UCLA week, everyone wondered whether or not the Ducks would get their star quarterback back for this Top 25 clash. The news that Dante Moore returned to practice on Monday only added fuel to the speculation about his status for the game.

Oregon 41, USC 27 in the Coliseum — and the defense is starting to turn the corner. Sacks, real pressure on the quarterback, winning on first down, and taking away Lincoln Riley's bread-and-butter counter game with the "dent" technique. Eric breaks down the film: the two-trap coverage looks, the disguised empty-check blitz that finally got home, linebackers playing downhill, and the communication fixes still needed against an explosive USC offense.

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning joins George Wrighster on the Unafraid Show to discuss Dante Moore’s recovery, why Oregon won’t rush its quarterback back onto the field, and how the Ducks’ “next man up” culture prepared another quarterback to step into the moment. Lanning explains why he will always choose the player over the team when health is involved and why Oregon still has major room to improve. Lanning also breaks down what changed for Oregon following the Oklahoma State game, how the Ducks use the bye week to self-scout, and why modern college football may require teams to develop throughout the season rather than dominate every opponent from Week 1. He previews UCLA, discusses the similarities he sees between UCLA and Indiana, and explains how his previous experience against Bob Chesney’s teams factors into Oregon’s preparation. George and Lanning also get into Oregon’s special teams, recruiting strategy, the player salary ticker inside Lanning’s office, Oregon’s cinematic game recaps, new uniforms, Marcus Mariota, Bo Nix and the former Ducks succeeding at the next level. Lanning even admits his USC and Chris Brown comment may have been a little petty. If you follow Dan Lanning, Dante Moore, Oregon Ducks football, Oregon vs UCLA, Big Ten football or the College Football Playoff race, this conversation gives an inside look at how Lanning sees his program right now.

Dan Lanning comes into this week with a real challenge taking on the upstart UCLA Bruins. The Ducks are facing a similar challenge to one they failed to accomplish last year. On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin talks about Dante Moore with his status uncertain going into the UCLA game this week. Plus, why Brandon Finney has arguably been Oregon's best player this year. Oregon's schedule looked like October was going to be the easiest month of the year all things considered.

Dan Lanning Answers Why 'Ducks vs. Them' Doesn't Air After an Oregon LossOne of the famous characteristics about coach Dan Lanning's tenure with the No. 15 Oregon Ducks is the cinematic recaps called "Ducks vs. Them." The Story Behind The "Ducks vs. Them" VideosScott Anderson, the Senior Associate Director of Video for the Ducks, frequently shares behind-the-scenes nuggets on how the "Ducks vs. Them" videos are created. Anderson also helps create the season introduction trailers, special uniform release videos, and even the "Yes, There's Moore" promotional video for senior quarterback Dante Moore's Heisman Trophy campaign. Anderson will often share the total time of each video, tidbits about each piece's creation, the music used in certain takes, and even will put out calls for Duck fan stories to focus the teams' video work around. The work of the Oregon Ducks Video Team led to Anderson and his squad receiving seven 2025 Emmy nomations.
