Last year we had a lot of young guys that were able to contribute. But you don't look for excuses, you look for opportunities for growth.""What I do know is that we're going to have a stronger team in a lot of ways next year because of the experience those guys were able to get. They all took it and said, 'let's charge forward and figure out what's next.'""I think we have the smartest team since I've been here as far as guys understanding assignments, what they have to accomplish."Lanning interview at around the 17:09 mark:Autzen ZooDan Lanning addresses those blowout playoff lossesOn his college football podcast former Oregon tight end and six-year NFL vet George Wrighster asked Dan Lanning about the Ducks blowout losses in the playoffs.

And Campbell at Penn State may prove to be a better coach than James Franklin.In a recent interview, and without throwing his fellow SEC coaches under the bus, Kirby Smart cited NIL and coaching as two reasons the B1G has improved in football.Both Oregon and UCLA are idle on the Saturday before the Week 6 matchup in Autzen.

May 6May 6 Author Moderator No. The facts speak for themselves, which doesn't mean Duck fans are going to shut upWhere Lanning and the Ducks have done less well is in so-called big games. Six of his losses have come against teams that either won or played in the national championship game.What makes that problematic is that the definition of a big game shifts depending on how much the definer dislikes your team. When Oregon shut out No. 4 Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl quarterfinal, that was a big game until they lost the next time out.Beating Iowa, Minnesota, USC and Washington in November with a playoff berth on the line seemed like big wins to most Oregon fans, but the Hawkeyes, Gophers, Trojan and Huskies now say no.They would have been big games if Oregon lost them, and opponents would have remembered them that way. The "Dan Lanning can't win big games" argument is pretty much shifting sand. Suddenly, playoff games, conference titles and Top Five seasons don't matter, because those jealous opponents aren't achieving them.Autzen ZooThe facts speak for themselves, which doesn't mean Duck f...Over the last five years, Oregon is the winningest program in the West by a significant margin.
