Dan Lanning reflects on Oregon's win over Michigan, notes that team still has things to improve
Dan Lanning and Oregon improved to 9-0 — 6-0 in the Big Ten — with a 38-17 win over Michigan in Ann Arbor on Saturday.
“[We’ve] got a good team that continues to get better and better every single week, and I still see a lot of things that we can improve, and I know we’re excited to go attack it,” Lanning told CBS Sports’ Jenny Dell after the game.
Lanning commented on the Ducks’ ability to respond to adversity throughout the afternoon, noting that it was one of the ways in which the team had improved during the course of the year.
“We faced some adversity there early in the game, and for nobody to even flinch or blink and then go ahead and say, ‘Hey, the next play is the most important,’ I saw that consistently show up tonight,” he said.
The Ducks remain perfect on the season and should be the No. 1-ranked team when the initial College Football Playoff rankings are released on Tuesday. For now, it’s a celebratory flight back to Eugene for Lanning and his team.
“How many people get to go to work, and talk about [how] they love everybody that they get to go work with?” Lanning added. “I love our team. I love everybody in that locker room. That makes this a lot of fun.”
"What's so special about football is the love in that room… I love everybody in that locker room. That makes this a lot of fun."@oregonfootball head coach Dan Lanning spoke w/ @JennyDell_ after the Ducks took down the defending national champs pic.twitter.com/feSfl9mcWA
