Zero loses, eleven victories. Six of them are at home, while the others are traveling. With another win, the Oregon Ducks, who are without a doubt among the most formidable teams in the NCAAF this season, are getting closer to having a perfect regular-season record. The Ducks, led by Dan Lanning, are aware that no team will find them easy to play against, and their head coach made that very evident.
The team captained by Dillon Gabriel narrowly overcame Wisconsin, the most recent victim, 16–13, despite having home advantage. Even though they didn’t play their best game, Oregon won again and continued their winning streak as the tournament nears its conclusion.
The Ducks have only been on the ropes during a game twice this season. Ohio State and Boise State were the opponents of the first and second games, respectively. Nonetheless, the coach demonstrated to the other teams that his guys are capable of handling hardship.
HC Dan Lanning said, “We can handle critical moments,” according to ESPN.com’s Jake Trotter. “We can manage when things get difficult, and eventually, that experience will benefit us.” Tonight, it really paid off for us.
What is currently one of the most formidable title challengers in college football has just one game left. The game in question is scheduled for next Saturday, November 30, in Eugene, and it will be versus Washington.
Lanning’s opinions on the triumph over Wisconsin
It’s obvious that the Ducks didn’t have their finest game. Their coach is aware of it as well. In the last seconds of the game, a team that had been outscoring every opponent could only win by a slim margin of three points. During the press conference after the game, Lanning discussed his feelings about the performance.
The HC said, “I don’t know about risk overthinking.” In essence, we stated that we would run it if we thought we liked the appearance, but we didn’t, and we would take a game and punt delay. When we were wearing the style we loved, they literally checked us out of that particular style. However, our men performed the scrambling drill well. We should give T Ferg, the offensive line, and Dillon credit for seizing that chance.
He also explicitly mentioned the odd play that quarterback Dillon Gabriel was involved in: “Yes, we most likely had some luck there, don’t we?” “Lanning said.” “However, we also had a play where the player made a fantastic catch, and Dillon made a really good play to keep it going and find someone down the field.”
The Ducks’ last stretch of play
Perhaps not by dominating this time, but by persevering and winning a game that was difficult from the beginning, the Oregon Ducks demonstrated their strength once more.
Dan Lanning’s team faces Washington soon, which will be the last difficult challenge for the Ducks, who want to end the regular season undefeated.
Oregon is aware that the playoffs are rapidly approaching. Their supporters are more thrilled than ever about the prospect of a last title, and the expectations are great.
