During every walk-through before Oregon games, coach Dan Lanning and Ducks players review an important and specific set of plays, broadly and innocuously labeled: "College football situations." Some plays stay the same and some are added.
Oregon staff members collect examples from around the football universe and watch the film of how the plays unfold. Then, Ducks players and coaches rehearse, hoping preparation will pay off but mindful that the right time might never come.
"The amount of different situations you work week to week that never really show up, whether it's intentionally taking a safety or whatever that might be, you spend an ungodly amount of time on it," Lanning told ESPN three days after the Ohio State game.
