When Oregon head coach Dan Lanning took the podium for his Monday press conference, he immediately complimented Ohio State.
"Big game here. We are certainly excited for this opportunity," he said. "Getting to play a great opponent this week. (They’re) strong in all three phases. As a team, when you watch them, you really don’t see a weakness. They’re really strong across the board. This will be a great challenge for us. I know our fans will be great again this weekend. That will make that a fun atmosphere for us.”
Over the next 12 minutes, Lanning received 10 questions about the second-ranked Buckeyes, whom the third-ranked Ducks will welcome into Autzen Stadium on Saturday.
