Dan Lanning is on the verge of leading Oregon to a potential College Football Playoff spot, and it all hinges on the upcoming Pac-12 Championship Game this Friday.
Oregon’s impressive season, with 11 wins out of 12 games, has garnered praise from none other than Urban Meyer. Meyer holds Lanning in high regard and believes he’s been a significant challenge for the opposing teams.
In Meyer’s words, Lanning is a “pain in the ass” for the teams facing Oregon, and he recognizes the disruptive impact Lanning’s coaching style has on every snap. Lanning’s approach aligns with the idea of making life difficult for the opponent, and it’s something that resonates with Meyer.
While some might debate whether Oregon is the best team in the country, Meyer is not one to bet against them. He acknowledges the strength of Oregon’s performance this season.
This Friday night, Lanning will aim to harness that energy as Oregon seeks revenge against Washington, the only team to defeat them this year. The Pac-12 Championship Game, set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET, will be televised on ABC.
