What Dan Lanning said, and what we think it means for Oregon after Week 1
Summary
-
Dan Lanning attributed Oregon's avoidable penalties against Boise State to poor discipline rather than first-game nerves, making cleaner execution a concern entering the Oklahoma State trip.
-
Lanning said Oregon's offensive line protected Dante Moore well and praised both Douglas Utu and Trent Ferguson after they shared left-guard work, while identifying Ferguson's early false start as unacceptable.
-
Lanning said linebacker Dylan Williams justified his Oregon playing time through his speed and impact despite correctable mistakes, without announcing a change to the veteran linebacker hierarchy.
-
Lanning said the Boise State touchdown associated with Carl Williams IV resulted from a coverage execution error that was not Williams' mistake, and he also praised Davon Benjamin after both played in Oregon's STAR rotation.
-
Oregon plans to travel Thursday for its first road game so players have extra time to adjust to Stillwater's expected heat and a kickoff equivalent to 9 a.m. Pacific.
