Everything Dan Lanning said ahead of Oregon’s road showdown with USC
- Ahead of USC, Dan Lanning said Oregon receiver Jeremiah McClellan broke his foot during pregame warmups against Portland State and will miss time. Lanning did not give a return date.
- Lanning said Carl Williams IV should return for Oregon against USC. Jalen Lott has resumed practicing, but Lanning does not expect him to play in that game; practicing again is not the same as confirmed game availability.
- Lanning put Oregon's Portland State pass rush in context: 37 defensive snaps, six dropback passes and about three quarterback hits, with cut protection and eight-man play-action protection limiting opportunities. He called USC a better test of the rush and did not treat the prior game's sack output alone as cause for concern.

Is Lanning's Coaching Staff Too Young?
- Pick/market: I grew up in a day when we were lucky to win 2 or 3 games in a season with some very experienced staffs....granted I'm frustrated given the high expectations coming into the season...
