Oregon Ducks Coach Dan Lanning vs. Washington Huskies: "Execution Over Emotion."

Transcript

00:00Yeah, I told our team earlier,

00:06I think this is as talented a back

00:07as we've seen besides Gente earlier this season.

00:11I think they're both very comparable.

00:12You know, he's a guy, when he gets to the second level,

00:13he looks for contact.

00:15You know, he breaks more tackles

00:17probably than anyone else we've seen as well,

00:19like a lot of yards after contact.

00:21He's a great one-cut runner and stop-go, right?

00:25Like, you see acceleration for him at the second level.

00:27So, really talented player.

00:29It's going to take our best effort to get him on the ground.

00:32Middle left.

00:34What's the challenge of facing a Washington team

00:36that hasn't named a starting quarterback yet?

00:38Well, I think, you know, this is a team

00:40that's played multiple quarterbacks

00:41throughout the season.

00:42So, we've seen a little bit of both guys,

00:44and they've had times where they've actually had

00:45both guys out there on the field at the same time.

00:47So, I don't know that it presents a huge challenge.

00:50Either way, we were going to prepare for both

00:52because they've utilized both throughout the year.

00:54Back left, Matt.

00:56Having a biweek this late is pretty unique.

00:57How did you guys maximize it to get better

01:00this past week for this week?

01:02Yeah, first, we just started by looking at ourselves, right?

01:04Evaluating where the areas that we can improve,

01:07what are our strengths,

01:08you know, finding ways to be able to lean into those strengths.

01:10Then, you know, getting our legs back,

01:12getting ourself back, you know, attacking the weight room.

01:15You know, we saw great jumps in our numbers,

01:18you know, in the weight room this past week,

01:19whether it's our, you know, squat power numbers

01:22or just our speeds on the field.

01:23So, I think that those are all positives.

01:25We're going to go into this game,

01:26you know, playing really fresh at the end.
