Oregon Ducks Coach Dan Lanning discusses the Ducks handling adversity during the game

Transcript

00:00I thought we liked a little killer instinct there at the end.

00:06And that's, you know, our standard can't change.

00:09I want to give a lot of credit to Northwestern.

00:11I thought they came out here with a good plan.

00:13They executed well on their side of the ball and outside of some turnovers,

00:17you know, I think they were right in this game.

00:19But they had a good plan for us, they executed well.

00:22I thought we came with some answers and were able to create some things there,

00:25especially early in the second half, create some of our run game that we

00:29needed to have in this game.

00:30I thought our quarterback made great decisions.

00:33But ultimately, those takeaways and being able to score early and

00:37play some good defense early, more advantageous defense than great defense,

00:41allowed us to come away with a win.

00:43Right here in the middle, Matt.

00:44I feel like the team handled adversity for the first time.

00:48Yeah, good and bad.

00:49Like there's going to be some film for us to be able to go back and really attack.

00:53And again, I think they had some good answers that we have to have a good plan

00:56for moving forward.

00:57I thought the energy on the sideline was really good.

00:59Just disappointed with the last couple of drives on both sides of the ball.

01:02We kind of charted that throughout.

01:03We knew this was going to be a limited possession game with the way that they

01:06play football.

01:07They did a really good job of eating the clock.

01:09We got to take advantage of every series, right, on both sides of the ball.

01:13And at times we did that, at times we didn't.

01:15Ultimately, the demeanor on the sideline was great.

01:17The playing for each other was great.

01:19Guys were focused and attentive.

01:20But we just didn't finish the way that I want to finish.

01:24We're back.
