Everything Dan Lanning said in press conference before Week 2 game

Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning expressed disappointment after his team's narrow 34-27 victory over Boise State in their Week 2 opener. The Ducks were criticized for being sloppy throughout the game, committing 10 penalties for 90 yards that ultimately led to Boise State's scoring opportunities. Despite these setbacks, Oregon managed to overcome a 10-point deficit and secure the win.

Looking ahead, Oregon will face a new Oklahoma State team in their first-ever road game of the season, as the Cowboys have 91 new scholarship players. Lanning praised Coach Eric Morris for the upcoming challenge and acknowledged the strong atmosphere at Oklahoma State, which is unfamiliar territory for the Ducks.

Lanning addressed the team's response to the close victory, noting that while there were positive individual performances, there were also areas for improvement. Situational football proved to be a challenge, with missed tackles, poor fourth-down conversions, and missed calls contributing to the loss.

Regarding offensive line performance, Lanning praised the unit for working together as a unit and protecting the quarterback. However, there were moments where the line struggled, allowing explosive plays by the opposing team. As for linebacker Dylan Williams, Lanning highlighted his fast-paced play style and his potential to impact the game positively. Lastly, Lanning confirmed that Oregon had not had any discussions with Oklahoma State recruit Drew Mestemaker prior to the season.
