Oregon HC Dan Lanning Open to Making Coaching Change After UCLA Loss
The Ducks were upset by the Bruins on Saturday due in part to Oregon's poor offensive performance.
On Saturday, the No. 13 ranked Oregon Ducks suffered a dramatic 17-15 loss to the No. 21 UCLA Bruins. The Ducks' offensive performance was particularly disappointing, with seven turnovers committed during the game. Head coach Dan Lanning opted to bench Dylan Raiola at the end of the third quarter due to Raiola's poor performance, which included only 6-of-19 passes for 43 yards, two interceptions, and a fumble.
After the game, Lanning expressed his frustrations, stating that he would evaluate the performance to determine if any changes need to be made. He mentioned that the Ducks' offensive issues were not limited to Saturday's game, as they had struggled offensively in their previous four games, scoring a total of 190 points. To keep their postseason hopes alive, Lanning emphasized that the Ducks need to respond accordingly and control how they perform moving forward.
The Ducks face an unranked Nebraska team next Saturday, and it remains to be seen if offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer will still be responsible for making play calls or if Lanning will consider making a change.
