Everything Dan Lanning said ahead of Oregon's game against Nebraska

Dan Lanning, Oregon's head coach, reflected on their recent loss to Nebraska and the need for improvement. The Cornhuskers' defense was aggressive and effective, forcing the Ducks to work harder. The offense, led by Anthony Colandrea, showed signs of being a dynamic threat but struggled at times. Dylan Raiola's first start was unsuccessful, leading to Brock Thomas taking over in the fourth quarter against UCLA.

If Raiola continues to struggle, he may face a third start this season, potentially against his former team. Coach Lanning emphasized that all staff members, including offensive coordinator Bear Alexander, are under evaluation. The coach also mentioned that there would be changes in offensive play-calling and offensive line strategies but declined to reveal specifics.

The competition for starting positions was evident, with quarterback and offensive line being areas of contention. The coach expressed concern for Bear Alexander for a play that resulted in an injury, stressing the importance of aggression in such situations. The team will spend time reviewing game footage to determine if execution or scheme issues affected their offensive production.
