Oregon Ducks Coach Dan Canning Talks Recruiting During the Bye Week

Transcript

00:00Regardless of where bi-week is at, it's about your ability to take advantage of the time

00:07that's allotted to you.

00:09So if it was earlier, I think we would have tried to do the same thing, but ultimately

00:13we always want to take advantage of every moment.

00:15There's a little bit of chaos in college football right now with where things fall, whether

00:18it's signing day, whether it's portal, windows, and all those things have changed a lot.

00:24So I think all of us are learning how to adapt, but you certainly don't let moments like the

00:28bi-week go by that you don't take advantage of that time.

00:31Simplest of terms, just what does this rivalry mean to you?

00:36Yeah, it's a great opportunity.

00:38I think college football rivalries are extremely special.

00:41You know, I think that's one of the things that make this fun, the excitement that surrounds

00:44the fans, the alumni, the people that have been a part of games like this for a long

00:50time.

00:51It means a lot to us, certainly, but ultimately it is another game, right?

00:54It's the next game.

00:56You don't get out there playing with emotion.

00:58It's about execution over emotion.

01:00So these games are going to have emotion.

01:02That's the way these games are played, but that's not what's going to lead to success

01:05on the field.

01:06Back left, Matt.

01:07You could have five, six more games this season and teams across the country are going to

01:12play more than they've ever played.

01:13How do you feel like you've managed to develop depth and then manage that depth over the

01:18course of the season to be ready for five or six more games?

01:21Yeah, I think it's preparation throughout the year and always thinking about thinking

01:26forward with your roster and what that looks like and doing a great job of developing your

01:29roster, right?

01:30To where when things happen, we've had injuries that have happened this year, being in position

01:34to have great players that can go in there and make an impact.
