Oregon Ducks Coach Dan Lanning Discusses Washington Matchup

Transcript

00:00First practice here today, kind of hopping into Washington.

00:08Certainly a team that has some talent

00:10and really well-coached team.

00:12You know, I got a lot of respect for Coach Fish

00:13and the job that he's done,

00:14and I've had an opportunity to go against him before,

00:17and I think he always does a good job with his team,

00:19and I think you can see that with this group here.

00:22On the left, here.

00:24Yeah, following up on that, what do you remember

00:25from that game a couple years ago against Arizona?

00:28Stands out. Is it similar how they coached the team

00:30to where they are this year?

00:31I think what, you know, they've always done a good job of

00:34is adapting to the personnel they have,

00:36you know, and taking advantage of it,

00:37but you see, you know, things that cause stress,

00:39you know, on both sides of the ball,

00:40and obviously it's a different defense

00:42now that they're running in Washington,

00:45but they still cause stress.

00:46They make it tough for you to game plan

00:48because they have answers within their scheme,

00:50and, again, they make an impact out there on the field.

00:53Back right here.

00:55Washington has gone towards their true freshman quarterback

00:58more over the past couple weeks.

01:00Just what have you seen from him on film

01:02and what makes him a threat?

01:03Yeah, he's a guy that can operate.

01:05He has, you know, great athleticism,

01:07but he can make great throws as well.

01:08I think you see that show up, you know,

01:10so I don't see a huge change in their system.

01:13They're both guys that can operate the system.

01:15I think he just becomes a threat from a run-game standpoint,

01:18what he can do with his legs. He's very athletic.

01:20You have to be aware of where he's at at all times,

01:23and, you know, then Rodgers as well has been a guy

01:25that's won a lot of football games

01:26and can throw the ball really well, too,

01:27so they do a good job matching their scheme

01:30to those guys' traits and skill set.
