<\/picture><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe Oregon Ducks and\u00a0Ohio State Buckeyes\u00a0will face off in the Rose Bowl for a spot in the College Football Playoff Semifinals. This is arguably the biggest game for the Ducks program since the 2015 National Championship game, which was also against Ohio State. Lanning isn\u2019t one to shy away from the pressure of the big game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re in moments like this, you\u2019re certainly going to feel pressure. I think anybody who says they\u2019re not, they\u2019re lying. . . . You want to be in positions where pressure is applied,\u201d Lanning said.<\/p>\n
Lanning cited a line Georgia Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said about the pressure of being in big games. Lanning coached under Smart at Georgia before taking the Oregon job.<\/p>\n
\u201cKirby (Smart) said it before but I agree with him: \u2018Pressure is a privilege.\u2019 If you put yourself in position to where you’re going to have pressure, that’s something you have to be able to handle,\u201d Lanning said. \u201cAnd our team’s handled it really well so far, have to continue to do so down the stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ducks have passed every test so far this season and enter Wednesday afternoon\u2019s game with a perfect 13-0 record and a\u00a0Big Ten championship.<\/p>\n
Dan Lanning on Ohio State: \u201cThey Have A Lot Of Strengths\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Oregon and Ohio State met earlier this year at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks won an exciting 32-31 game in mid-October. It wouldn\u2019t shock anyone if the rematch also comes down to the wire.<\/p>\n \u201cThey (Ohio State) have a lot of strengths,\u201d Lanning said. \u201cThey\u2019re really good on both sides of the ball and on special teams.\u201d<\/p>\n For Oregon to beat Ohio State again, they will have to be on their A-game. The Ducks have answered the bell at every turn this year. Lanning was asked how they can keep it going as the playoff gets underway.<\/p>\n \u201cThe way you maintain it is you win. You do it by focusing on each play, each moment not making it bigger than it is,\u201d Lanning said. \u201cEverybody has a job for the team, doing that job for your team. If we do that, things will go the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n 2024 was Oregon\u2019s first as a member of the Big Ten conference. The Ducks weren\u2019t phased at all and won the conference championship in year. It\u2019s safe to say Lanning is happy to be in the Big Ten.<\/p>\n \u201cI think [the Big Ten] is a physical conference. it\u2019s obviously one of the best conferences, if not the best conference in college football,\u201d Lanning said. \u201cI\u2019m glad that we get to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Even with the 2024 Big Ten Championship trophy sitting in Eugene, Oregon still has work to do to get the ultimate prize.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oregon Ducks\u00a0coach\u00a0Dan Lanning\u00a0has his team in the\u00a0College Football Playoff\u00a0for the first time since he took over the helm in 2022.
