I sat down with Oregon Ducks football coach Dan Lanning on Wednesday for a wide-ranging, exclusive interview. We talked about UO’s upcoming game against Washington, football, family traditions, Thanksgiving, the win over USC, and more.

Did you notice the pre-game notes that USC distributed to the media?

Lanning did.

The Trojans noted that it was “Duck Hunting Season” and pointed out that USC led Oregon, 11-0, when it came to national championships. Lanning used that as motivation in his pregame speech with the team.

“It was brought to me a little bit before that team meeting,” Lanning told me. “Credit to the CBS staff for pointing it out to me and letting me take a look at it.”

I asked Lanning what he thought about USC’s band, which plays incessantly during games.

Said Lanning: “I never heard their band.”
