Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning evaluates the Oregon State Beavers and 'super athletic' quarterback Gevani McCoy ahead of the most iconic rivalry in the state of Oregon’s football history.
For Oregonians, there’s something special in the air this week. Green and yellow as well as orange and black appear more often on flags outside of garages, t-shirts on passing strangers, advertising at super markets, decorations on cars; just about everywhere there’s a proverbial line being drawn.
“The rivalry is something I always appreciate,” Lanning said. “You know, I think that makes college football fun. I think those things are a lot of fun. And this is a game that's had a back and forth for us. Year one, we weren't able to pull it out. You know, last year we were. But this is a fun game for the state of Oregon. It's certainly a fun game for our players. I think they know exactly what it means. It means a little bit more.
“They've had some success these first couple weeks, done a really good job around the ball. I think they’re a really well coached team,”. “You know, playing quarterback has done an unbelievable job. We actually watched a lot of his film before because he was at Idaho. So super athletic. The run game is really good. Defensively, like they've always been since I've been here, really sound and create some tough looks. So it's going to be a fun challenge for us.
