Notable quotes from Dan Lanning as Ducks prepare for Beavers rivalry game

“I love rivalries when it comes to rivalries in college football. This is certainly one of the great ones and I think our guys are excited and ready to go play.”

It was an emotional win for the Oregon Ducks over the weekend, with a beat-up squad taking down the No. 10 Utah Utes and keeping their Pac-12 Championship hopes alive.

Those emotions aren’t expected to be turned down any time soon, with an intense rivalry game against the No. 22 Oregon State Beavers coming up at Reser Stadium this weekend for the Ducks’ regular-season finale.

On Monday night, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning met with media members as he always does to put some finishing touches on the previous game and start looking ahead to the next game on the schedule. There was a lot of rivalry talk and several injury questions. Here are some of the most notable quotes from that interview.
