Notable quotes from defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi after Ducks’ practice

“We didn’t play well enough,” Tosh Lupoi said of Oregon’s 2022 defense. “We can continue to climb to improve and that’s what we’re doing right now.”

The Dan Lanning era for the Oregon Ducks has brought many great things to the program. However, one of the few downsides of his tenure in Eugene is the fact that he rarely makes his coordinators available to the media. Under Mario Cristobal, we were able to talk to both offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead and defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter each and every week, but under Lanning, that has changed.

The last time that we got to talk to DC Tosh Lupoi was back in August during fall camp. So on Thursday, when he was made available to the media following the Ducks’ fourth practice of the year, there were a lot of questions to ask, and a lot of things to talk about.

Between the frustrating 2022 season defensively, the new players coming in, the new coaches on the staff, and many other things, Lupoi was a busy man answering questions. Here are some of the most notable quotes from him on Thursday.
