Notable quotes from Dan Lanning following Ducks’ first scrimmage of fall camp

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning met with media members after the teams’ first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday.

It wasn’t quite live-action, but it was the closest that the Oregon Ducks have gotten since April 29 earlier this year during the annual spring game.

On Saturday afternoon, the Ducks hosted their first scrimmage of the 2023 fall camp. It wasn’t open to media members, so unfortunately we can not give you the breakdown on what happened.

Afterwards, however, head coach Dan Lanning met with reporters to talk about what went down though, and he highlighted a number of players who stood out and things that the team needs to work on going forward.

Here are some of the most notable quotes from that interview:

Notable quotes from Oregon DC Tosh Lupoi after Ducks’ second practice

Oregon defensive coordinator met with the media for the first time during fall camp and this is what he had to say.

After the 2022 season, the overwhelming sentiment for the Oregon Ducks was that in order for them to reach the highest level of success in the future, there would have to be some notable improvements on defense.

That starts with defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi.

Over the offseason, Lupoi and head coach Dan Lanning brought in a number of transfer players on that side of the ball, hoping to improve in what is expected to be an offensively dominant year in the Pac-12. While fall camp is still incredibly young, Lupoi told media members after practice on Thursday that he is starting to see some of the pieces come together.

Notable quotes from Dan Lanning following Oregon’s first fall practice

Oregon Ducks head coach met with media members following the first fall camp practice of the 2023 season.

Cleats officially hit the turf on Wednesday afternoon for the first time during the 2023 college football season in Eugene. The second year for head coach Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks is underway.

The team held its first fall practice on Wednesday afternoon. While the players were not yet in full pads, the tempo was quickened and the intensity was high. While a good portion of this team was here for the spring football season earlier in the year, new additions finally took the field for the Ducks this fall, including a handful of new transfers and almost a dozen true freshmen that arrived over the summer.

After practice, Lanning met with media members to discuss how things went, and what they can continue to improve upon going forward. Here are some of the most notable quotes from his interview.

7 major questions for the Oregon Ducks to answer in 2023 fall camp

Fall camp is now underway for the Ducks. What are the biggest questions that they need to answer going into 2023?

The Oregon Ducks will at long last get back onto the football field this afternoon with the 2023 fall camp officially getting underway.

Dan Lanning will kick off his second year as the Ducks’ head coach, this time with a nice, lucrative new contract under his belt that will keep him in Eugene for the foreseeable future. Alongside Lanning will be over 50 new faces on the roster, all of whom came to Oregon either as high school recruits or via the transfer portal.

After a successful 10-3 season that ended in a Holiday Bowl victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels a year ago, the Ducks have high expectations going into this new season. With veteran QB Bo Nix returning for another year of college and looking like an early Heisman Trophy favorite, the offense projects to be one of the best in the nation once again. On the other side of the ball, the defense has some questions to answer, but based on the talent acquisition and the coaching, fans largely feel confident about where things stand.

So as we get rolling into fall camp and start heading towards the start of the season on September 2 against the Portland State Vikings, what are some of the biggest questions that Oregon needs to answer when it comes to their roster and the overall outlook of the program?

Here are a few:

‘Effort don’t take talent;’ Coach Carlos Locklyn brings physical mentality to Oregon RB room

Oregon coach Carlos Locklyn believes he’s the best RB on the Ducks. He brings that confident mentality to a loaded RB room.

The Oregon Ducks have a history of putting forth a strong and extremely respectable group of running backs. From LaMichael James and Royce Freeman to Jonathan Stewart and DeAnthony Thomas, the Ducks are known for a stout stable of RBs.

That doesn’t look to be changing under the new coaching staff, with RB coach Carlos Locklyn at the helm.

We talked a lot to Locklyn over the spring months as he worked to rebuild the RB room following a number of transfers. Through the transfer portal and an impressive stretch of recruiting, the Ducks are once again looking strong in the backfield.

For the first time this fall, media members had a chance to talk to Locklyn following the sixth practice of the season. Here are some of the most notable quotes:

Everything Dan Lanning said after Oregon’s first practice of 2022 fall camp

The 2022 season is officially underway. Here’s what Dan Lanning had to say after the first practice on Friday.

The 2022 fall football season is officially underway in Eugene.

The Oregon Ducks got out on the practice field at long last on Friday afternoon, starting what will be a month-long prep for their first game of the season against the defending champion Georgia Bulldogs.

We saw a good glimpse of what the new era of Duck football would look like earlier this year during the spring season,  but now it’s time to get down to business. Health matters, depth charts matter, and all of the little things need to be taken care of.

After the first practice on the season on Friday, media members got a chance to talk to head coach Dan Lanning and hear how things went. Here’s a transcript of what he said:
