The White Out was supposed to be intimidating, a wall of noise and energy that reduces opposing teams to a puddle of urine and a fumbling, false-starting mess.
It didn't work out that way. Oregon won 30-24 in double overtime without a single false start by the offensive line and no turnovers. The Ducks executed cleanly, outgaining No. 3 PSU 424-276, converting 5-7 times on fourth down.
Oregon's mental preparation was pitch perfect. They embraced the White Out. They owned it. When the crowd danced and sang they bobbed their heads in eagerness.
Aided by sports psychologist Cory Shaffer, Dan Lanning prepares the Oregon Ducks with a fierce mental edge.
