Dan Lanning is known as a player's coach, but he can deliver the tough love after a lapse in discipline.
Receiver Malik Benson became one of the heroes of the game after sprinting to an 85-yard touchdown to give Oregon a 21-14 lead, but he drew Lanning's ire for an ill-advised taunting penalty that took the Ducks from the USC 4 to the USC 19.
The penalty looked like it was going to cost the Ducks a touchdown until Desman Stephens erased a missed field goal by drawing a penalty for leaping over the center.
