Urban Meyer Makes Surprising Dan Lanning Claim After Ohio State Upset
Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning has had several highlight-worthy moments during his first five seasons in Eugene, going 54-11, including a College Football Playoff semifinal berth.
According to former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, however, the Ducks’ 41-28 upset win in Week 10 over the Buckeyes might be Lanning’s finest coaching performance yet.
It’s been a rollercoaster, a three-loss campaign for both No. 20 Ohio State (6-3, 4-2 Big Ten) and No. 16 Oregon (6-3, 4-2 Big Ten), who entered the year at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the preseason AP Poll. But the loss of quarterback Dante Moore and the dismissal of offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer have tested the Ducks’ progress.
