30 Aug
Summary
- Lanning's Ducks boast an impressive record in non-conference games.
- Several key wins highlight Oregon's strength under Lanning.
- Upcoming season opener features a highly anticipated matchup.
Since Coach Dan Lanning took the helm in 2022, the Oregon Ducks have established a formidable presence, especially in non-conference matchups. Their sole defeat in such games occurred at the start of Lanning's tenure against the Georgia Bulldogs. The Ducks' upcoming season opener on September 5th against the Boise State Broncos at Autzen Stadium prompts a review of their standout non-conference victories.
Under Lanning, the Ducks have secured notable wins, including a dominant 69-3 victory over Oklahoma State in 2025, powered by quarterback Dante Moore's performance. Another significant win was the 38-30 triumph against Texas Tech in 2023, sealed by a pick-six from Jeffrey Bassa, with Bo Nix leading the offense. The team also achieved a decisive 41-20 win against BYU in 2022, setting the tone for a successful 10-3 season.
The 2024 season saw the Ducks achieve an undefeated regular season, culminating in a thrilling 37-34 victory over Boise State, decided by a last-second field goal. Despite a CFP Quarterfinal loss to Ohio State, Oregon's strong showing has cemented Lanning's reputation. The upcoming season opener against Boise State is anticipated to be a highly competitive game, with the Ducks currently favored.
