Oregon’s Dan Lanning drills Colorado: ‘They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins’

Oregon’s Dan Lanning has no plans of taking his foot off the accelerator against Deion Sanders and Colorado.

Up 35-0 at halftime, he expressed to ABC his team isn’t finished.

“We’re not done yet,” he said. “We’re composed. We executed at a high level. We’re not done yet. We’re not satisfied. I hope those people who have been watching every week are watching this week.”

Oregon quarterback Bo Nix is 22 of 24 for 217 yards and three touchdowns in the first half. He has also rushed for a touchdown.

Meanwhile, Colorado has just 21 yards of offense to Oregon’s to 378.

Lanning’s pregame speech made the rounds prior to halftime, though, in which he made it clear what was at stake.

“(Oregon is) rooted in substance, not flash. … Today, we talk with our pads.”

He also mentioned, “The Cinderella story is over, men. Right? They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins. There’s a difference.”

Then, he said, “This game ain’t going to be played in Hollywood. It’s going to be played on the grass.”
