Oregon held to fewest yards of Dan Lanning era in loss to Indiana
EUGENE — The lowest output of total offense of the Dan Lanning era, unsurprisingly, led Oregon’s nation-leading win streak to come to an end.
The No. 3 Ducks had just 267 yards in a 30-20 loss to No. 7 Indiana at Autzen Stadium Saturday afternoon.
It was the fewest yards for Oregon (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) since the 2021 Pac-12 Championship game and just the second time it failed to top 300 yards in Lanning’s 47 games as coach.
“It felt like they had the pen last,” Lanning said. “They had extra hats at the point of attack. In situations where we’re having to throw for it, they did a great job defending the sticks. They were aggressive.”
Dante Moore was 21 of 34 for 186 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and was sacked six times, leading to just 86 rushing yards for UO on 30 carries.
Combined with converting just 3 of 14 third downs, a turnover on downs, a couple of untimely penalties and a missed field goal, Oregon’s offense was largely ineffective against a top 10 defense from Indiana (6-0, 3-0).
“I felt like we beat ourselves when it comes to penalties, me missing reads and I feel like we didn’t have our routine, from start to end,” Moore said. “They kind of found something in our offense. We both had bye weeks and they attacked that certain area against our offense.
“We had a couple of protection issues, but that can start from me; keying the defense and getting the protection right.”
Outside of a 44-yard touchdown to Malik Benson, Oregon’s next longest pass was a pair of 18-yarders. Jordon Davison had a 26-yard run in which he spun his way off a defender, but that accounted for nearly half of his production and no other run topped seven yards.
“They won the 50-50 balls; some of those are really close as far as connection and how tight they are in coverage but they did a good job being tight in coverage,” Lanning said. “We tried to take the top off a couple of times. They did a good job being on top when we had those moments.”

Aaron Sibarium explains how Oregon County’s homeless housing scoring system prioritizes certain individuals, potentially disadvantaging others in need.
Aaron Sibarium details Multnomah County, Oregon’s, homeless housing priority system, which awards higher scores to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC residents. This system could give preference to a transgender immigrant over a homeless woman with a child. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is now investigating these race-based criteria.
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – As we approach the hottest days of the year, people are finding ways to stay cool.
It’s been two weeks since Portland turned on splash pads across the city.
The water was just one of the ways people were keeping cool on Friday.
“Did you see our cooler? We have a bunch of water in there. More water, stay in the shade, I mean look at these trees, it makes you feel comfortable,” said Beaverton resident Ailan Roman.
Oregon Health Authority says young children and older adults are just a couple of groups of people that face a higher risk of heat related illness.
OHA says in addition to staying hydrated and lounging in the shade, wearing loose fitted, lightweight clothing can make a big difference.
Roman makes sure her, and her grand kids are protected using several different defenses.
“Sunscreen, we have to put that in order to protect our skin,” Roman said.
When temperatures rise, OHA officials recommend staying in air-conditioned buildings.
But for some Portlanders, that’s not always an option, so to cool down, they must get creative.
“We get cheap kiddy pools, and we just stick our feet in it, drink lots of water and beer and weight our feet in the pool and that’s how we stay cool,” said park goer, Jill.
And most Oregonians can agree, water in all its forms is the best way to beat the heat.“You have the water view and then you have the water fountain and I think it’s quiet, I don’t see no issues around,” said Roman.
The CDC shares how you can recognize heat related illnesses. While OHA shares how to avoid issues in the heat.

The artists can begin crafting their masterpieces at 9 a.m. when the sandcastle building starts. Only natural materials native to the beach can be used.
