NERVOUS About Oregon After CLOSE Win Over Boise State? | What’s Going On With Dan Lanning’s Ducks?
Oregon Football coach Dan Lanning was available to media Monday for his game week press conference and discussed Oregon’s offensive line, running back Jay Harris, Oregon State’s backfield, and more. Below are his most notable quotes from the presser as well as my thoughts at the end.
Opening Statement:
“Excited to get back to it. The guys had a good day of prep but I just want to take the time to thank our fans at Autzen, I thought they were unbelievable this week.”
“I’m obviously very excited to play Oregon State, I know they’ve had some success these first couple of weeks. They do a great job of running the ball and they’re a really well-coached team.”
On young players‘ lack of playing time on the offensive line:
“I don’t know that any of those guys have earned that opportunity in practice. There isn’t a huge separation from the top to the bottom of our group right now.”
“If they were going to be able to help us that would show up in practice before it showed up in games.”
On the feel of the Civil War rivalry without conference implications:
“This game has been fun for us and our players. I know it means a lot to the fans and we’ve had some good battles with the Beavers the last few years.”
On running back Jay Harris’ progress and development in Oregon’s offense:
“Jay’s working his tail off, he’s doing an unbelievable job for us and I know that when his time comes he’ll be able to do a really good job. He’s been practicing hard and he’s continuing to create roles for himself so hopefully that gives him an opportunity to be on the field for us at some point.”
On frequent rotation of offensive linemen through two games:
“We’re going to continue to rotate guys until we find the combination that works best for us, knowing that there may be a rotation throughout the season.”
On the Oregon secondary’s performance early in the season:
“Our guys have done a good job on pass breakups and 50/50 balls. I think we’re playing tight in coverage and that showed up at times on Saturday.”
On Oregon State’s running back room:
“They run really hard. They do a really good job of being patient then creating burst when the hole opens up.”
On relying on speed and explosion from special teams:
“I always want to focus on special teams. I always want to be able to win games with special teams. If we have an opportunity to get gains in returns then we absolutely want to do that.”
On defensive tackle Derrick Harmon‘s immediate impact on the pass rush:
“He’s explosive. He studies his own game really well and he’s very consistent in his approach and he wants to be coached hard. He’s a big guy that moves with speed and he’s someone who can really affect the opponent.”
On rotation of centers through two games:
“We rotated last year so if our best chance to win is having one guy play the whole game, we’ll do that. If a guy snaps the ball better but gets blown off the ball every time then that’s not advantageous.”
Linden’s take:
I thought we got some really good stuff from Lanning in this interview. He seems to have a good respect for Oregon State’s continuity in their soundness and physicality from a year ago.
I thought the most interesting quote he gave was in discussing the younger players on Oregon’s offensive line. It’s a bit disappointing to hear that none of the freshmen have earned the right to play basically any snaps so far and it’ll be interesting to see if that changes as the season progresses.
Lanning touched on the strong backfield tandem Oregon State fields with Jam Griffin and Anthony Hankerson who’ve both had good performances in the Beavers’ first two games. With the way Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty carved up the Ducks’ defense, keeping containment on those two will be paramount this week.

An Oregon man accused of killing a nurse reported missing days after returning home from her wedding made his first court appearance on Monday.
The Beaverton Police Department arrested Jonathan Bryce Schubert, 27, who authorities say was a neighbor to Melissa Jubane, 32, whose body was found days after she was reported missing when she failed to show up for her shift at work.
Officials said Schubert is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping, and second-degree abuse of a corpse. He is being held without bail at the Washington County jail due to the murder charge.
Schubert appeared on video during Monday’s hearing and did not enter a plea during his arraignment, according to KATU News.

Officials said that as a result of an extensive investigation, it was determined that Schubert was involved in her disappearance.
FOX 12 reported that Schubert worked as a nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center from September 2022 to October 2023. However, Schubert was not employed at Providence St. Vincent, where Melissa worked, Providence said in a statement Saturday morning.
Beaverton police confirmed on Saturday that the remains of Jubane were found following a three-day search and just two weeks after she tied the knot with Bryan Llantero, a native of Kalihi, Hawaii.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the community members who have assisted with the search for Melissa. Our deepest condolences go out to Melissa’s family, friends and coworkers,” Beaverton police said in a previous statement.
“While we acknowledge the significant community interest and concern, we must withhold further details to preserve the integrity of the investigation,” the statement continued.
Jubane’s family declined to comment on the investigation, but provided a statement to KATU News.

“We are extremely grateful for the detectives and other staff working diligently on this case, for the love and support we are receiving from the entire nation (especially from the city of Beaverton and the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, her work family at Providence St Vincent’s, and the Llantero family), and for all the prayers.”
The Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) also released a statement and offered full support to anyone suffering from Jubane’s death.
“The Oregon Nurses Association is devastated by the loss of Melissa Jubane, an extraordinary nurse at St. Vincents Hospital and a member of the Oregon Nurses Association. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Melissa during this incredibly difficult time. We stand with our community in mourning and offer our full support to all those impacted by this devastating loss.”
The organization held a vigil in Jubane’s honor on Monday evening.

![Oregon Women’s Basketball Nonconference Schedule Released: Exciting Home Games Oregon Women’s Basketball Nonconference Schedule Released: Exciting Home Games](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4893,h_2752,x_0,y_153/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/ducks_digest/01j7c7jk4rtynefbs1yw.jpg)
The Oregon Women’s basketball nonconference schedule features nine home games at Matthew Knight Arena in November and December. Oregon coach Kelly Graves and his team are preparing for their first season in the Big Ten conference.
Get ready to watch elite talent, Ducks fans!
In total, Oregon’s nonconference slate features five teams that qualified for last season’s NCAA Tournament in Auburn, Baylor, California Baptist, South Dakota State and UC Irvine.
The Ducks will tip off the 2024-25 basketball season on Monday, November 4th, against California Baptist, a program that made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in program history last season. The Ducks will welcome Nevada for their second game of the season on November 6th.
Oregon will then face one of the most dominant women’s basketball programs in the nation in Baylor on November 10th. The Bears have won three national championships and nine Big Twelve conference championships, including four straight titles from 2012 to 2019.
Ducks will welcome Grand Canyon (Nov. 18), Auburn (Nov. 20), Washington State (Dec. 4), Air Force (Dec. 17) and UC Irvine (Dec. 19) to Eugene.
The two away games on the nonconference schedule are when Oregon flies to the Hawai’i North Shore Showcase in Laie, Hawai’i. The Ducks face Georgia Tech on Monday, Nov. 25 and finish the three-team tournament the following day against South Dakota State.
The Ducks’ Big Ten schedule will be announced at a later date with start times and broadcast information.
Graves is entering his 11th season as the head coach of the Ducks and 27th season leading a Division I program.
“We’re gonna bring a lot to the Big Ten,” Graves said to the Big Ten Network. “We’re excited about joining but I think people are kind of intrigued a little bit and excited about going to Eugene and seeing what the University of Oregon is about.”
“It’s gonna be a challenge,” Graves said. “But I’m looking forward to it. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? I’m gonna have to be ready for it because it gonna be a heck of a conference.”
The Ducks are looking to turn it around in 2024. Last season, the Ducks had a challenging season, finishing 11-21 with a record-breaking 14 consecutive losses.
During the offseason, Graves retooled by adding seven transfers to the team.
Salimatou Kourouma, Amina Muhammad, Ari Long, Nani Falatea, Alexis Whitfield, Elisa Mevius, and Deja Kelly will all play for Oregon in the 2024 season.

Oregon State Broke A 48-Year-Old Program Record In Week 2 Win at San Diego State
![Oregon State Broke A 48-Year-Old Program Record In Week 2 Win at San Diego State Oregon State Broke A 48-Year-Old Program Record In Week 2 Win at San Diego State](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3655,h_2055,x_0,y_169/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/oregon-state-beavers-on-si/01j7b1xta1a3jffpxqs7.jpg)
The Oregon State Beavers picked up their first road win of the Trent Bray era of Saturday with a 21-0 shutout against San Diego State.
“I thought they did a great job making them earn everything, just keeping the ball in front of us,” said Oregon State head coach Trent Bray after the win. As the Beavers former defensive coordinator, the nature of the win was no doubt a point of extra pride for Bray.
The Beaver defense allowed just seven total first downs against the Aztecs and held them to two third-down conversions on 12 attempts. That allowed OSU to dominate the time-of-possession, holding the ball for 41 minutes.
Also adding to the significance of the win was the length of time a win like this actually happened for the Beavers. the last time that Oregon State shutout an opponent in a road win, the year was 1976. OSU beat Hawaii 59-0 in Honolulu that season.
In general, their last road shutout was at Oregon in 1983, but that chapter of the storied rivalry ended in a 0-0 tie. Now, the Beavers prepare for the latest chapter of their rivalry with Oregon: this Saturday 14 at Reser Stadium. Kick off is scheduled for 12:30 PM PT on FOX.
