In-state rivalries are always entertaining. It’s no different for Dan Lanning’s Oregon Ducks whenever they face the Oregon State Beavers.
Lanning is entering his fourth year as the Ducks’ head coach. He has provided tremendous success to the program, transforming them into a powerhouse in the Pac-12 and Big Ten.
He took part in an interview with On3, going over the team’s rivalry against Oregon State. The schools have faced each other 128 times, including every year since 1945. The Ducks lead the all-time series 68-51-10 over the Beavers. They will play against each other again this season on Sept. 20.
“I’m all for it,” Lanning said. “It’s a great rivalry. We want to continue playing it.”
“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.”
