The 2025 season was expected to be a rebuilding year for Dan Lanning’s Oregon squad due to the number of young players on both offense and defense. However, the Ducks now hold a perfect 5-0 record with their 30-24 double-overtime win at Penn State on Saturday, and Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt has high praise for their rapid rise.“They have come out and melded early in this season into one of the best teams in college football," Klatt said on his "The Joel Klatt Show" on Wednesday. "This is not a program where Dan Lanning entered the fray and got that job and said, ‘OK, like, how do we win the Pac-12?’ He went there to build them into a national title contender.“That's exactly what he's done. That's the way they play. It doesn't matter that they're in the Big Ten or what conference they're in. They're constructed to go out and beat the best teams in college football because they've got size, they've got speed, they've got answers.”Oregon started the season ranked No. 7 in the nation but now holds the No. 2 spot in the latest AP poll.Lanning now possesses the record of 18 consecutive conference wins. A major reason to his success this season has been his choice to make Dante Moore the Ducks' QB1.Some analysts criticized the move at first, but Moore has silenced his critics with consecutive phenomenal performances.Moore's best outing came against Penn State on Saturday, when he completed 29 of 39 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 35 yards on 10 carries, while avoiding turnovers and not being sacked once during the game.Dan Lanning opens up about growth opportunity at OregonIn Oregon's debut Big Ten season in 2024, Dan Lanning's squad claimed the conference championship. Now, the Ducks remain undefeated this season as well.After Oregon’s Week 5 win over Penn State, Lanning spoke about the importance of constant development within the program.“We got to go attack our flaws, figure out what we can improve,” Lanning said (via SI). “This program is about growth. It doesn’t matter if you’re a freshman or a senior.“It doesn’t matter if you’re a offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator, a graduate assistant or quality control coach, you got to grow. A head coach, got to grow. I got to get better. This is going to be an opportunity for us to keep learning and keep getting better.”Oregon will host No. 8 Indiana on Oct. 11.
