Overview

  • Oregon’s coach declared on College GameDay that he is committed to the program long term, saying, “This will be my spot” and “This is where I’m at forever.”
  • The Ducks beat No. 15/16 USC 42-27 to move to 10-1, preserving Big Ten title and College Football Playoff hopes that now hinge on beating Washington and an Ohio State loss to Michigan.
  • The win triggered a one-year extension through January 2032 with $10.6 million in salary plus $1 million deferred, the only automatic extension available under his amended contract.
  • After the game, Lanning highlighted late-season schedule disparities by noting Oregon “didn’t play Chattanooga State today,” as several SEC contenders faced FCS or lower-tier opponents.
  • Oregon’s depth held up despite injuries and its defense limited USC to 52 rushing yards, a focal point in the game plan that helped secure the result.
