"We're not done yet" - Dan Lanning vows to humble Deion Sanders' Colorado as halftime interview catches instant fire
Oregon coach Dan Lanning has kept his team motivated to come out and perform against the Colorado Buffaloes. The two undefeated teams have begun 3-0 in non-conference play, but the hype surrounding the No. 19 Colorado Buffaloes has annoyed Lanning.
The No. 10 Ducks have dominated the first half of the game, as they went into the halftime break with a dominant 35-0 lead and have held the Buffaloes to just 23 total yards.
While being interviewed on the sideline before entering the locker room for halftime, Oregon coach Dan Lanning told ESPN's Katie George how he feels about the team's play.
"(We're) not done yet. We have been composed, executing at a very high level," Lanning said. "We're not done yet, we are not satisfied. I hope all those people that have been watching (Colorado) every week are watching this week."
Those are very pointed words coming from the Oregon coach. These Ducks have been clicking on all cylinders in front of a national crowd, and people were counting Oregon out. The feeling is that the Ducks will not put the brakes up and continue trying to embarrass the Buffaloes as much as possible.
This is also the first game that Colorado is without wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter, so the game planning has changed, but it should not be the sole reason why the score is as lopsided as it is.
Oregon entered this game as a 21-point home favorite, and it seems that people betting on that side feel very comfortable, but there is still a lot of play left.
