Oregon coach sticks knife deeper into USC with ‘petty’ shots, drops truth bomb on Trojan rivalry
USC is in hot water after its 41-27 loss to Oregon.
The Trojans’ playoff hopes are in jeopardy and head coach Lincoln Riley’s tenure with the program appears to have hit a breaking point. Oregon has taken no breaks in taking aim at USC following their victory over the No. 12 team in the country.
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning ended his postgame press conference by trolling USC.
“If you’re interested in winning football games, you’re from this area, you should go to Oregon. You want to go to a Chris Brown concert, you should go here,” he said.
Lanning discussed the incident Monday on Barstool Sports with Dave Portnoy.
“Full disclosure that was a little petty but they’ve taken plenty of shots at us. In the off-season, there was some shots taken and somebody asked me what matters most and I said winning,” Lanning said.
“And that’s where I like to go point back to is when we get the opportunity to go play them we’ve won.”
Lanning is 3-0 against the Trojans throughout his tenure as head coach of Oregon. Saturday’s feat was also an impressive finish by the Ducks as the team lost starting quarterback Dante Moore to a concussion during the second quarter of the showdown at the Coliseum.
Oregon managed to defeat USC with backup Dylan Raiola under center, shifting the narrative of the program after its shocking loss to Oklahoma State. The Trojans will have to press on even with Lanning’s continuous shots at a program that just can’t get over the hump.
