The No. 6 Oregon Ducks made a sneak diss towards Mike Gundy following their dominant 69-3 victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday evening.
Gundy made comments on Monday about the Ducks' budget, Nike co-founder Phil Knight and disparities between the finances between his team and Lanning's team.
“They spend a lot of money,” Gundy said on radio, per Oregon Live. “But they’re a good team. There’s no doubt about it. Our players, we talked about it today before practice, they’re excited about going out there and playing… I think Oregon spent close to $40 (million) last year alone. That was just one year. Now, I might be off a few million.”
Oregon took this personally, to say the least. They scored 20 or more points throughout each of the first three quarters, torching Oklahoma State's defense over the course of the contest.
After overwhelming them in embarrassing fashion, Oregon made a victory post on social media, making a direct reference to Gundy's comments about them.
“Invested in winning. #GoDucks,” the post read.
