Oregon steps closer to its goals

The Oregon football squad will have a chance to compete for the Big 10 title and further pursue its College Football Playoff aspirations. Dan Lanning's leadership continues to impress, and let Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt tell the story: the Oregon head coach is one of the main reasons the team is doing so well.

“Dan Lanning has got this team rolling. No team is playing better right now than Oregon. They have gotten better every single week. Every time I turn on the film and I watch an Oregon game, I'm like, well, that's more cohesive. That's better. Dillon Gabriel looks better. They look fast.

“The only thing that has slowed them down at times is injury. Jordan Burch has missed some time on the defensive side. You've got Tez Johnson with that injury. Although, hopefully, he returns. There's a reason why this time is number one in the country, and they just march along,” Klatt stated.

It will be interesting to see the other Big 10 football powerhouse Oregon plays against in the title game in Dec. 7.
