Oregon Ducks Dan Lanning Discusses short turn around games and how they deal with that

Transcript

00:00So we did that with a couple games last year and again we'll probably follow that

00:07same model for one game this next season.

00:10Not necessarily do that for nine games, but for earlier conditions it'd be exciting.

00:15Sometimes they're going to do that.

00:16Like on a Thursday to Northwestern?

00:19Yeah, like last year we went on a Thursday for the Michigan game.

00:21Yeah, yeah.

00:22Did you find that when you guys, like when you went to Wisconsin,

00:26when you went to Purdue last year, did you see any kind of differences like in the moment

00:31as you were watching the game?

00:32Like those weren't your most efficient two games last year?

00:37Yeah, I think the Wisconsin game at least at that point,

00:40I think we played eight straight conference games at that point.

00:44They had a great environment, great crowd.

00:46That certainly could be a piece of it traveling, but Purdue that was a short week

00:52to leave after the Ohio State game play on Friday.

00:55So, you know, we will have similar situations this year.

00:58We play Iowa, right, at Iowa on a Saturday and then we play Minnesota on a Friday

01:02following week, right, and Minnesota has to buy a week before they play us.

01:06So, I mean, that's unique.

01:07But if you're aware of it, communicate it, don't make the moment bigger in the moment,

01:10go play the game, not the occasion, you'll be fine.

01:12Coach, Rose Bowl didn't go the way you wanted it to last year.

01:15You've had great perspective from that, listen to everything you've said.

01:18What is a lesson or two?

01:25One month ago, this is unique.
