Dan Lanning and the 10th-ranked Oregon Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) tore apart the 19th-ranked Colorado Buffaloes (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) in front of a roaring home crowd on Saturday.

The Ducks spent a week of hearing about Colorado and Deion Sanders and Heisman hopeful quarterback Shedeur Sanders and 3-0 and “it’s personal” and they decided to take things personally themselves.

Lanning’s pregame speech had Oregon ready to run through Colorado. Then Oregon went out and played what Lanning felt was a complete game in all three phases in a 42-6 victory.

“We were prepared for a battle,” Lanning said after. “It didn’t end up being a battle.”

Colorado had a 14-play, 93-yard touchdown drive on what was for all intents and purposes its final possession of the game.

Prior to that, the Buffs gained a total of 106 yards on 44 plays. They averaged 2.4 a play. They didn’t turn the football over, but that was about the only positive from the offensive day.

And on the other side, Oregon scored touchdowns on six of its first seven drives. The Ducks led 35-0 at halftime. At that point, they had more points on the scoreboard than Colorado had yards of offense in the game.

“I get a little passionate at times. I get a little excited about what I want to accomplish for our team and I just want to say I need to humble myself a little bit. It’s one game. And I’m not satisfied,” Lanning said. “That’s what I just told our players. We’re about to go play great quarterbacks, we’re about to go play great teams moving forward and it’s about how good we can become. It’s not really about who we play. It’s about Oregon vs. Oregon every week.”

Lanning’s messaging has worked through four weeks. But he doesn’t think that has anything to do with the wins.

“There is no speech that wins games,” Lanning said. “Players win games. Our players went out there and won the game.”
