Immediately after Oregon’s loss to Washington on Saturday, head coach Dan Lanning said the blame for the result rested squarely on his shoulders. On Monday, he doubled down.

Lanning was asked what lessons he’ll take from the 37-34 loss to the Huskies and said there are moments that stick in his mind where he thinks he got “a little selfish” and, if he could, would go back and do some things differently.

“Medicine doesn’t always taste good,” Lanning said. “There were a lot of coaches drinking medicine yesterday on Sunday in that office. It doesn’t always taste good, but you better be able to accept it and attack it. There’s a lot of things that, me personally as a coach, I can go do better. There’s a lot of things that our coaching staff can do better and a lot of things that our players can do better. And I think when you’re in an environment where it’s about growth, we’ve actually experienced something similar before where it didn’t go the way we wanted it to go and our guys attacked it really well and our coaches attacked it really well.”

In the aftermath of a 49-3 loss to Georgia in Week 1, Oregon ripped off eight straight wins and climbed as high as No. 6 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

The loss to Washington on Saturday effectively ended dreams of a CFP berth. And there were moments throughout that certainly left many scratching their heads.

Oregon corner Christian Gonzalez appeared to intercept a pass, but had it ripped away from him on the ground. Possession was awarded to Washington. Oregon didn’t call a timeout to challenge the ruling.

The Ducks attempted an onside kick in similar fashion to the UCLA game, only this time it didn’t work.

They elected to attempt to convert a fourth-and-1 at their own 34 with less than two minutes on the clock, and kept quarterback Bo Nix on the sideline despite what looked to be pleas from Nix to enter the game.

“There are probably 10 plays that I would have played a lot different,” Lanning said.

But you can’t replay a loss. The message from Lanning to everyone else in the program has been to not let it beat them a second time.

“The only thing I know to do when something doesn’t go right is to go to work,” he said. “And that’s kind of always worked for me.”

Oregon has No. 10 Utah next (7:30 p.m. PT, ESPN). The Ducks are still in a position where they control their fate in the race to the Pac-12 title game. They can’t lose.

“I’m a bad loser, man,” Lanning said. “I don’t ever handle it very well and that’s something I can continue to grow at, but that hasn’t changed since third grade P.E. class. Like I don’t like losing and I don’t like losing if I’m playing checkers against Titan, my 9-year-old right now. I want to win at everything that I do.

“… But I know this: we didn’t let Georgia beat us twice. I’m not gonna let Washington beat us twice. We played them once. I’m not gonna let that happen. My focus is we gotta go play a really dang good Utah team and probably one of the most complete teams that we’ve played this season. And you’re not going to do that by crying over spilled milk.”
