Entering his fifth season at Oregon, Dan Lanning turns 40 in April. He's 48-8 in the first four, 6-6 against Top Ten teams, 0-2 against Curt Cignetti, 0-3 against Kalen Deboer, 0-1 against Kirby Smart, 1-1 against Ryan Day.
That makes him 47-1 against everyone else, including 2-0 against Kyle Whittingham, the new coach at Michigan.
There's a segment of sports fans who delight in negativism and derision. This is not their website. The trolls will blather the usual arguments about how the Ducks choke in big games, that Lanning is the James Franklin of the West, or Phil Knight has failed in a 30-year quest to buy a title.
