“I’m filled with great excitement. I’m really proud of our guys, but I’m also excited to you know, figure out what we can go attack and improve,” said head coach Dan Lanning after winning the game. On what seemed impossible at first, Oregon created history after defeating Ohio State 32-31. With that, Oregon’s capabilities to beat an elite team are proven in front of the college football world. Coming out such a big treat, head coach Dan Lanning is on cloud nine. In his post-game appearance, he tried persuading top prospects to flip their commitment to Oregon.

One of the short clips from his post-game video is shared by Fox College Football from their ‘X’ handle. “If you see any good players, tell them to come here.” planning said in the clip referring to flip the 5-star OSU commit Na’eem Offord. Fox Studio continued their post by writing, “@Oregonfootball head Coach Dan Lanning is in full recruiting mode after the win vs Ohio State.” They wrote the caption and added a laughing emoji.

Following a victory against Ohio State, Dan Lanning is striking while the iron is hot. To that it will be good news for Lanning because around 100 top prospects came to watch the game live.

On3 recruit Josh Newberg recently shared in the latest episode of On3 Recruits, “The recruits come to a game like this, and they imagine themselves in this situation, but Na’eem Offord, he’s committed Ohio State. I wonder which the sideline he’s imagining himself on after a game like this, obviously, Morgan has a foot in the door. I wouldn’t say that he was on whipwatch heading into this, but an experience like this, it makes a difference.” Newberg highlighted the fact that there are chances to afford to flip his commitment to Dane Lanning’s team after watching today’s game against Ohio State.

If that happens, not only did Ohio State lose a game against Oregon but also lost its top recruit because of this game. Let’s learn what was happening in the week seven clash between Oregon and Ohio State.
