The word ‘tough’ was the word mostly heard Monday evening when Oregon head coach met the media to discuss the Ducks upcoming road matchup with No. 13 Utah.
Yes, the Utes are dinged up on both sides of the ball, but still Kyle Whittingham has his team near the top of the Pac-12 Conference with a single loss and 6-1 overall.
The Utes return home to Salt Lake City after a last-second road win over USC and will look to take down another Top 25 ranked opponent in No. 8 Oregon.
During his Monday presser Lanning talked about his respect for the Utes and the impressive coaching job Whittingham is doing with such an injury-ridden roster.
