Watch: Oregon coach Dan Lanning calls out Colorado in viral pre-game speech

Oregon coach Dan Lanning brought the cameras into the locker room before the Colorado game

Most of the focus coming into Saturday's game seemed to be around Colorado and whether or not Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes could keep it up after their hot start. But Oregon coach Dan Lanning wanted to remind everyone there would be another team on the field.

Lanning gave the Ducks team an impassioned speech prior to kickoff that was captured by ESPN cameras, in which he noted the difference between his team and theirs, and firing a few shots pointed in Colorado's direction.

Lanning accentuated what he regarded as the main difference between his team and Colorado's.

"Rooted in substance, not flash," he said. "Today we talk with our pads… The Cinderella story is over. They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins. There's a difference.”

Lanning added: "This game ain't gonna be played in Hollywood. It's played on the grass."

Oregon made a statement in the first half against Colorado, taking a 35-0 lead and holding the Buffaloes to just 23 total yards.
