Dan Lanning discusses Ducks' upcoming game against Illinois and player issues

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning spoke to the media ahead of Saturday's game against the Illinois Fighting Illini in Champaign. Lanning addressed the ongoing quarterback competition between Dylan Raiola and Brock Thomas after a narrow victory over Nebraska. He acknowledged the challenge Illinois presents, particularly with their unique defensive structure, while noting that the Illini will start a backup quarterback due to an injury. Lanning also commented on the situation of wide receiver Evan Stewart, who was arrested on a DUII charge over the weekend and missed the previous game. The Ducks are preparing for their first away game in nearly a month.
