INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 Oregon<\/a><\/strong> will be the No. 1 team in the country on in the first 12-Team College Football rankings on Sunday after winning its first Big Ten conference crown by beating Penn State 45-37 on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Ducks are 13-0 and the only undefeated team left in college football.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what to say except for how proud I am of these guys,\u201d Lanning said. \u201cWe\u2019ve talked about moments this year where guys had to put each other on their backs. I thought the offense tonight did an unbelievable job. I thought the defense made a critical stop when it mattered most. But I\u2019ll say this, the belief in our team throughout the game, it never wavered. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a bunch of guys in there that love each other and worked their tails off tonight to come out on the other side of victory. Kudos to them. That offense is really hard to stop. They do an unbelievable job over there. It was a battle, a battle to the very end. I\u2019m really proud of our players and proud of their resiliency. Proud of this dude, third-and-1 when it mattered most, making a play, fourth-and-2, making a huge play for our team. And proud of the guys on the stage with me. And I know they\u2019d be the first to tell you they couldn\u2019t do it without their teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI will say that we wanted to make sure we always knew where 44 [Tyler Warren] was at. And certainly we always wanted to know where 11 [Abdul Carter] was at. Credit to our offensive line. Credit to Coach Stein and the job he did there, and credit to our guys on defense, knowing where he was at. But there\u2019s a lot of room for improvement for us. That\u2019s what I\u2019m really excited about, is the opportunity to attack that growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

What did Penn State and Oregon players have to say after the game?<\/h2>\n

We have a smattering of quotes<\/a> from each said below: <\/p>\n

\u201cSo the primary was Trey, trying to get the ball down the field. The strong safety, I saw him hold and not get any depth and tried to give Trey a chance. I\u2019ve got to do a better job of him or nobody. I\u2019ve just got to see the leverage with the DB and\u00a0give him more of a back shoulder, around the body where it\u2019s going to be him or nobody and move on in the progression. But that\u2019s what I saw in that play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Penn State QB Drew Allar<\/a> on<\/a> his interception on the Lions\u2019 final drive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were prepared to face the best. And they\u2019re a great offense. Credit to our offense for sticking it out and scoring a lot of points in that game. But our preparation was unmatched.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a good team, too. That\u2019s what people forget. So we try to do all our assignments. Obviously there\u2019s some errors on tape we\u2019ve got to fix up and be ready for a couple weeks from now. But at the end of the day they\u2019re a great team. Credit to them. We came out victorious, so credit to our offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2013Oregon LB Bryce Boettcher<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think you can definitely take those losses more as a learning opportunity. And that\u2019s the biggest thing about these Playoffs, is that even if you lose that game, we still got an opportunity to go out there and win that championship. So I think just having an opportunity to look back, see what we got to improve on, see we did well, and want to keep going on. That is super invaluable. So, just keeping that in mind as we move on.\u201d<\/p>\n
