Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning made his Jungle debut Friday morning on 750 The Game when he joined The Jim Rome Show (Weekdays 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. on The GAME).

Rome asked Lanning about managing the hype ahead of the top-ten matchup with the Bruins, UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the performance of Bo Nix this season, keeping the team focused, and more.

No. 10 Oregon is a 6.5-point favorite hosting Chip Kelly and No. 9 UCLA on Saturday, a 12:30 p.m. kickoff on FOX.
