Oregon Puts Dan Lanning on Hot Seat After 17-10 Illinois Loss

Summary
Illinois beat Oregon 17-10 after the Ducks scored on their opening drive, then managed only three more points over the final 55 minutes.
10.5-point favorite Oregon stalled with two punts, a fumble and a missed field goal on its next four drives, gained just 22 yards on 16 plays in one stretch, and later missed more long field goals.
That latest defeat deepened a collapse that already included a 17-15 loss to UCLA with seven turnovers and left Oregon without a single AP Poll vote.
Dan Lanning still has credit from multiple playoff appearances and two postseason wins last year, but a brutal closing stretch against ranked Northwestern, Ohio State, Michigan and Washington could push the Ducks to five or even six losses.
