After Tuesday’s practice, Oregon senior linebacker Boseko Lokombo reflected on Thursday’s loss to Stanford and talked about his team’s preparation for Utah this coming Saturday.

The main reasons why Stanford won

“I think, overall, they won the line of scrimmage on both defense and offense,” Lokombo said. “I think they outmatched us. They just had a better game than us. That specific day, they were the better team.”

Would the Ducks win if they and Stanford both had their best days?

“Yeah, I think we just started off slow,” Lokombo said. “We just couldn’t execute. They had good control of the time and they had a good game plan.”

Utah’s strengths on offense

“I don’t really know on offense,” Lokombo said. “Utah is a completely different team and we’re just preparing for them differently than we did against Stanford.”

Preparation for Utah game

“We’re prepared for everything,” Lokombo said. “We don’t want Stanford to beat us twice. We’ve flushed it out and we’re ready for Utah.”

Extra motivation after the loss?

“I don’t know about extra motivation,” Lokombo said. “We’re just hungry. We just want to finish strong.”
