You never want to get on the bad side of Dan Lanning. The Oregon Ducks head coach has passion that's virtually impossible to match at the college football level. Whenever you land a punch on Lanning, go ahead and assume he's going to be ready for some revenge.

Ask the Washington Huskies about that. Last season, the Dawgs took down Oregon in Montlake and also in the Pac-12 title game. They then marched all the way to the National Championship Game against Michigan, a game they lost (and Oregon fans loved seeing it!).

With the Huskies making their way to Eugene last week, Lanning wanted to get back at the Huskies and he had his team fired up to get the job done. With Oregon up 28-14 at halftime, Lanning knew more work was needed. So, to inspire his players, he smashed a UW helmet in front of everyone? Yup, that's exactly what he did:

Dan Lanning smashing a Washington helmet was next-level trolling

If that doesn't get you fired up for the second half, what will? Oregon players were indeed jacked up after seeing Lanning go to work on that Huskies helmet. As you might have been able to guess, UW fans are losing it on social media, but Lanning and the Ducks don't care about that.

In the end, Oregon was able to post a dominant 49-21 victory over Jedd Fisch and Co. Following that victory, the Ducks and Lanning are a perfect 12-0 on the year and next up is the Big Ten title game against Penn State, which will be a thriller.

Oregon remains the No. 1 team in the country per the CFP rankings, which is no surprise at all. Lanning has his players operating at an unreal level and the dream of a natty is alive and well. Meanwhile for the Huskies, the team finished 6-6 this campaign, which only makes things even sweeter for Ducks supporters everywhere.
