Oregon head coach Dan Lanning attributes the Ducks' poor start to a "lack of leadership."
"And that starts with me," he told reporters Monday, according to ESPN's Paolo Uggetti.
Oregon began the season with national championship aspirations and a No. 2 ranking but has looked like anything but a contender thus far.
The Ducks fell to No. 6 after squeaking past Boise State 34-27 in their season opener. Then they lost 39-31 to unranked Oklahoma State on Saturday.
The Cowboys tallied 273 more yards of offense while Oregon's running game was limited to 3 yards per carry and 90 total rushing yards. Oklahoma State broke its streak of 21 consecutive losses to FBS teams.
The Ducks also committed seven penalties for 66 yards and went 0-for-3 on fourth-down conversions, including a costly decision to go for it on their own 33-yard line.
Oregon's loss dropped them to No. 21 in the most recent AP Poll, but Lanning said he still believes in his squad and coaching staff.
"Stop looking into the future. Everybody wants to make a prediction before the season starts. You know, it doesn't matter until you play the games," Lanning said. "We have the capability to be good. We have good enough players. We have good enough coaches. I haven't coached them well enough.
"I haven't done a good enough job, so I know I can do better. So that's where it starts. But it doesn't matter unless we focus on today. Let's stop worrying about tomorrow. Let's stop worrying about the end of the season. Let's worry about today."
The Ducks will look to get back on track Friday when they host Portland State at Autzen Stadium.
