Moore sidelined for third straight contest
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore will miss his third straight game after a concussion sustained on Sept. 26 at USC. The team has not committed to a starter for the matchup at Illinois. Dylan Raiola entered during the USC game before Brock Thomas took over in the loss to UCLA. Raiola then replaced Thomas in the fourth quarter against Nebraska and threw the game-winning touchdown.
Stewart out again amid injury and legal matters
Wide receiver Evan Stewart is unavailable for the Illinois game due to an undisclosed injury after missing last week's contest. He was arrested early Sunday morning on a driving under the influence charge. Tight end Jamari Johnson received a speeding citation in the same area at 3:51 a.m. Sunday, carrying a $440 fine. Johnson has recorded 224 yards on 17 catches and two touchdowns this season after posting 32 receptions for 510 yards and three touchdowns last year.
Stewart's production stands out this year
In five games, Stewart leads the team with 27 receptions for 352 yards and four touchdowns.
