Moore Sidelined Once More
Oregon will be without its quarterback for the second consecutive week when it takes the field against Nebraska. The injury report confirms the absence, following a concussion that occurred earlier in the season. The head coach noted that the player has returned to throwing at practice, but no further timeline was provided for a return to game action.
Raiola Steps Into Spotlight With Mixed Results
He also threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in his first relief appearance. In the fourth quarter of the most recent contest, Brock Thomas came in and threw for 156 yards along with a touchdown.
Competition Includes Familiar Face
The race for the starting job now involves Raiola, Thomas and freshman Akili Smith Jr. Raiola spent his first two college seasons with Nebraska, where he threw for 3,819 yards and 31 touchdowns. His record as a starter stands at 13-10. The upcoming matchup carries added personal significance for the quarterback given his prior time in Lincoln.
