Injury Report
Oregon's No. 13-ranked squad will be without its starting quarterback for the game against No. 21 UCLA. Dante Moore has been ruled out after sustaining a concussion earlier this season. The team has chosen to proceed cautiously with his recovery rather than rushing him back into action.
Raiola's Opportunity
Dylan Raiola will make his first start at quarterback for Oregon. The former Nebraska passer threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in relief during a win over USC. Across three seasons Raiola has accumulated 5,232 passing yards along with 36 touchdowns and 17 interceptions while posting a 13-9 record as a starter.
Team Outlook
Moore entered the season with 926 passing yards and nine touchdowns through four games. The Ducks have described the transition to Raiola as business as usual and noted his strong practice performances. The program intends to prioritize Moore's long-term health while relying on the experienced backup to keep the offense on track.
