Overview
- Dante Moore will not play Saturday at Autzen because he remains in concussion protocol after the late hit that left him stretchered off on Sept. 26.
- Oregon confirmed Dylan Raiola as the starter following his relief performance versus USC and his season line of 30-for-36 for 413 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions.
- Coach Dan Lanning said Moore returned to limited practice but has not cleared the stepwise medical benchmarks required for game clearance.
- The Ducks will be without or limited by several other starters, including injured wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan and offensive lineman Trent Ferguson, which will test Oregon’s depth against UCLA’s top rushing attack led by Wayne Knight.
- Oddsmakers favor Oregon by about 11.5 points and media previews say the outcome could shape College Football Playoff positioning while keeping focus on concussion protocols and player safety.
