Overview
- Dante Moore suffered a concussion on Sept. 26 after a late hit and was stretchered off the field, and he remains in the league’s concussion-return process so he is listed as out for Saturday.
- Oregon confirmed on Thursday that Dylan Raiola will start against No. 21 UCLA after he relieved Moore vs. USC and threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in that game.
- Raiola has completed 30 of 36 passes for 413 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in limited action this season and is making his first start for the Ducks.
- The league availability report and team staff say Moore has returned to limited practice but must finish symptom‑limited steps and full-contact benchmarks before receiving clearance to play.
- Coaches on both sides stressed preparing for either quarterback, betting markets still favor Oregon by double digits, and Raiola’s start will shape Oregon’s immediate game plan and season outlook.
