Overview
- Dante Moore, who suffered a concussion on Sept. 26 after a late hit at USC, remains in concussion protocol and is listed out for Saturday's game at Autzen Stadium.
- Oregon confirmed Dylan Raiola will start against No. 21 UCLA and he brings an efficient small-sample resume this season of 30 completions on 36 throws for 413 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions.
- Raiola is making his first start for the Ducks after transferring from Nebraska, and coaches say his strong relief showing at USC earned the job.
- Oregon's injury report includes other key absences such as receiver Jeremiah McClellan, who has a broken foot, and safety Aaron Flowers, whose status is uncertain, both of which affect the Ducks' depth and game plan.
- The change at quarterback alters betting and postseason math — Oregon is favored by roughly 11.5 points — and the episode has renewed attention on late-hit discipline and the stepwise concussion return-to-play process that governs Moore's recovery.
