After the decision was made by coach Dan Lanning of the now-unranked Oregon Ducks (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) to bench junior quarterback Dylan Raiola for senior walk-on Brock Thomas at the start of the fourth quarter on Oct. 10, it was made abundantly clear that the Ducks miss redshirt senior quarterback Dante Moore.
After the 17-15 loss to the now No. 12 UCLA Bruins (5-0, 3-0 Big Ten) inside Autzen Stadium and Moore looking to move off of concussion protocol, no more mistakes can be made if a third straight College Football Playoff appearance is to be made.
The fall to UCLA was only the second home loss during the Lanning era dating back to 2022. Coach Matt Rhule and the Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten), one of the top remaining Big Ten Conference programs remaining on Oregon’s schedule, stand in the way on the night of Oct. 17.
The Cornhuskers are also coming off a rough come-from-behind loss at home to the newly ranked No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) in Lincoln, Nebraska, 20-17.
