Backup quarterback Dylan Raiola led Oregon to a 41-27 road win over USC after starter Dante Moore was injured and taken to a hospital. Raiola completed 19 of 25 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover, delivering in his first significant action for the Ducks after transferring from Nebraska. Coach Dan Lanning said Raiola had prepared for the opportunity and was ready when his number was called. Moore’s status remains uncertain, and Raiola could take over as Oregon’s starter if Moore misses time.
Key Points
1
Raiola’s first throw after entering the game was a 3-yard touchdown pass to Evan Stewart, coming just two plays after Moore’s injury.
2
Moore was injured on a hit by USC linebacker Desman Stephens II; Oregon players were angry and believed the tackle was intentional, while coach Dan Lanning tried to keep the team composed.
3
The rivalry remained heated after the final whistle: a scuffle broke out between Oregon and USC players in the tunnel.
4
Oregon’s next game is against UCLA on Oct. 10, following a bye week; Moore’s availability for that matchup remains an open question.
