Oregon's Dan Lanning Has High Praise for Dylan Raiola's Preparation

Oregon head coach Dan Lanning has publicly commended backup quarterback Dylan Raiola for his disciplined preparation ahead of the Ducks’ high-stakes matchup against undefeated UCLA this weekend. Raiola, who will start in place of injured starter Dante Moore, has been throwing with the team as Moore continues his recovery from a concussion suffered in Oregon’s Week 4 win over USC.

Moore, the Ducks’ primary signal-caller, returned to limited practice on Monday—his first since the injury—and was seen throwing the football, marking a positive step in his rehabilitation. The UCLA game, scheduled for Saturday, adds urgency to Moore’s recovery, as the Bruins represent a formidable opponent for Oregon’s offense.

Meanwhile, speculation remains about whether Moore will be cleared to play, though Lanning has not ruled out the possibility. Raiola’s readiness and Moore’s progress have become critical storylines as Oregon seeks to maintain its momentum in the Pac-12 race.
