Three Most Important Oregon Ducks Against Nebraska Cornhuskers

The Oregon Ducks face a critical test this weekend as they look to bounce back from a tough 17-15 loss to UCLA and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff for a third straight season. With a 3-2 record and currently unranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2022, Oregon must win out to stay in contention.

The Ducks will need to overcome Nebraska’s talented roster, led by quarterback Anthony Colandrea, in a matchup that carries added weight for Oregon’s starting quarterback, Dylan Raiola. Raiola, who struggled in the UCLA game with just 43 passing yards and two interceptions, will likely start again despite the setback, as Oregon’s second-string quarterback Dante Moore sits out with a concussion for the second game in a row.

Raiola’s performance—and his ability to rally the Ducks’ shaky offensive line—will be pivotal in determining whether Oregon can turn the season around at Autzen Stadium, where they hold a seven-point favorite advantage according to DraftKings Sportsbook odds.
