Oregon's offense stalls as Dylan Raiola is benched in loss to UCLA
Oregon fell to UCLA 17-15 as backup Dylan Raiola struggled and was benched during the Ducks' offensive collapse.
In a 17-15 loss to UCLA, Oregon's offense struggled significantly in their first game without star quarterback Dante Moore. With Moore recovering from a concussion, Dylan Raiola was benched after three quarters for struggling with just three more completions than turnovers. Raiola finished the game 6-of-19 passing for 43 yards, two interceptions and one fumble.
The Ducks' offense had 89 yards on 37 plays and were 0 for 8 on third downs at his departure. Coach Dan Lanning acknowledged that Raiola needed to improve and regain his confidence after the game. The inexperienced third-string quarterback, Brock Thomas, rallied the Ducks in the fourth quarter with 183 yards and nine points, but it was not enough to secure a victory.
Lanning emphasized the importance of Raiola's continued development, stating that the team would support him.
