Oregon quarterback out against Nebraska on Saturday
The Big Ten injury report confirmed that a key player will miss Nebraska's matchup against the Oregon Ducks this Saturday.
Nebraska will face Oregon in a Big Ten matchup this Saturday, but key player Dante Moore will be absent. Moore, the Ducks' quarterback, will miss the game due to injury. Nebraska fans had anticipated former Husker quarterback Dylan Raiola to take the starting position if Moore was held out. However, Raiola had a shaky performance against UCLA last weekend and was substituted in the later stages by Brock Thomas.
The Ducks' coach, Dan Lanning, has made it clear that Moore's absence would open the starting Quarterback position for competition. Raiola, Thomas, and Akili Smith Jr. have all been participating in first-team practices this week. Raiola previously played for Nebraska in the 2024 and 2025 seasons, and in his Nebraska career, he completed 69.1% of his passes, throwing for 4,819 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions.
Raiola's 2025 season was cut short due to an injury sustained against USC. Despite this setback, Nebraska prepares to return to action against Oregon on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 10 p.m. CT on Fox.
