Raiola’s 4-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds left gives Oregon a 17-14 win over Nebraska

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — In a thrilling finish to a close contest, Dylan Raiola connected with Jamari Johnson on a 4-yard touchdown pass with just 28 seconds remaining, securing a 17-14 win for Oregon over Nebraska. Raiola, a former Husker, entered the game in the fourth quarter with Nebraska leading 14-6. His initial drive concluded with a Gage Hurych 37-yard field goal.

An overturned touchdown attempt to Dakorien Moore followed, before Raiola found Johnson in the end zone, sealing the victory with a successful 2-point conversion. Anthony Colandrea contributed 164 passing yards and a touchdown, along with 33 yards on the ground for the Cornhuskers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten). The Ducks' Brock Turner started the game but struggled, finishing 9 of 20 for 54 yards and an interception.

Before the game, Oregon's Dante Moore was sidelined due to a concussion sustained in a previous match. The score remained zero until the second quarter when Colandrea connected with Kwazi Gilmer for a touchdown, leading 6-0. Both teams punted 13 times each and committed one turnover in the first half. With 1:06 left in the third quarter, Colandrea scored another touchdown to extend Oregon's lead to 14-6. Despite a sluggish second half, Raiola's late game heroics proved decisive for Oregon.
