Raiola Guides Oregon Past USC After Moore's Concussion; Ducks Rise in Polls

Backup quarterback Dylan Raiola led the No. 20 Oregon Ducks to a significant 41-27 road victory over No. 12 USC, stepping in after starting quarterback Dante Moore sustained a concussion on a late hit. The incident occurred in the second quarter when USC linebacker Desman Stephens II was ejected for a hit on Moore as he slid, leading to Moore being taken to a Los Angeles hospital.

Raiola, who had a previous injury at the Coliseum, delivered a strong performance, helping the Ducks secure the crucial Big Ten win. The team rallied despite the emotional impact of Moore's injury. Following the victory, the Oregon Ducks saw their ranking improve in the US LBM Coaches Poll.
