"Make no mistake, Dante Moore is the Ducks' starting quarterback in 2026, and he could very well be in for a Heisman Trophy-caliber season. However, Oregon fans got a glimpse of the future on Saturday with Dylan Raiola, and it's easy to see why they walked away with supreme confidence.

Raiola completed 7-of-13 passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, which included the 79-yard bomb to Evan Stewart in the first quarter. It wasn't hard to see how close Raiola was to stealing the MVP award, though. Throughout the game, there were 2-3 touchdowns left on the board, simply because of some overthrows down the field. If the accuracy can improve on the long balls, the sky is the limit for No. 8. We know that he has the arm talent, and we've seen from his two years starting at Nebraska that he has what it takes to be a high-level QB at times."

That 79 yard “bomb” traveled 25 yards from the LOS.

So other than the TD his stats were 6-12 for 61 yds . WOW that should have some NFL GMs thinking.

Oregon WR is faster than what we’ve got.
Dylan’s accuracy on his deep throws are what’s going to make or break him in the long run

Spring games don’t mean shite. Never ceases to amaze me how some folks still read into a player’s performance in a spring game meanings that just aren’t there.
We have had 2 full seasons to see what Raiola is really like in real games against real teams. And it is a sad picture.

People complain about Nebraska media fluff stories. That Oregon story raving about Raiola’s 50 somethin % performance is comical. IF he does that in practice, he’ll never play for them. My expectation is that he transfers again next year.

Going to be fascinating how Lanning manages the snaps between Moore and Riaola cuz IMO no way DR redshirts. Besides mop up duty in the first three games when else is DR going to have meaningful playing time? On the road vs USC, don’t see it. Is the 4 game participation rule still in effect to save a redshirt year? Moore announcing his return to Oregon 2 days after Riaola committing to Oregon had to catch Lanning off guard.

The only way Raiola plays is mop up or injuries to Moore.

If DR is the answer to the next QB up question, I could certainly see him redshirting. His NIL as the starting QB at Oregon would be pretty sweet.

My brother was at the game and said other than the TD throw, not much to write home about.

I agree spring game performances aren’t worth the attention they receive. But they are the only datapoint for about 7 months. And in the case of DR at Oregon, it matched my expectations. DR is going to be roughly the same QB, but Oregon WRs will break more of his dink and dunk passes for bigger gains. As someone else stated, it all comes down to his ability or inability to hit on the deep passes occasionally. If he doesn’t improve on that from his time here, Oregon fans will sour on him.

i have seen some 5* misses down here, not many because so seldom does one come to k-state, but is raiola the biggest miss in N's history?

by the way, i watched a fascinating story on youtube last night about N's big mistake back in the day, like 1915, saying "no" to a rose bowl game with washington state. and then your hugely successful coach stiehm (35-2) left for indiana over pay. great story. never heard it before. the ole pony-tailed historian said it set N back years and was material to the southeast become a football power.

We talkin about practice? Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. Practice! Not the game. Practice man. I know it's import I do. I do. But we talkin bout practice man. We talkin about practice. We talkin about practice right now. It's funny to me to. But we talkin about practice. We ain't even talkin about the game when it matters.

Why not hope for us to beat Oregon 66-0 and to make the playoffs instead?
Our chances at a playoff run was last year. Unless we get 2003 level of Bo Pelini improvement on this defense, and this new OL coach literally becomes the reincarnation of Milt Tenopir.

Still not as stupid as Haarberg is a great QB. King Wrong 🤴
because you fabricated this in your affected, rotting, diabetes addled brain, you won't find a quote of me saying it.

nope, I merely said he was the best option we had in 2023. I also think our record would be similar had we kept starting him these past 2 years over the "Tommie Frazier/Eric Crouch Heisman type QB who can change a program".

LMAO. stay clueless, dickbreath
