"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."
