Oregon quarterback Dylan Raiola threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Ducks to a comeback against No. 20 Northwestern after being forced into the starting lineup in place of Dante Moore.

Dylan Raiola and Oregon Win Against Northwestern
The transition to Eugene has tested Dylan Raiola after he was benched following a struggle in a ranked Big Ten showdown that cost the Ducks a home loss, losing his starting spot to third-string quarterback Brock Thomas. With Dante Moore still on the injury report with no official return date, the Ducks have struggled to find consistency at quarterback over the last three weeks, and Thomas and the Oregon offense were scoreless in the first half.
He finished the game completing 11-of-19 passes for 59 yards and a touchdown.
I love Nebraska, that’s my home. My first two years there, it was home. I love the fans, I love everybody there, but it was about Oregon tonight.

The Trojans generated virtually nothing against the Wisconsin defense, averaging only 5.4 yards per pass attempt and finishing the day with negative 17 yards rushing on 25 attempts due heavily to sacks. Even eliminating sack yardage, USC running backs managed just 40 yards on 20 carries, averaging only two yards per rush with a longest offensive play of only 15 yards against a Wisconsin team that had 58 yards passing.
