KEY POINTS

  • Oregon defeated Nebraska 17-14 on a 4-yard touchdown pass with 28 seconds left.
  • Dylan Raiola entered in the fourth quarter and completed 11 of 18 passes for 59 yards.
  • Jamari Johnson caught the game-winning touchdown pass.
  • Nebraska lost its second straight game after blowing a fourth-quarter lead.
  • Oregon improved to 4-2 and kept its College Football Playoff hopes alive.

Dylan Raiola entered the game in the fourth quarter and threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jamari Johnson with 28 seconds left, giving Oregon a 17-14 victory over Nebraska. The win improved Oregon to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in Big Ten play.

Raiola completed 11 of 18 passes for 59 yards in the final period. His first drive ended with a 37-yard field goal by Gage Hurych. A previous 4-yard touchdown pass to Dakorien Moore with 33 seconds remaining was overturned upon review.

“Everyone was dialed in. We just kept preparing until the end and JJ had a cute little toe-drag touchdown to win the game.”

— Dylan Raiola

Nebraska quarterback Anthony Colandrea finished 18 of 33 for 164 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 33 yards and another score. Nebraska fell to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in conference play.

Oregon coach Dan Lanning said Raiola remained completely engaged after being benched the previous week against UCLA. Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said his team came up short for the second straight week after squandering a fourth-quarter lead.

Oregon's starting quarterback Dante Moore remained unavailable due to a concussion sustained in a September 26 victory over USC. Third-string quarterback Brock Thomas started against Nebraska but was largely ineffective before Raiola took over.
