After disappointing results for both teams last weekend, with each side losing in Big Ten play, the Oregon Ducks and Nebraska Cornhuskers meet under the lights of Autzen Stadium. Both teams entered last weekend with College Football Playoff hopes, but after falling to UCLA and Indiana, respectively, Oregon at 3-2 (1-1) and Nebraska at 5-1 (2-1) each need a win.
Oregon enters this matchup as a wounded team with Dante Moore remaining sidelined, wide receiver Evan Stewart listed as doubtful, wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan recovering from a broken foot, and safety Aaron Flowers ruled out for the season this week. Given all the injuries the Ducks have dealt with, Dan Lanning and his staff have a ton of roster shuffling to deal with.
This game could've been a massive storyline if Dylan Raiola was entering the week as Oregon's starting quarterback. After coming off the bench to lead Oregon to victory over USC, Raiola was abysmal against UCLA, getting benched, which created a quarterback battle for the Ducks this week.
Brock Thomas appears to be the Ducks' starting quarterback for this weekend's game, and a matchup with Anthony Colandrea is far less flashy on paper. Both quarterbacks have great supporting casts around them, and this game could end up coming down to the wire.
