Raiola delivers late touchdown as Oregon edges Nebraska 17–14
A fourth-quarter switch brought a comeback at Autzen Stadium.
Oregon trailed Nebraska 14–9 with just over five minutes left Saturday night. Backup quarterback Dylan Raiola, facing his former school, led the decisive drive and connected with Jamari Johnson for a four-yard touchdown with 28 seconds remaining. The Ducks won 17–14.
The comeback followed a difficult stretch for Oregon, including a loss to UCLA. Raiola took over at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the final drive survived multiple fourth-down plays. The night ended with relief rather than a comfortable margin.
