Oregon won't have Dante Moore for Saturday's matchup against UCLA after ruling the quarterback out Wednesday.

Dylan Raiola will get his first start as the Ducks' quarterback due to Moore's absence.

Moore was carted off after taking a hit to the head while sliding in a win over USC on Sept. 26. He was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with a concussion.

Raiola showed encouraging signs when he came in for Moore, completing 19 of 25 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions.

Oregon is 3-1 this season, with Moore projected to be one of the top quarterbacks in the 2027 NFL Draft. He has nine touchdowns and no interceptions this season.

Oregon, which had a bye last week, welcomes an undefeated 4-0 UCLA team.
