Oregon's final-drive rally to beat Nebraska Oct. 17 in Autzen Stadium was just impressive enough to keep the Ducks ranked Sunday morning.
No. 25 Oregon maintained its spot at the bottom of the US LBM Coaches poll for the second-straight week thanks to a 17-14 win against the Cornhuskers Saturday night.
The Ducks (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) opened the season at No. 2 but have struggled at times this season, no more so than the last two weeks with starting quarterback Dante Moore in concussion recovery.
But against Nebraska, backup Dylan Raiola came off the bench in the fourth quarter and led the Ducks to 11-unanswered points, the victory and, ultimately, a top-25 ranking.
The Associated Press rankings come out later Sunday.
Up next for Oregon is a game against Illinois at noon PT Oct. 24 in Champaign.
