The Oregon Ducks will reportedly start quarterback Brock Thomas over Dylan Raiola for Saturday night's game against Nebraska, according to On3.
Raiola, who transferred to Oregon in January after playing two seasons with the Cornhuskers, struggled during last week's 17-15 loss to UCLA. The junior went 6-for-19 for 43 yards and two interceptions. He was relieved by Thomas, who ended the game going 11-for-15 for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Both quarterbacks saw action due to the absence of Dante Moore, who suffered a concussion during last month's win over USC. Moore is out of concussion protocol and has returned to practice in pads, according to Oregon head coach Dan Lanning.

Lanning hinted earlier this week that the offense could be different for the Nebraska game, but was not about to announce what he had in mind.
“There’s going to be some changes, some differences in the way that we operate and what we do, and there already is, the way we’ve operated this week,” Lanning said. “But as far as revealing how we’ll do that, what things will look like, I’m not going to share that with [the media].”
The 3-2 Ducks and 5-1 Cornhuskers will kick off from Autzen Stadium at 11 p.m. ET on Fox.
