Dante Moore is out for the rest of Oregon's season, leaving the Ducks without their star quarterback and raising questio Via @usatodaysports on X

What happened: Moore has been sidelined since Oregon held him out of the Week 7 game against Nebraska. With his collegiate campaign over, the quarterback shifts his focus toward NFL draft preparation.

Why it matters: The decision leaves the Ducks turning to quarterback Dylan Raiola, who took pregame snaps with center Poncho Laloulu against Illinois, alongside a receiving corps that saw Evan Stewart downgraded to doubtful in mid-October. NFL front offices will now evaluate Moore on an abbreviated 2026 sample and his medical clearance.

By the numbers: Oregon climbed to No. 2 nationally in a 34-27 victory over Boise State on Sept. 7 before sliding to a 4-3 mark.

What to watch: Oregon faces upcoming matchups against Northwestern and Ohio State while Moore begins pre-draft preparations.
