Oregon is expected to start walk-on quarterback Brock Thomas against Nebraska, with Dylan Raiola reportedly moving to the bench. Multiple outlets frame the change as a response to Raiola’s recent performance, with coach Dan Lanning weighing a quarterback shift ahead of the Week 7 matchup at Autzen Stadium.
The decision is also influenced by Oregon’s injury and availability issues. Dante Moore remains sidelined with a concussion, leaving Thomas and Raiola as the primary options in practice. One outlet also notes uncertainty around the status of leading receiver Evan Stewart. Across reports, Oregon enters the game with a 3–2 record and is 1–1 in Big Ten play heading into the matchup, as the Ducks look to regain momentum.
