EUGENE, Ore. (AP) --- Dylan Raiola threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jamari
Johnson with 28 seconds left to give Oregon a come-from-behind 17-14 victory
over Nebraska on Saturday night.
Raiola, who played two seasons for Nebraska, came into the game in the fourth
quarter with the Huskers up 14-6. His first drive ended with Gage Hurych's
37-yard field goal.
Raiola appeared to find Dakorien Moore with a 4-yard touchdown pass with 33
seconds left but it was overturned upon review. He then found Johnson in the
back of the end zone and the 2-point conversion was good to give Oregon (4-2,
2-1 Big Ten) the win.
Anthony Colandrea finished 18 of 33 for 164 yards and a score, and ran for 33
yards and another touchdown for the Cornhuskers (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten).
Raiola was 11 of 18 for 59 yards in the fourth quarter. Third string
quarterback Brock Turner started the game for the Ducks but was largely
ineffective, going 9 of 20 for 54 yards and an interception.
The game was scoreless until late in the second quarter when Colandrea found
Kwazi Gilmer in the back corner of the end zone. The two teams punted 13 times
and turned the ball over once each in first half.
Colandrea dove for the pylon at the end of a 6-yard scramble at the end of the
third quarter to make it 14-6.
Oregon struggled for most of the game. Three second-half drives --- one fueled
by an accidental kneel down on a low snap by Nebraska punter Archie Wilson ---
resulted in a trio of field goals for the Ducks.
The Ducks' offense had just 91 total yards before Thomas, a former walk-on, was
replaced by Raiola, who transferred to Oregon in the offseason.
Dante Moore, the Ducks' starting quarterback, remained unavailable because of a
concussion he sustained in Oregon's 41-27 victory over USC on Sept. 26.
