Dylan Raiola’s late touchdown pass gives Oregon 17-14 win over Nebraska

Oregon beat Nebraska 17-14 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene on Saturday, October 17, after Dylan Raiola threw a four-yard touchdown pass to Jamari Johnson with 28 seconds remaining, according to the Associated Press. Raiola entered in the fourth quarter with Oregon trailing 14-6 and led the comeback against the team for which he had played the previous two seasons.

Raiola’s first drive ended in a 37-yard field goal by Gage Hurych. Late in the game, Raiola appeared to connect with Dakorien Moore for a four-yard touchdown with 33 seconds left, but a review overturned the play. He then found Johnson in the back of the end zone. Oregon added the two-point conversion to complete the win, AP reported.

How Oregon came back against Nebraska

Hurych made three field goals in the second half. One Oregon possession was aided by Nebraska punter Archie Wilson accidentally taking a knee while handling a low snap, AP reported. The teams had punted 13 times and committed one turnover each in the first half.

Raiola completed 11 of 18 passes for 59 yards in the fourth quarter. Colandrea finished 18 of 33 for 164 passing yards and a touchdown, adding 33 rushing yards and another score for Nebraska. The result left Oregon at 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten; Nebraska fell to 5-2 and 2-2 in conference play, according to AP.
