Eugene, Oregon – The Ducks fell to UCLA with a 17‑15 score, a loss marked by six turnovers and poor quarterback play. Dylan Raiola struggled, completing only six of nineteen passes for forty‑three yards and two interceptions before being replaced by third‑stringer Brock Thomas in the fourth quarter. Thomas guided the offense to a field goal and a touchdown, but a failed two‑point conversion on a Jordon Davison run left the Ducks trailing. The game highlighted deeper issues: an ineffective offensive line, erratic play‑calling, and discipline problems, including a personal foul by A’Mauri Washington. Coach Dan Lanning faces a quarterback dilemma ahead of the Nebraska matchup, as the season’s performance ranks among the most disastrous in recent history.
