Raiola throws for 3 TDs to help Oregon beat No. 20 Northwestern 34-26

EUGENE, Ore. -- , Dylan Raiola completed 22 of 31 passes for 336 yards and three touchdowns to help Oregon rally to beat No. 20 Northwestern 34-26 on Saturday. Raiola made his second straight start for the Ducks (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) with Dante Moore ruled out for the season. “I feel like that’s the closest we’ve been to a complete performance,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “That being said, there’s a lot of things we can still do better.” After running back Jordon Davison left the game with what Lanning said was a leg injury in the first half, freshman Brandon Smith led the comeback with 82 yards rushing and scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. “That’s all you want as a coach, is a guy that is not necessarily begging for their opportunity, but ready when their opportunity comes, and I think Brandon’s been that for us throughout this year,” Lanning said.
