On Saturday, UCLA defeated Oregon 17-15, remaining unbeaten for the season. The game was significant as it featured Oregon's backup quarterback Dylan Raiola, who struggled with only 6 completions out of 19 attempts and two interceptions before being replaced by Brock Thomas in a late-game push that fell short. The Ducks' missed 2-point conversion earlier in the game proved critical as they attempted another at the end but failed to retake the lead, securing UCLA's victory which could impact national rankings and playoff standings.
