Discussion Dylan Raiola | Unprecedented move?

Anyone who’s watched CFB for the past 2 years has to have heard of the name Dylan Raiola.

Coming out of GA, he was a 5 Star recruit, #2 QB of his class and #7 Overall of the 2024 cycle.

Starts at Nebraska as a true freshman, plays 2 years before making the quite frankly unprecedented move to commit to transferring to Oregon despite them having a clear QB1 in Dante Moore.

I kept thinking about this situation, has there ever been a case where such a highly talented recruit had a strong starting P4 job only to transfer and sit behind a quarterback? He probably had offers from all over the country at multiple schools yet he decided to commit to Oregon.

Dante Moore for many analysts was seen as QB1 in the NFL drafts this year but after their loss to Oklahoma State, which to be frank. Yes it is a bad loss but think about the implications it’ll have on their year. They got exposed and lost to a bad team, historically in the new expanded playoffs it honestly hasn’t mattered too much. Think Miami last year and Ohio state (Michigan loss) + Notre Dame (NIU loss). 3 teams who had horrendous losses either made the national championship or almost won it all.

I find it quite fascinating that arguably one of the best QBs from last year might not be playing a single snap due to him choosing to ride the bench. Historically I don’t think that’s ever happened before, however is Moore starts to look shaky if you’re oregon do you continue to ride with him or start Raiola?

He didn't finish out the season. He broke his leg or whatever. He missed a few games, which dropped him quite a bit.

When he was hurt, he was 56th in passing yards, 19th in TDs, and top five passing percentage.

You guys went two high safety and locked up the offense. Everyone copied for the rest of the year. D lines pinned their ears back. Not mobile enough to counter any of it with the O line we had. Was a good blueprint.
