Dude is legit. That one-hand catch he made was the play of the game. If only it had counted... Any one-hand catch is impressive, but he didnt scoop and cradle it or use his arm, etc. He straight up caught it with the grip of his hand. The hand size/strength to do that and make it look easy is impressive.

Sample size is still very small. He definitely seems to have more of that dynamic slinger to him, sort of like Dillon Gabriel in that way. Dante just seems overly careful...almost stiff by comparison. Assuming Dante misses UCLA that should provide more to go on. If Dante misses several games and Raiola continues to excel I think it becomes less difficult, if they are deep in the season and rolling... But I'm not completely sold just yet. I believe in Dan.

He’s automatically down in the NFL as well. The reason is they don’t want defenders to even think about touching the QB on a slide.

He did end up going for the throat with that 4th down conversion on their last TD drive. Raiola made a great throw to Stewart and we all watched any sense of hope leave the USuC team.

As another poster indicated, I need to see more. If both are available and you had to choose a starter for UCLA, I would stick with Moore for right now. Dylan played great at USC, which is encouraging to see, but it also wasn’t perfect. That ball he threw to Hampton on the sideline could have easily been picked. Also, on the 3rd down when he rolled to the right, he had Stewart WIDE OPEN on post play for an easy TD and he didn’t see him. His mechanics are far from perfect. On the throw to Hampton across the middle, he had time to set and get his body over his feet, but he didn’t. As a result, the throw was behind Hampton. Also, the TD throw to DM was late, but it worked. It’s clear that right now Dylan is more comfortable in the pocket under pressure. It is also clear that Moore’s throwing mechanics are better and he is less likely to put the ball in danger. USC’s defense is VERY bad and you could argue that it is worse than last year. Does Dylan get away with those throws against a great defense or do they result in a turnover or two? I need to see more against a defense that can actually stop someone. He might get that chance in two weeks against UCLA. Let me add that they both are exceptional college QBs, so that is a good problem to have.

Borderline Racist? We're 3-0 vs. Lincoln Riley. Finally, someone stands up for the Irish! 😁

Brian Kelly is expected to be named the new USC head coach.

Are you kidding? I live in Albany... and I heard you!

My concern with Dante is that he has not been very composed when the pocket is collapsing around him. Will this injury exacerbate his lack of poise? It certainly won’t help it and he will likely continue to take the safe outlet pass. I’m quite sure he’s done running upfield. On the other hand, Raiola did well to sling the ball with pressure in his face. On Dakorian Moore’s TD the LT got driven into his lap and he still got the ball off. I have to think Dante bails on that play and throw to a different receiver. It may not matter. Dante suffered what looked like a pretty significant concussion. The lingering effects can last for weeks, if not months. My guess is four to six weeks at a minimum. DL will likely look out for his future (as he already mentioned) knowing he has a guy like Raiola taking the reins.

He absolutely eviscerated USC. Not just the team...the entire organization! Petros went OFF!! He was also VERY complimentary of Lanning!

I saw Stephen A's comments on his program. He wasn't pulling any punches, that is for sure.

We haven't seen Raiola vs a defense that actually game planned for him. I liked what he showed, but he still has a lot to prove after just one game. The flip side: we probably haven't seen what happens when he practices with the starters. This will be interesting and I'm looking forward to the next game.

Very well done, Oregon! Respect the Game video with Chris Brown’s “Loyal” on the piano keys is ice cold. 🥶

Dante is a class act and I hope that he does what is best for him.

What did he say? I can’t stand to listen to that guy or Canzo.

In college, you don’t even need to touch a player when his knee is down, he’s down. Not sure about the NFL.

Nice right plant foot for the drive into Dante... absolutely obvious from this angle.

All we had to see was the celebration afterwards to know it was intentional.

Glad OBD has a relatively early bye week. Good incremental improvement the last couple weeks answer having the extra time for uninterrupted practice is going to be so valuable going forward. UCLA should be an unexpectedly competitive game.
