UCLA Upsets Oregon 17‑15, Keeps Perfect Season Alive
WHY IT MATTERS
The victory keeps UCLA undefeated, boosts its Big Ten title hopes, and reshapes the CFP landscape, while Oregon’s loss dents its playoff prospects.
What happened
UCLA defeated Oregon 17‑15 on Saturday, preserving its unbeaten record and strengthening its bid for a Big Ten Championship berth. The Bruins opened the game with a first‑quarter field goal, then added touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters to lead 17‑6.
Oregon, missing starting quarterback Dante Moore after a concussion, relied on backup Dylan Raiola, who finished 6‑of‑19 for 43 yards and two interceptions. Coach Dan Lanning later inserted senior Brock Thomas, who guided the Ducks to a late field goal and a touchdown that narrowed the margin to 17‑15.
Despite a final drive, Oregon could not overcome the Bruins’ defense, and the loss will ripple through the rankings, Big Ten standings, and the College Football Playoff picture.
