UCLA defeated Oregon 17-15 on the road to remain undefeated and boost its Big Ten Championship prospects.

UCLA defeated Oregon 17-15 on Saturday to remain undefeated and significantly improve its Big Ten Championship outlook. The No. 21 Bruins scored a field goal in the first quarter, added a touchdown in the second, and another in the fourth to reach 17 points. Oregon, ranked No. 13, answered with a field goal and a touchdown but failed on a two-point conversion attempt in the first quarter that would have narrowed the gap.

Oregon was without starting quarterback Dante Moore, who had sustained a concussion against USC. Backup Dylan Raiola started but struggled, completing 6 of 19 passes for 43 yards and two interceptions. In the fourth quarter, Oregon coach Dan Lanning replaced Raiola with third-string quarterback Brock Thomas, who led a drive that resulted in a field goal and then a touchdown pass to wide receiver Evan Stewart to bring the score to 17-15 with just over two minutes remaining.

Oregon's attempt at another two-point conversion to take the lead failed, and UCLA secured the win. The New York Post reported that Oregon had performed a pregame skit featuring a Trojan horse replica meant to reference the Ducks' earlier victory over USC two weeks prior, which became a subject of mockery on social media after the loss to UCLA. Oregon dropped to 3-2 on the season with the defeat.
