After going 6-of-19 for 43 yards with 3 turnovers against UCLA, Raiola was benched for Brock Thomas, who showed some promise late. With Dante Moore's status uncertain, this is now a competition between Raiola and Thomas who gets the chance to prove himself @oregonfootball
Oregon head coach Dan Lanning said there will be competition for starting quarterback if Dante Moore can't play against Nebraska this week.
On what the Nebraska game means for Dylan Raiola: "This game — of course, it's going to be an emotional game for Dylan, being the place he came from. He's going to do everything he can to make sure our team is in the best situation to have success this week and be prepared. ... I know he'll do that because he's a pro."

Micah Parsons isn't wrong, but the Cowboys' defense has to back it up. 👀 @dallascowboys has the offensive firepower to compete with anyone, but that means little if the defense can't get off the field in crucial moments.
Micah Parsons on Dallas Cowboys: “Their [2-3] record is more deceiving than people think” 🤔 👀
Micah Parsons predicts that the Cowboys will be No.1 in the NFC East standings. 👀
He says they’re showing a lot of good stuff on tape and are just “a few stops away” from turning their results around. With the highest-scoring offense in the league and a weak division, he believes the only things missing are consistent defensive effort, hustle to the ball, and the small details in coverage.
Host: “and No.1?”
Parsons: “I’m gonna take the Cowboys.”
“But the thing I wanna say about the Cowboys is, with their record, it’s more deceiving than, like they showing so much good stuff off tape, they’re just a few stops away.”
“You’re, you have the highest point per margin offense in the league, great. So you’re not a, you know it’s not a problem scoring points. It’s just about how, what’s the details, what’s the effort, and what’s the commitment gonna look like every day as a defense to say, hey, we’re gonna hustle to the ball, and we’re gonna get stops and play good coverage, and do the small details. That’s all they’re missing.”
Is Micah on Point or is he off on this? 👇

The Cowboys defense had a "heart-to-heart" players meeting, per DeMarvion Overshown.
"We’ve got to talk to each other like that because the ship is only going to go as far as the weakest person on the boat. As long as we all in this together, I think we’re going to be great."
Reminder: Tennessee and Alabama will both wear their home jersey's for this weekend’s Third Saturday in October game.
First time since the 1970s. The agreement is in place for 2027, too.

🚨🚨 Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott admitted that the team's repeated highs and lows over the past few seasons have been frustrating:
“It’s frustrating. I wouldn’t say I’m personally fatigued. But yeah, it’s frustrating... I know guys are trying, but it sucks. And yeah, I definitely won’t use the word fatigue, but it’s frustrating. It’s challenging. It’s very, very challenging, and it’s something that I’m going to embrace."

The Buccaneers increased their Blitz Rate against the Cowboys by 10%, going from 38% to 48%.
The pressure really cranked up on run downs, going from 26% to 40%.
One of the main ways HC Todd Bowles likes to attack under-center runs is with vertical pressure.
Against Dallas, we saw a change-up to his typical open-side (away-from-the-TE) path.
Using an "opposite" tag, the LB to the TE attacks the open-side A-gap.

The Dallas Cowboys have opened as 1.5-point favorites for their Week 6 game on the road against the Green Bay Packers.
Yes. Favorites. On the road. At Lambeau. Sunday Night Football. I don't get it either.

After a sluggish start, the @OU_Athletics found their rhythm on the ground, outgained @TexasFootball 96–41 in the third quarter, and controlled the tempo to swing momentum their way. Despite some fourth-quarter struggles, Mateer’s late passes to Sategna set up the game-winner.
