Dylan Raiola Secures Oregon Victory Over USC

Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola delivered a defining performance for No. 20 Oregon on September 27, completing 19 of 25 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns to lift the Ducks to a 41-27 win over No. 12 USC in Big Ten play. Raiola threw the go-ahead touchdown pass to Dakorien Moore with 8:35 remaining in the fourth quarter and subsequently converted a fourth-and-3 with a 15-yard pass to Evan Stewart on the following drive. The victory marks Oregon’s fifth straight win against the Trojans.

The contest turned physical when USC linebacker Desman Stephens II was ejected for a late hit that knocked Oregon quarterback Dante Moore out of the game.

SEC Statements: Lane Kiffin, Sam Leavitt, and Florida’s Rushing Attack

No. 10 LSU rebounded from a previous loss to Ole Miss by dominating No. 23 Texas A&M 35-6 at Tiger Stadium. Quarterback Sam Leavitt played through injuries to record 312 passing yards, 22 rushing yards, and two touchdowns under coach Lane Kiffin. The win serves as direct revenge for a 49-25 defeat on October 25, 2025, that preceded Brian Kelly’s departure.

In Starkville, No. 24 Mississippi State improved to 4-0 by defeating No. 19 Missouri 31-24. Quarterback Kamario Taylor tallied 360 passing yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Sanfrisco Magee on a 24-yard go-ahead touchdown pass with 3:57 left on the clock, while running back Fluff Bothwell contributed 122 rushing yards and a score.

Meanwhile, No. 21 Florida rolled past No. 4 Ole Miss 52-28 at The Swamp behind first-year coach Jon Sumrall. The Gators amassed 302 rushing yards, led by Jadan Baugh’s 142 yards and three touchdowns—bringing his season totals to 600 yards and 11 scores through four games. Duke Clark added 12 carries for 126 yards and a touchdown, while quarterback Aaron Philo completed 72.4% of his passes.

Disciplinary Issues Mar Top 25 Showdowns

Half of the six Top 25 matchups in Week 4 were impacted by personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. No. 1 Texas defensive end Colin Simmons set a school record with five sacks in the 20-17 win over No. 14 Tennessee, though his performance drew a notable unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for simulating using the restroom. Simmons issued an apology after the game, and the infraction did not alter the final score.

No. 18 Michigan suffered a more costly penalty when cornerback Zeke Berry was flagged for a personal foul, negating a fourth-and-12 stop against No. 17 Iowa. That penalty awarded the Hawkeyes a fresh set of downs, enabling a walk-off touchdown pass from Hank Brown to Reece Vander Zee to secure a 20-19 victory for Iowa.
