The Oregon Ducks are hosting the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday evening, and the official availability report has confirmed that Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart will not be playing for Nebraska.
With fellow Ducks wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan still out with a broken foot, Oregon wide receiver Dakorien Moore becomes the featured target for quarterback Brock Thomas, who is reportedly starting over quarterback Dylan Raiola.

The Ducks are 3-2 after losses to UCLA and Oklahoma State, and a third loss to Nebraska would effectively eliminate Oregon from College Football Playoff contention. Oregon's starting quarterback Dante Moore has not played since suffering a concussion in the Ducks' win over USC, an injury that sent Moore to the hospital before traveling back to Eugene, Oregon, with the team.

Raiola came in of relief of Moore during the USC game and led the Ducks to a win over the Trojans, but Raioa's appearance against UCLA was a different story. Raiola was benched in favor of Thomas in the fourth quarter, and the former third-string quarterback is expected to be thrust into a starting role against the Cornhuskers on Saturday.

"Everything's being evaluated. I wouldn't reveal anything that we would do different. Doesn't give us any advantage from that standpoint. But there's a lot of pieces. It's really easy to point in one spot. I'd say that. I wear it, right," said Lanning.

"Our whole staff wears it. Our whole team wears it. Every one of us has opportunities to improve. But yeah, there's going to be some changes. There's going to be some differences in in the way that we operate and what we do, and there already is, and the way we've operated this week. But as far as revealing like how we'll do that, what things will look like, I'm not going to share that with you guys."
