Eugene, Oregon, is the talk of the Big Ten college football transfer portal world as the wait finally ended Monday: now-former Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Dylan Raiola <\/a>will play for the Oregon Ducks<\/a> this fall in a now-viral dump from On3<\/a> that was later confirmed by Raiola himself in a simple post on social media.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a massive development for both teams involved. For one, the Cornhuskers will have to rebuild their identity around a new quarterback, while the Ducks are either going all-in on Raiola or they may have to make him beat out current starting quarterback Dante Moore<\/a> to win the permanent job.<\/p>\n

This, of course, is only possible if Moore opts to stay in school rather than declare for the draft early.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s the decision that may decide the entire trajectory of the Ducks’ season, much less the reputation of Ducks coach Dan Lanning, as he came up a game short of a national title berth against the Indiana Hoosiers this past Friday.<\/a><\/p>\n

Does Dante Moore’s NFL Draft decision change?<\/p>\n

Moore told reporters<\/a> he was undecided regarding what he would do next, but it seems much clearer: his chance to go to the NFL is right now.<\/p>\n

Worst-case scenario, Moore underperforms in fall camp. This forces him to essentially sit out behind Raiola for an entire season and potentially not see the field at all.<\/p>\n

That not only hurts his draft stock but is also potentially regrettable for the New York Jets if their interest in him remains as high as reports indicate.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the sport is undergoing yet another unique transition: big-time quarterback controversies that affect not just one player; it’s the team, those around them, and other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

How does college football change this fall in wake of Dylan Raiola’s transfer?<\/p>\n

Therefore, it will be fascinating to see the full picture that unfolds. But, with one week to go until the national title game between the Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes<\/a>, the sport simply refuses to take a day off.<\/p>\n

And for some, they wouldn’t want it any other way<\/p>\n
