Ducks' QB Moore Out, DB Depth Tested Before UCLA Clash
9 Oct
Summary
- Quarterback Dante Moore is out for the UCLA game.
- Defensive backs Aaron Flowers and Aaron Scott Jr. are injured.
- Receiver Jalen Lott is off the injury report, possibly playing.
The Oregon Ducks are facing significant personnel challenges ahead of their game against the No. 21 UCLA Bruins, with starting quarterback Dante Moore officially listed as out. This update follows a pattern of offensive injuries, including guard Trent Ferguson and receiver Jeremiah McClellan, who is out with a broken foot.
Defensive back depth has also taken a hit. Safety Aaron Flowers remains doubtful, while defensive back Aaron Scott Jr. is questionable. This situation leaves the Ducks potentially without a starting safety, with true freshman Jett Washington or experienced junior Peyton Woodyard expected to fill the role.
In brighter news for Oregon, receiver Jalen Lott has been removed from the injury report after recovering from minor hand surgery. Lott, a highly-touted freshman, could see significant playing time in the absence of McClellan, bringing his potential to the field.
