Two roads converged in the green and yellow wood over the last 48 hours as Dylan Raiola signed with the Ducks on Monday, then Dante Moore announced Wednesday morning that he's returning to Oregon.
In a related development, the FBS coaches voted unanimously Tuesday to expand the redshirt rule to nine games, pending Executive Committee approval.
It's expected to pass, and when it does, it sets up the Oregon program to have the most stable quarterback situation in the FBS, a Heisman Trophy candidate and first-round draft pick at starter, coupled with a backup with 22 games as a Big Ten starter in Raiola, who completed 72.
