The story, neutrally told

Mixed · 2No. 21 UCLA beat No. 13 Oregon 17-15 in Eugene on Saturday. Right · 1Fox News describes the result as a win that keeps UCLA unbeaten and strengthens its push toward a Big Ten Championship appearance. It also says the result will shake up the rankings, the Big Ten standings and the College Football Playoff picture. Right · 1Fox News reports that Oregon was without starting quarterback Dante Moore, who had a concussion against USC, so backup Dylan Raiola started.

Right · 1Scoring began with a UCLA first-quarter field goal, and Oregon answered with a touchdown. Oregon's two-point conversion failed, and UCLA added touchdowns in the second and fourth quarters to lead 17-6. Centre · 1Raiola finished 6-of-19 for 43 yards with two interceptions, and Newsweek adds a fumble. Newsweek says Oregon committed seven turnovers in total. Mixed · 2Coach Dan Lanning replaced Raiola with senior Brock Thomas. Fox News places the change after UCLA went up 17-6 in the fourth quarter, while Newsweek says Raiola was benched at the end of the third quarter.

Right · 1Thomas led a field goal drive with just over five minutes left and then threw a touchdown pass to Evan Stewart to make it 17-15 with a little over two minutes remaining. Oregon's second two-point attempt did not tie the game, and the Ducks' last possession did not produce a lead. Centre · 1After the game Lanning said he needed to evaluate everything on offense, including play calling, which offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer has been handling. Newsweek speculates that Mehringer might not keep that duty. Centre · 1Oregon is now 3-2, and Lanning said, "We don't control our destiny anymore." The Ducks had scored 190 points in their first four games, including an 84-0 win over Portland State, and play unranked Nebraska next Saturday.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
