Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is taken off the field and transported to a hospital after a late hit during the Ducks’ game against USC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Multiple outlets report Moore is carted off and that the incident occurs in the second quarter after he attempts to slide while scrambling.

USC linebacker Desman Stephens II is ejected for targeting following the hit, according to reports. The outlets describe the moment as severe, with some noting Moore’s apparent unconsciousness and others emphasizing that the play is late. The differing coverage focuses on surrounding details: some outlets note Moore’s injury response and transportation, while others highlight Stephens’ ejection and subsequent celebration with teammates. Oregon’s coaching and team response also appears in coverage, including criticism from coach Dan Lanning.

Oregon later provides injury-status updates, with reports indicating Moore enters concussion protocol and that no additional injuries are believed to be present beyond the concussion concern. Yahoo also reports Oregon rallies for Moore and wins the game after he is injured.
