Oregon QB Dante Moore Injured After Late Hit by USC Linebacker Desman Stephens
Oregon quarterback Dante Moore suffered a serious head injury during a September 26, 2026, game against Southern California after a late hit by USC linebacker Desman Stephens. Stephens was ejected for targeting following the hit, which caused Moore's head to strike the turf and triggered a scuffle between teams. Moore was stretchered off the field, showing movement in his limbs, and taken to the hospital for evaluation. The game was delayed for medical attention, and Oregon replaced Moore with Dylan Raiola, who contributed a touchdown pass.
