Dante Moore injury: Dan Lanning incensed on sideline, drops hammer on USC in postgame presser

Oregon coach Dan Lanning had a strong reaction to the injury to quarterback Dante Moore during an emotional win over No. 12 USC.

Moore attempted to slide after rushing for a first down against the Trojans, but was slammed to the ground by linebacker Desman Stephens II. He was carted off the field, but Stephens appeared to celebrate the hit and smile even after it was apparent Moore suffered a serious injury.

"Our guys respect the game," Lanning said. "I don't think you'd ever see that from our players. I don't think you've ever seen that from our coaches.

"I don't think that's necessarily an indictment on coach [Lincoln] Riley because I can't speak to what I didn't see, and I know he was quick to voice his concern for our players, but it's a disgusting play. You don't want to see it happen. It's disappointing that it happened."

Lanning was praised after the game for stepping up for his players and rallying them on the sideline. He consoled several players who are close to Moore, and helped build up backup quarterback Dylan Raiola as he faced his first real action of the season.

Love this fire in a head…
