Dan Lanning Fires Back at Criticism of Dante Moore's Postgame Absence
Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning was not happy about questions regarding Dante Moore's postgame absence.
The Oregon Ducks faced a significant upset loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday, with a final score of 39-31. Following the game, senior quarterback Dante Moore was notably absent when head coach Dan Lanning addressed the press. This absence sparked speculation and criticism, with many believing Moore was intentionally avoiding the media following the defeat.
Lanning was questioned about Moore's postgame silence during a Monday press conference. "I don't think he chose not to," Lanning stated, clearly irritated. "He was dehydrated, suffering from cramps, and cramping up on the field. The first thing we're going to do after each game is ensure proper treatment." Moore had a challenging performance, completing 14 of 29 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns, while taking four sacks and losing nine yards rushing on the ground.
Lanning and the Ducks will aim to regain momentum with their upcoming game against Portland State on Friday night.
