'Do it for Dante.' Oregon football rallies for injured QB, beats USC
Oregon football rallies after star quarterback Dante Moore is injured on 'disgusting' hit to beat USC.
In a crucial game for their season and playoff hopes, Oregon's football team rallied around injured quarterback Dante Moore, who suffered a devastating hit to the head during their match-up with USC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on September 26. Moore, a potential Heisman Trophy candidate at the start of the season, left the game in an ambulance following the incident.
Oregon's head coach Dan Lanning described the hit as "disgusting" and the team came together to honor Moore, proclaiming their determination to "do it for Dante." Following the game, which took place in front of a 75,500-strong crowd, Moore was hospitalized and was reported to be in a stable condition, though Lanning declined to comment on his potential return to the team.
Backup quarterback Dylan Raiola stepped up to the plate in Moore's place, throwing for 289 yards, two touchdowns, and leading the Ducks on six scoring drives, ultimately contributing to Oregon's victory over USC with a 41-27 score.
