The USC radio booth's response to the controversial hit on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore continues to draw attention. Following the play, USC linebacker Desman Stephens was suspended for a game, and he apologized alongside head coach Lincoln Riley. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning described the incident as "disgusting," and former Oregon recruit Dylan Raiola has since taken over Moore's role.
Oregon proceeded to win the game 41-27, but Moore's recovery is still uncertain. The hit also elicited criticism from NBC analyst Chris Simms, who acknowledged his lack of concern for Moore's safety. As the USC radio booth's comments come under scrutiny, Portland KOIN sports reporter Brenna Greene shared a clip of Pete Arbogast, a longtime Trojans radio commentator, attempting to downplay the severity of the hit.
Greene called his efforts "just straight embarrassing," while former Trojans All-American and radio analyst Shaun Cody's reaction offered a stark contrast, revealing a more critical perspective from within the broadcast booth.
