Oregon Beats USC 41-27 as Moore Exits Injured

No. 20 Oregon beat No. 12 USC 41-27 in Los Angeles, extending its winning streak over the Trojans to five games and giving coach Dan Lanning a 3-0 record against USC. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore was hit as he slid in the second quarter, and USC linebacker Desman Stephens II was ejected for targeting; Moore was taken by ambulance to a hospital, and Lanning later said he could move his extremities. Stephens’ apparent celebration while Moore was down drew criticism, and Lanning called the hit “disgusting.” Backup Dylan Raiola threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns as Oregon rallied and pulled away after USC tied the score at 27 in the fourth quarter. Lanning later mocked USC’s home attendance and taunted the Trojans, who fell to 4-1.
