Oregon QB Moore Carted Off After Head Injury

With 10:05 remaining in the second quarter, Moore escaped pressure and took off running before being struck in the head by USC linebacker Desman Stephens III as he began to slide. Moore remained down on the field as tempers flared between the two teams. Oregon's players and medical staff gathered around Moore before he was placed on a stretcher with his head supported by a neck brace and taken by cart toward an ambulance. xsportfeed.quest

According to NBC broadcast, Moore could be seen moving both his arms and feet "a tad" as he was carted away. Stephens was ejected from the game after the hit was confirmed as targeting. Backup quarterback Dylan Raiola entered the game following Moore's injury and connected with wide receiver Evan Stewart for a three-yard touchdown pass on his first throw of the game. Raiola and Stewart both held up five fingers in support of Moore following the touchdown.
