Chris Simms apologizes for halftime take on Dante Moore injury

NBC college football analyst Chris Simms posted a video on social media to express regret over his on-air remarks during the Oregon and USC matchup. While quarterback Dante Moore was immobilized on the turf following a severe hit from linebacker Desman Stephens and subsequently placed in an ambulance, Simms initially criticized the injured player for sliding too late and characterized the stoppage as a Debbie Downer.

Although he did condemn Stephens for laughing on the sideline and acknowledged that officials will prioritize protecting signal-callers, Simms issued a public apology to fans and the Oregon program after facing heavy backlash for lacking empathy during the broadcast.
