Oregon QB Moore sustained concussion on late hit; USC suspends LB Stephens for 1 game for hit

Oregon signal-caller Dante Moore exited Saturday's contest against Southern California on a stretcher after absorbing a helmet-to-chest blow from opposing linebacker Desman Stephens during a quarterback slide. Ducks head coach Dan Lanning reported Sunday that imaging exams cleared his player of any structural damage following the concussion diagnosis.

Stephens received an immediate targeting ejection, and the Trojans program announced a subsequent one-game suspension for the defender and his controversial post-play celebration. USC leader Lincoln Riley condemned the behavior as unacceptable, while Stephens issued a formal apology acknowledging his inappropriate reaction while medical personnel attended to the injured freshman.
