In USC territory on first down, Moore ran up the field prior to sliding. However, while in the process, Stephens hit him hard, resulting in Moore’s head knocking into the ground.
Moore stayed down on the field while a brawl broke out between each team at midfield, with coaches having to separate multiple players. Officials penalized Stephens for targeting and disqualified him from the rest of the game, while both Oregon and USC were issued unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
After Moore was examined by the Ducks training staff for a lengthy period while he remained on the ground, he was placed on a stretcher and put on a cart. From there, he was taken off the field, repositioned onto another gurney, and placed into an ambulance.
