Dante Moore Knocked Out After Brutal Hit

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, a potential top NFL draft pick, was knocked unconscious after a brutal targeting hit by USC's Desmond Stephens during today's game.

Moore ran for 10 yards in the second quarter before sliding feet-first. After his knee hit the ground, Stephens drove his shoulder into the back of Moore's head, causing the QB to exhibit the fencing response associated with serious head trauma. Moore remained on the field for several minutes before being placed on a stretcher and carted to an ambulance. He was moving his hands and feet, which are positive signs. sportbet.reviews

Stephens was immediately ejected for targeting, and a brawl nearly erupted as Oregon players confronted him and both teams left the sidelines. The situation was calmed by officials and coaches. Moore, considered one of college football's most talented QBs, chose to return to Oregon for another season instead of entering the NFL draft, with his immediate health now the primary concern.
