Holy smokes did you just see the hit USC put on Oregon quarterback Moore?? Obvious targeting and with Moore convulsing on the field and he dances around celebrating and getting high fives from teammates!! Dylan Raiola now in at quarterback for Oregon.
Oregon vs USC
- Thread starter STtiger2025
- Start date
Moore's arms froze in the air when he got hit. Seen it before and it's not good. Definitely USC trying to take him out and it worked. Now fat mahomes is in at QB.
Did they have to change his jersey when he moved from the oline to QB?
The U$C guy was ejected, I assume? That was blatant targeting PLUS late hit on a sliding QB. What a thug.
Never thought I would say THIS after last season, but, I hope Oregon absolutely crushes them.
Did the dancing and high fives come later? There was none of that in this clip, but could have happened after.
I don’t think that counts as dancing. He immediately gets mobbed (fairly) by Oregon guys and puts his arms up. So I interpreted that as him acting like he did nothing wrong.
Fair enough. It looked like a couple teammates were patting him on the back, but it also could have been them getting him away from the Oregon players.
Either way, it was a total thug move.
I saw that as him putting his arms up in the air acting like "I didn't do it" (yes, he clearly did a dirty hit) when the Oregon players came after him than him celebrating.
And if that was him celebrating, it definitely wasn't dancing. And the high fives?
Edit to add that I'm not defending him. That was a dirty hit and I'm glad he got ejected. The Duck players should be pissed! I saw another video where he was celebrating after, which the OP mentioned. Pure trash.

Agree on the high-fives and dancing. Really irrelevant, though, since he was ejected for a total thug play.
No argument from me as far as the dirty hit. That was awful. I just wasn't sure if he started doing all the other things after.
Says a lot about their coach and the program he runs. Watching that player celebrate with his teammates on the sidelines was disgusting. I’d like to see the B1G fine the program for behavior detrimental to the league.
Watching the halftime show, the talking heads said he was celebrating afterwards on the sidelines.
That's trash. What a POS player.
That's trash. What a POS player.
He starts dancing around flapping his hands above his head and smiling the whole time all the way to the sideline after taking his helmet off and grinning and getting congratulated by many of his teammates. That video shows none of what I was talking about. Started just a few seconds later.
If USC fired Lincoln Riley, I genuinely think we should try to hire him as a QB coach.
I wasn't watching the game, I just happened so see it on a tv over someone's shoulder at dinner after the Iowa game last night. I immediately asked the table if anyone wanted to see a dead body... When I got home and started talking to the kid about it I saw all the taunting and laughing that guy was doing and how his team basically celebrated it. I said that guys getting suspended for sure.
Then I read this morning he was allowed back onto the sidelines after halftime??? And Lincoln Riley defended that and said 'because he's on our team.'. At that point he shouldn't be a member of your team anymore. I'm not saying leave and dont come back, his return can be discussed later, but if I'm a coach if he was taunting after that he's placed on an indefinite suspension immediately.
These are the kind of hits with intent that should be criminal. That was straight up assault. Slippery slope I know, but there's a point you should be able to legally charge a player when they willfully intend to injure someone and that person is in fact seriously injured.
And what's shocking to me is I saw on Facebook tons of people defending it saying moore slid too late and it was his fault. Wtf? So if he didn't slide and was still on his feet and that blow landed he only trying trying to launch with helmet and forearm into the guys kneecap?? Which is even MORE intent to inflict injury.

Moore didn’t slide late. Defender had plenty of time to pull up
They changed the rule and ejected players can stay on the sideline so it is what it is
Most USC reactions I’ve seen online disapprove and do not condone of his celebrations.
I think Reilly finds himself above in-game player discipline and this makes him look just as bad.
Wow, a season-long suspension?! I watched it several times and thought it was one of those bang-bang plays where you could make the argument he was going for the tackle and couldn’t stop his body from doing what he did. One of those “only have a split second to make a decision on what to do” type things. Not saying I condone or liked the hit at all, but I can see why and how it happens in the moment.
That said, I’m guessing his reaction and antics in the minutes following the hit factored into the decision. Showed zero remorse or concern for Moore’s well-being, and continued smiling and celebrating what he’d done.
No. That was an unnecessary shot at a QB clearly going to the ground. He deserves some kind of suspension. You can't let crap like that go.
If an Iowa player had done that, I'd be mortified.
I agree a suspension is necessary, but didn’t think it would be season-long. I think what he did and how he acted after the hit probably contributed to it being season-long. Had he showed concern and remorse right away, probably would’ve been one game.
Some of the talking heads on TV also said Moore slid late trying to get extra yards and its really hard for the defender in that position. In Lannings post game he was ripping the USC kid, but the part that got me is then he got all holier then thou about NONE of this players would EVER do something like that. Pure nonsense. Oregon's had a rep for some of that same kind of stuff and being pretty undisciplined under his regime.
Agree, but I'm sure that will be appealed. I've never heard of that kind of penalty, and that would be quite a precedent.
