Oregon rallies past USC 41–27 after Dante Moore injury
Dylan Raiola directed four second-half touchdown drives after Oregon quarterback Dante Moore left the Los Angeles Coliseum in an ambulance.
No. 20 Oregon rallied to defeat No. 12 USC 41–27 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night, the Associated Press reported through ABC7 Los Angeles on September 27. The Ducks turned to Dylan Raiola after starting quarterback Dante Moore was injured late in a second-quarter slide. USC linebacker Desman Stephens was ejected for targeting, and play stopped for about 15 minutes while Moore received medical attention before leaving in an ambulance.
