Story summary

Dan Lanning, head coach of the Oregon Ducks, appeared on "The Jim Rome Show" to discuss the injury sustained by his quarterback Dante Moore during a game against USC. During the match on Saturday, Moore was taken off the field in an ambulance and later hospitalized after suffering a hit from USC linebacker Desman Stephens II. After the incident, Bob Chesney, who recently joined UCLA's football program, offered his assistance to Lanning via text message while returning to Los Angeles. Chesney, formerly associated with Oregon’s program, suggested he could visit Moore if needed and made himself available for support despite giving his team an off day on Wednesday. Stephens II celebrated after the hit, leading to controversy and a one-game suspension for the linebacker in Week 5 against Washington.
