Moore went into a feet-first slide on a 10-yard run, and after his knee hit the ground, Stephens drove his shoulder into Moore's head, slamming the back of his head into the ground. Moore exhibited the fencing response that frequently comes with serious head trauma and was on the ground for several minutes before being placed on a stretcher and carted to an ambulance. He was moving his hands and feet. Stephens was ejected from the game for targeting, and a brawl nearly broke out as Oregon players reacted to the hit.
