I think it's more the whole celebrating


This is what it is. We can debate about the ethics of the hit all day, but celebrating after the fact when a guy has clearly been severely injured is just tasteless, sociopathic shite. It's bad form.

Football hits have been highlights on news since forever. Asking these guys to turn off adrenaline is like ask a soldier to do so in the heat of battle. Some will cross the line into the unacceptable.

Quarterbacks should be down by contact. That would fix some of this. If you touch them the play is over.

Losing a QB changes a season.

You’re an idiot. He slid…..that within itself makes it a flag. He led with his helmet.

defender lowered himself into the QB's head area
The issue was it wasn’t head area until Moore lowered his head to slide, which happened very late. You’re taught to not go for the head and then the QB lowers his head to where you’re trying to make a tackle. I don’t know what a defender is supposed to do. Targeting is already one of the most poorly written rules in the game. To me this is closer to inappropriately calling late hit out of bounds when the offensive player hits the sideline a hundredth of a second faster than the guy popping him

I don’t think people would be arguing this was a heinous hit if the behavior afterwards wasn’t so unbelievably poor. If the defender popped up and showed concern consensus would be closer to “tough call, he really slid late”

I also don’t understand how you don’t retaliate if you’re Oregon. You have to earn at least one ejection on your way out. Bitchmade

Bro, Dante started his slide and the defender was upright. Also, he didn’t need to shoulder check him and bounce his head off the ground.

Everyone knows this is a side effect of the game.

Just don’t be a classless fool after playing out of control.

The time from what you deem “upright” to actively attempting a hit is microscopic

I’m sorry your season is over baw

The slide wasn't late, and it wasn't a situation where there was nothing the defender could do.

Here's a photo of him squared up, still vertical, and the QB already in his slide


If you have time to leave your feet, you have time to avoid contact.

This is why Sam started his slide 4 yards before the critical first down marker

Only did it because of press pressure. Pretty hollow words especially based on actions after it happened. LR allowed him on the sidelines waving a towel and celebrating too. Apologies mean nothing only done to appease, but not meaningful

USC's Statement Regarding Desman Stephens II

"USC Football has suspended Desman Stephens II for one game as a result of his conduct during Saturday’s game against Oregon on Sept. 26. He will not participate in USC’s upcoming game against Washington on Oct. 3."

Lincoln Riley:
“Desman’s actions in last night’s game are unacceptable and are not reflective of USC Football nor of his personal character. He understands his mistake, accepts the consequences of his actions and will learn from this. The entire Trojan Family wishes Dante a full recovery, and we send our best regards to him and his family.”

Desman Stephens II:
“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during yesterday’s game.
Seeing a player injured like that is incredibly serious, and my reaction in the moments afterward was completely inappropriate and inexcusable. Regardless of what was going through my mind at the time, there is no justification for smiling or celebrating while another player receives medical attention.
I take full responsibility for my actions. That is not the person or teammate I want to be, and I will learn from this.
I am deeply sorry to Dante, his family and everyone who saw my reaction. It is not representative of USC or our program. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.”

The response and celebration was that of a sociopath. Even much later he was still on the sideline celebrating. This was not still in the moment.

He is a cancer that should be cut out,
