Oregon Wide Receiver Comments on USC After Game Incident

Oregon wide receiver Messiah Hampton made a post on Instagram following Oregon's 41-27 victory over USC, referencing a USC towel and stating, "Ain’t neva rock a Trojan since I was jhit." This comment followed a tumultuous game where Oregon quarterback Dante Moore left the field in an ambulance after a hit from USC safety Desman Stephen II, who was later ejected for celebrating the play. USC head coach Lincoln Riley noted that Stephen II remained on the sideline due to his team status and claimed he did not see the celebration. On Sunday, USC announced that Stephen II would face a one-game suspension for his actions. Despite the incident, both teams continued to play a relatively clean game afterward, with Nebraska transfer Dylan Raiola completing 19 of 25 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns. After the game, players and coaches from both schools were involved in an altercation in the tunnel that required separation. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning also made headlines during his postgame press conference, suggesting that recruits interested in attending a Chris Brown concert should consider USC.
