Oregon football showed a relentless display of fury against Oklahoma State. All after Mike Gundy fired off some words toward Dan Lanning. Which quarterback Dante Moore clearly took personal and likened it to attacking a “family member.”
Moore and the Ducks blasted the Cowboys in astonishing fashion: Rolling to a 69-3 romp at Autzen Stadium. The performance on Oklahoma State's side led to fans ripping Gundy.
Plus persuaded Moore to light into the longtime Cowboys head coach. Which he shared via Zachary Neel of USA Today after the game.
“When you attack our head coach, it's like you're attacking my dad. You're attacking a family member,” Moore bluntly shared. “For him to attack Phil [Knight] and attack Coach Lanning and attack the team was personal. We were gonna keep the foot on the neck and make sure we score these points and try to break the scoreboard.”
