Follow along for live updates from Tyson Alger in the press box.

End of first half: Oregon 13, USC 10

6:11 p.m.: The Ducks end the quarter with an 18-yard field goal to give Oregon a 13-10 lead as the game heads into halftime.

The stats:

5:58 p.m.: USC ties the game at 10-10 with a field goal.

Here’s an update on Moore, courtesy of NBC.

5:38 p.m.: Moore’s injury puts Oregon backup quarterback Dylan Raiola in for his first competitive reps with the Ducks. Oregon runs on the first play for a small gain, then Raiola finds Evan Stewart for a 3-yard touchdown pass to Evan Stewart to put Oregon up 10-7 with 9:04 to go in the second quarter.

5:25 p.m.: Dante Moore injury

An ugly and scary moment here at the Coliseum, as Dante Moore is down on the field after a late and massive hit from linebacker Desman Stephens II. The cart is out and he’s currently being attended to by both teams’ training staffs.

Stephens has been ejected for targeting.

Moore could be seen moving his extremities and was just loaded into an ambulance.

The scene:

5:17 p.m.: USC strikes first here in the second quarter.

After an Oregon three-and-out, the Trojans made pretty quick work up the field — buoyed by a hands-to-face penalty — that was capped by a 31-yard touchdown pass from Jayden Maiava to Kayden Dixon-Wyatt. 

With 12:53 to go in the second quarter, USC leads 7-3. 

5:07 p.m.: End of first quarter

A defensive slugfest, just as we all predicted, right? The first quarter ends with Oregon leading 3-0 and driving deep in their own territory.

4:56 p.m.: Oregon’s first offensive drive begins perfectly with a 45-yard Jordon Davison run. But Oregon’s drive stalls in the red zone after a pair of holding penalties, forcing the Ducks to settle for a field goal.

With 3:34 to play in the first, Oregon leads 3-0.

4:42 p.m.: Some ups and downs there for Oregon’s first defensive possession. On one hand, the Trojans carved through Oregon’s passing defense pretty easily to make it into the red zone. But sacks from Jerry Mixon and Bear Alexander forced a field goal, which the Trojans missed.

It’s still scoreless with 9:05 to play in the first quarter.
