Dan Lanning spars with reporter after Dante Moore misses media following Oregon's loss to Oklahoma State

The Oregon Ducks suffered the most shocking loss of the young college football season by falling to Oklahoma State 39-31 in Week 2.

Senior quarterback Dante Moore was nowhere to be found during media availability following the Ducks' loss on the road, which was noticed by every reporter in the room, but according to head coach Dan Lanning, his absence was excused.

The way in which Lanning explained the situation with Moore, however, has led to quite the reaction among fans.

The 40-year-old shared that his quarterback was dehydrated after the final whistle in Stillwater, Okla., before alluding to that being the cause of his absence during the postgame media scrum.

OKLAHOMA STATE MIGHT HAVE KNOWN WHICH PLAYS OREGON DUCKS WERE RUNNING DURING UPSET WIN "I don’t think he chose not to," Lanning said during his news conference on Monday.

"Did you know he was getting two IVs after the game? He was dehydrated.

He’ll be speaking to you guys tomorrow.

Any question that you want to ask him, you can certainly ask him.

"I don’t know if you’ve ever given an interview while you’re getting an IV at the same time, getting treatment.

Does that make a little more sense? And then there’s a bus and a flight you’re trying to catch, as well.

But Dante will be here tomorrow.

You can talk to Dante.

He was cramping up on the field."

When asked why the information about Moore being dehydrated wasn't relayed to the media following the game, Lanning turned defensive.
