Miami's Carson Beck (3), Oklahoma's John Mateer (3), Penn State's Drew Allar (2), Arizona State's Sam Leavitt (1) and Texas' Arch Manning (1).received votes, but Moore wasn't mentioned once.
In Oregon's 3-0 start, the 6-3, 210 quarterback from Detroit, Michigan has completed 78 percent of his passes for 657 yards and seven touchdowns, displaying arm talent, pocket awareness and decision-making while making one turnover-worthy throw in 64 passes.
