UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — Richard Moore paused and laughed before he attempted to answer the unanswerable.
The question — how many different defensive coordinators has he played under in his college career — seemed routine. For a normal college football player, it’s rather easy. But for Moore, it’s a test of mental fortitude and memory retention.
“Let’s see, there is Snyder, Chavis, Van…” Moore said, trailing off as he stumbled through his response, swaying with the discomfort of knowing he could miss someone.
“[There’s] Kane,” he continued. “[Is that] five?”
He missed one. His most recent defensive coordinator, Jim Leavitt.
