Matt Moore Quotations

Mike runs good routes, and he's always making the big play, ... He pulled down a few high balls I threw last week, and made it look like nothing. I've played with some good receivers at UCLA, but Mike is in a class all by himself. He's a real classy, quiet Oregon guy. He just takes care of business.

Sean did really well. He threw the ball well, and his squad moved the ball better than anybody.

He continues to do what he does in big situations. That guy is amazing. I'm just thankful he's on our side.

He's going to be the man. He has everything to be a star quarterback. Sean is going to be a stud.

People always look at me just, 'Oh, he's going to get broken in half,' and blah, blah, blah,

Our team really showed something. (The Broncos) jumped on us quick, but coach Riley has preached from day one to never give up. We showed a lot by coming back the way we did today.

Mike and I were on the same page always. He was helping me out in the huddle and on the sidelines. He was in my ear telling me how it was going to be and most of the time he was right. Smart man.

Drew knows me very well. We're good buddies,

With JT and Yve back there, it's going to be a big help. They are interchangeable. JT is a different runner, and he's bigger. We missed him Saturday. He's a threat back there.

I started off slow, but once we got going, I found out that football is fun again.

When I went to UCLA I was young, just 18 years old, ... I had an idea, but now that I'm older and really got to the know the playbook, coach Riley's scheme and everything has worked well for me.

There definitely will be some emotion. I guess I will have a chip on my shoulder, but that's in every game I play,

Often when discussions of teacher salaries are going on, people are comparing themselves to the national average, ... We're suggesting that might not be the best comparison. People in other cities might be paying more for housing and food, and their dollars might not go as far.

Coach Dorrell handled it the way he had to. After I was hurt, he didn't think I was capable of leading his team to victory, and he did what he had to do,

Bad. Little things like not being to get a snap and not being able to cover the deep ball, little things like that we've got to get better at.

I'm trying to handle it like any other game ? stay cool and not make it a big deal.

If our kids see success early, they tend to play up to that success.

I'm kind of the new guy in town. I'm just hoping to follow in both Jonathan and Derek's footsteps.

Not just for me personally, but for our team, ... To never let down, never give up. We came back strong. I think it shows a lot of character from a bunch of guys on this team.

I just threw it up and watched. Mike usually wins those battles.

It's definitely easier this year. The first day, there is always a lot of stuff that we haven't done in a while. There's always stuff to install. But we had meetings, and I started to feel comfortable. Today was a good day. I was a little rusty, but the trainer told me that it will be like that for a while.

As far as numbers go, Jonathan and Derek did what they did here, ... I think people evaluated on their careers, not after two games. After this year or next year, I think I'll be able to make that judgement on myself.

It's not like I got cheated or anything. It's better how it panned out. Ultimately, he got what he wanted and I got what I wanted.

That's the craziest game I've played in my life. The hail, the rain and the game itself. To play on that (hail), it was gnarly. But it was a lot of fun. I'm just happy to come out on top.

That's the difference between the offense clicking this week and not clicking last week. We were in sync tonight, and it was just players making plays. You can't pick out one guy. We had guys catching balls all over the place and spreading it around to people, and when your quarterback is making great decisions, it's a hard offense to stop.

It's a sweet era to be a part of.

We're going to be on a high, our first away game, playing a big-time school like Louisville. We'll be ready. It's going to be loud, and things aren't going to go our way sometimes; we're just going to have to battle.
