I like how he has never critisized his HS coach for his problems. The coach could have handled it differently without blackballing CM8. But he took responsibility and moved on. He will be a better person for it. And I think UofA will benefit from it as well. I really like this guys demeanor. I also believe that winners find ways to win....and CM8 has won big at every stop.

This is the quote that sticks out to me.

“Clayton has a knack for two things,” Ianello told the Akron Beacon Journal. “One, making big plays to keep things going. Two, for making bonehead plays to stop things from going. He has to eliminate (No. 2).”

I hope LR8 has number two worked out before Saturday. That secondary in Columbus has a lot of athletes that can take you out of a game quickly.

More on Moore from EA

When junior-college transfer Clayton Moore was anointed as the starter, beginning with Saturday's game at Ohio State, the key word again was leader. Ianello said that's what has separated Moore in the battle with two-year starter Patrick Nicely.

Sometimes it is a popularity contest, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. If that popularity contest means your teammates have rallied behind you and are going to play their ass off for you, I'm all for it.

Cant WAIT to see CM8 get in an argument with COACH I on the sidlines, If he showed disrespect for a Coach who got them to the playoffs how will he hande a coach who cant tie his shoes.... I NEVER saw NICELY loose his cool despite all the stupid play calling we had to put up with last season. We will see how this plays out...Same BAT TIME SAME BAT CHANNEL..opps thats BATMAN not THE LONE RANGER

Reading his story from high school reminds me of the story of Stefan Georgevic from Ampipe High school.

He disagreed with the coach and got labeled a black sheep.

My dad grew up in Ambridge, PA, so I always got a kick out of that. But I'm REALLY gonna be pissed if CM8 is only 5'7"

I wondered if anyone would catch that. Old movie and I know I spelled names wrong.

Believe it or not, other than Top Gun, that is my favorite Cruise movie.

"WE didn't quit! YOU quit!" Wonder how much Zach would pay to see that played out here.

Bringing this thread back on topic (for D.I.G.). I don't know how LR8 will produce as a QB on the field, but I would suspect his sideline arguments with the coach are over. He chose to come here and play for this coach. His road here seems long and he seems grateful. BTW I think I saw a 4 time super bowl HOF QB argue with his coach once or twice on the sideline. PN7 needs to keep his head up and continue to work hard, his opportunity will come.

I can confirm that Terry Bradshaw was one hard-headed player who was totally focused on winning in both his college and professional careers. So Moore may, indeed, have some similarities. Playing on the edge can produce spectacular results, both good and bad. When you push the envelope, you occassionally cross the line.

I remember watching Bradshaw run in college when he was flushed out of the pocket. He did not try to avoid defensive players, but tried to run over them. He actually broke a few defensive players' bones in college when he flattened them. Moore's HS coach was once quoted as saying that Moore sometimes thinks he's a fullback who tries to run over defensive players.

No one really knows all the details that led up to Moore's HS coach dismissing him from the team in the middle of a game. The one thing from that incident that I like about Moore is the way he reacted in his public comments in the immediate aftermath of being dismissed from the team a week before the championship game. He was a true team player who wanted to keep the focus on his team and not on himself:

“This week isn’t about me. It's about the Louisville Wildcats. They have a big game with Tylertown. I'm going to try to cause as least a distraction as possible. It’s definitely unfortunate. I wish my teammates the best. I was wrong for what I did. But there are two sides to every story and people aren't always as guilty as they seem.”
