Dante Moore is a star who shines brighter every time he gets on the field. The Oregon Ducks quarterback played with pinpoint accuracy against Minnesota, throwing for 306 yards and two touchdowns, all while completing 90 percent of his passes. Once Moore helped lead the Ducks to a 42-13 lead, he was taken out of the game early for a much-deserved rest.

Moore's first touchdown came on a beautiful throw to Kenyon Sadiq. Plenty of NFL scouts were in attendance for the game tonight, and they all got a great look at Oregon's two stars. Moore and the Ducks' offense were heavily supported by the run game, with four of Oregon's touchdowns coming on the ground. But, as great QBs do, Dante Moore continued to set the table.

His second touchdown was a controversial but incredible touchdown pass to Jeremiah McClellan. His only real mistake was tripping on a first-down run and fumbling in the fourth quarter, but that proved not to harm the Ducks, as he recovered and shared a laugh about it with his teammates. In fact, that same drive ended in a touchdown by Jay Harris.

This season, Moore has thrown for a total of 1,884 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions. Throwing the ball 30 times and completing 27 of those times is impressive in its own right, but going for 306 yards with a rating of 197.7 was insane. How could you not be impressed with this guy?

Moore once again showed he can make all the throws. Last week, it was the laser pass to Malik Benson that left the world in awe. Today, the dots to Sadiq and McClellan shine. Moore was calm under pressure and delivered multiple passes with an unsteady pocket. As Moore played nearly perfectly, the Ducks beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers 42-13 to advance to a 9-1 record. Next up, they will face the current No. 17 USC Trojans in a game with major playoff implications.
