00:00 the game.
00:03 Dante Moore in an age Joe
00:07 where everybody leaves to go get
00:08 a starting job. He just left to
00:10 make sure he he has no chance
00:12 to beat out Dylan Gabriel. No
00:13 no. For the job and I don't
00:14 think he thinks he has a chance
00:15 to beat him out for the job.
00:16 No he needs 2 years to sit.
00:17 Let's be honest. That
00:18 performance this year I mean he
00:20 struggled considerably.
00:22 Couldn't read coverage.
00:23 Turnover prone. Cost them the
00:25 game. Single handedly against
00:27 Oregon State with two pick
00:28 up in that ballgame. You think
00:30 though that he could. But that's
00:32 do you think that he is
00:33 self-aware enough to say I need
00:34 a year off because that for me
00:36 is a great sign for the kid. No.
00:38 To go from playing. He was a
00:40 starter for UCLA and is now
00:42 signing up to be a backup. No I
00:44 don't think that he took it upon
00:46 himself to say I need a couple
00:47 of years. I think he wanted to
00:49 go where potentially he can win
00:51 a national championship. It
00:52 wasn't going to happen at UCLA
00:54 based off of what he saw based
00:56 off of what he saw. And he
00:58 bashed the coaches. He said the
01:00 coaches hurt his development.
01:02 So when you saw Bo Nix and the
01:05 progression that Bo Nix has made
01:07 and seen Dan Lanning in terms of
01:09 what he's built there I think he
01:11 bought into the program more as
01:13 him in terms of taking
01:15 accountability and said you know
01:17 what I had an inconsistent year.
01:18 I need to work on it. So that's
01:20 my question. When you look at
01:22 Dante Moore that was one of the
01:24 Achilles of why he was
01:26 surprisingly leaving UCLA. He
01:28 did not feel to be ready for the
01:30 next level. He was getting
01:31 properly developed in Westwood.
01:33 So maybe he is taking a step
01:35 back and saying it is key for my
01:37 development to be in a place
01:39 under Will Stein the very
01:41 talented offensive coordinator
01:42 up in Eugene behind Dylan
01:44 Gabriel to take this year
01:46 develop and get better to lead
01:47 Oregon beyond.
01:48 We'll be right back.
01:49 (upbeat music)
