Overview

  • Oregon’s sophomore went 29-for-39 for 248 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 30-24 double-overtime victory at then-No. 3 Penn State.
  • Moore is the Week 6 Heisman favorite at major sportsbooks, with odds reported around +600 to +750 across FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM.
  • Through five games he has about 1,210 passing yards with 14 touchdowns against one interception, drawing top billing in USA TODAY’s weekly quarterback rankings.
  • Head coach Dan Lanning highlighted Moore’s buy-in and composure after the win, telling him “I love you” in praise of his leadership and work.
  • Draft buzz includes Mel Kiper Jr. touting No. 1-pick potential in 2026 if production holds, while The Athletic reports Moore’s camp is in no rush to jump to the NFL, with Oregon idle before hosting No. 8 Indiana on Oct. 11 as Miami–Florida State looms elsewhere in Week 6.
