Weekly roundup of player profiles

Player profiles come fast a furious this time of year. So I'm going to try to just list them here for those who don't get a chance to read about the Beavs every day. This is some of the more interesting or obscure profiles for about the last week.


Lyle Moevao

Corvallis Gazette-Times :. Big goals in a little body

Yes, he’s short. Yes, he’s nimble. And yes, he possesses a pretty good arm.

Now, compare him to Jonathan Smith and that’s someone he strives to emulate.

The junior college transfer quarterback knows his Oregon State football team history. And he hopes it repeats.

Lyle looked a bit lost in the practices I saw. But he throws well and has some talent. He looks like he could lose a little wieght, but...


Matt Moore

Santa Clarita Valley Signal - One Moore Last Chance

He had to spend the biggest game of his team's season, the "Civil War" rivalry game versus the University of Oregon, brooding on the sidelines.

This was not even close to the way he thought he would be wrapping up the third season of his college football career.

"Arizona and Stanford, those games just sucked and made me so mad," he says. "I don't want to ever have to go through that again."

"I think the sky is the limit for this team," Moore says. "Nobody is expecting us to do anything, but we'll be shooting for the moon and trying to surprise some people this year. Mike Hass was a hall of famer for us, but I think other people will step up and fill the shoes and we'll have a good team."

I like that attitude. That's an attitude Beaver fans can get behind. I mean, the Arizona and Stanford games did suck, didn't they?
