Coach Moorhead is vital to the success of the No. 3 ranked Oregon football team, and that has become extremely evident this season. Moorhead directs one of the most dynamic offenses in the nation, and the Ducks’ only loss of the season came on a day where he was absent after having to undergo emergency surgery on the morning of the game. Moorhead returned to the team the next week and got back to work despite significant medical issues, and the Ducks are undefeated since and in the thick of the College Football Playoff conversation. He has also gotten the most out of an offense that has suffered significant injuries, including a season-ending injury to lead running back and potential Heisman candidate CJ Verdell as well as long-term injuries to each of its top two centers.
