Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has become a hot pick for the next head coach of the New Orleans Saints and it turns out that he has some interesting history with the team’s franchise quarterback.
Saints fan @FreakyPeezy on social media pulled out a gem of a box score that shows a Moore-led Boise State Broncos team defeating Derek Carr’s Fresno State Bulldogs in a 57-7 blowout back in 2011.
Moore, 36, was a legendary Mountain West quarterback not that long ago. While he didn’t stick under center in the NFL, he was a great college passer. He had a great day against the Bulldogs, going 23-for-41 with 254 yards and three touchdowns. It was during his senior year.
This was during Carr’s redshirt sophomore season and he was clearly still going through growing pains. It didn’t help that the Broncos were an undefeated top-five team while Fresno State was sub-.500. He did not has as nice of a statistic day, completing just 17-of-30 passes for 126 yards and an interception. All things considered, many would say that it was actually the worst game of his college career.
