Spring games in college football are a great way for young players and transfers to impress the coaching staff. The Oregon Ducks held their annual spring game Saturday afternoon and a bunch of players flashed off the screen. However, there can only be one MVP and that honor goes to quarterback Luke Moga .
The redshirt freshman showed incredible poise in the pocket while completing 6 of 13 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown against a fierce pass rush while also encountering drops by his receivers.
When blitzes were thrown his way, Moga displayed amazing mobility by scrambling outside the pocket and breaking down the defense.
Moga had two carries for 11 yards, but arguably his best play was one that did not count. In the second quarter, quick pressure up the middle forced the young quarterback to take off. To prevent injuries in an exhibition setting, plays are blown dead once the defense lays a hand on the quarterback.
The whistle sounded as Moga was bursting through the line of scrimmage. Had the play occurred during the season, it likely would have resulted in a touchdown or at the very least a huge gain.
Moga also showed an impressive deep ball. Though not all connected, he had great touch and length on the throws. There was a jaw-dropping throw to wide receiver Dillon Gresham over the middle for a 56-yard touchdown.
All in all, Moga had a great game, and he showed he definitely has a hand to play in the quarterback competition for the Ducks this offseason.
