Found August 21, 2008 on broncosports.com:
"In the end, it came down to gut feelings and instincts - both Chris Petersen's and Kellen Moore's.Petersen, Boise State's head football coach, said it was intuition and simply having a hunch as much as anything that led to his and offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin's decision to name Moore, a redshirt freshman from Prosser, Wash., as the Broncos' starting quarterback." (Source: BroncoSports.com) (Photo courtesy of the Idaho Statesman). I've recently moved away from Boise for work, but I follow the broncos religiously, and for me this is exciting. While don't get me wrong, Taylor Tharp did an outstanding job last year, but I have a feeling the next 4 seasons are going to get better and better. Perhaps even another BCS ring in the near future. I would love to see this kid play live, but I'll have to rely broncosports.com on the web and ESPN for as my source for blue and orange hoopla. The downside to the freshman quarterback in my opinion, lack of experience, but then I look at everyone on the squad and if Coach Pete says he's the guy, who am I to cast doubt. He must be an amazing talent. Let's see what he can do. I'm really interested in seeing how the coaching staff adjusts the offensive line for the left handed QB and how opposing coaches will scheme their defenses.
