Sherrone Moore radio show notes

11/09/2024 02:23:56 PM

Notes from Sherrone Moore’s radio interview with Doug Karsch:
• On the importance of pressuring Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke: “That’ll be huge. Anticipate them trying to get the ball out fast, not trying to hold onto the ball because they know the D-line is good.
• On Davis Warren against Oregon: “Really saw him take the next step. Really play within the offense, play within what he can do and take care of the football.”
• On Colston Loveland: He’s played as good as you can ask, playing the right way and continue to play the right way.”
• On a wide receiver that could step up today: “I’m excited for the whole room. A guy like Semaj Morgan, he gets his touches here and there but look for some more stuff for him down the field.”
