True2tRA Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but Riley had some pretty high praise for Alonzo Moore in his press conference. I have high praise for Alonzo this season as well. We heard all about this guys' playmaking capabilities, and now we are seeing them. Alonzo looks great in the passing game and I have especially like what he's done on those speed sweeps. Seems like he's good for ten yards every time he gets a carry. His hands have improved drastically. Here's an article: http://nebraska.247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-wide-receiver-Alonzo-Moore-is-having-a-solid-year-40419463 Head coach Mike Riley said Moore’s work ethic has allowed him to have the success he’s enjoying this season. “He is just a football player,” Riley said of Moore. “I think what he’s done, we didn’t do anything for him because he’s a hard worker, he’s a good guy, he’s just a football player. All we had to do was teach him. He’s a great learner, he’s totally engaged, he’ll do anything you want him to do. “He has started on all four special teams. He’ll run the ball. He’ll catch it. He’s ready. Alonzo is always ready because he practices well. You can do a lot with a guy like that. I really have a lot of respect for a guy like that. That was all inherent with him. We just had to teach him what the name of the plays were.” Hard work paying off for Moore. Good to see it. The future is bright for this guy. He's developing as an all around threat in every aspect of our offense. 4 Quote Link to comment
GOAT Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I saw Alonzo play in HS, and he was electric. I was really surprised that LSU didn't grab him, but I think their class was already full and they didn't have room. Oh well... their loss is our gain! Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 good to see our guys begin to develop....it takes time, those who are dedicated to getting better will play more and be productive. 1 Quote Link to comment

He's developing as an all around threat in every aspect of our offense. I have to spill the beans here. I was not a fan of his play in previous seasons. The routes were meh at times, and then there were the drops. This year, however, he has played very well. So well that I am confident when he is on the field. Big plays, tough catches, nice runs and good blocks. Almost weekly he makes a good play out on the field. I'm proud of Alonzo. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Moore was the only wide receiver who really looked like a wide receiver, but his play never matched his NFL look. So I wrote him off, because everyone else was really stepping up. If he's finally coming into his own, we really are crazy deep at wide receiver the next two years. 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Moore is 2nd in the B1G with 5 TD catches. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Husker receiver Moore becoming complete package 9 hours ago • By STEVEN M. SIPPLE | LINCOLN JOURNAL STAR Nebraska receiver Alonzo Moore readily admits it. In high school, he didn't block. He played the skill positions — quarterback, running back, receiver. Blocking was for other people, he said. Teammate Trey Gilbert, the star running back at Winnfield (Louisiana) High, apparently wasn't pleased that Moore didn't block — wasn't pleased then, and perhaps is still a tad peeved, Moore said with a smile this week. LINK A pretty good LJS article about Moore. He really has been coming on these past few weeks. Has some nice numbers so far this year. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Most improved player . . . ever? Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Most improved player . . . ever? It is pretty amazing. He dropped passes more consistently than Niles Paul before this season. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He has made some big plays the last couple games. I'm still waiting to see a fly sweep reversal by DPE and Moore. Make it happen! Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He's come so far, it's been great to see! Quote Link to comment

Or that he's ready to go to Mars. Today's helmets are too big for their body's. Run a 4.5 but once the helmet goes on, it's at least 4.9 LOL Quote Link to comment

Just look at the rest of the pads. They get smaller and smaller. Quote Link to comment
