By Dan Morrison, On3 Sports: There are White Out conditions in Happy Valley this weekend for a rematch of last season’s Big Ten Championship Game between the Oregon Ducks and Penn State Nittany Lions. There, Penn State head coach James Franklin needs to prepare for a new challenge on the offensive side of the ball with Dante Moore in place of Dillon Gabriel at quarterback for the Ducks.
Ahead of their matchup, Franklin broke down the differences between the two quarterbacks. He also took some time to praise how Moore has handled himself throughout his college career.
“I don’t think it’s a whole lot different,” James Franklin said. “He’s a throw-first guy. Very accurate, can extend plays. Obviously, has a ton of playmakers around him. They both had the ability to extend plays. I would say that Dante runs a little bit more. You know, runs a little bit more than maybe they had in the past. But the other guy was a really good athlete as well. So, I think it’s still very similar.”
