Ducks' WR Dakorien Moore Making the Win Over Ohio State Count Even More

The Oregon Ducks showed a lot of resolve on Saturday afternoon inside Ohio Stadium. After getting down early, they responded by thoroughly beating the Buckeyes up and down the field for what turned into a total beatdown in Columbus.

Oregon won in all phases of the football game, and then after the game, wide receiver Dakorien Moore made it count even more. 

After the game ended, a video surfaced with Moore surrounded by all of Ohio State's recruits on the field. The Buckeyes' recruits were dapping up Moore, asking him for pictures and videos, and of course, Moore wasn't going to let the moment go to waste.

In the postgame press conference, Moore was asked what he was saying to those players, and with a laugh, he said that they know the right thing to do. They need to flip their recruitments to Oregon. 

While it was obviously more of a funny moment than anything else, it is still the way of the world in this era of College Football. Since there are no repercussions for players for moving or breaking commitments, it is stuff like this that becomes incredibly impactful for a program.

These young kids are so impressionable that games like yesterday's and moments like that after a game can become a big time deal.

For the current state of the Ducks, yesterday was such a major positive for the program. This year has been a complete disaster for the Ducks, but they had a chance to get all of their negatives corrected, and they did. 

When all of their wide receivers got into trouble off the field a couple of weeks ago, that felt like the rock-bottom point for this team. That same player who was doing some extra recruiting for the Ducks on Saturday was the one who went to prison to bail out his teammates who got into trouble.

It's moments like that from the strongest character players on a team that help make games like Ohio State's possible.

Going forward, the Ducks have a ton to play for still. I'd be willing to guess that on Saturday, they will be back in the AP Poll, and on Tuesday, when the College Football Playoff rankings come out, they will likely be between spots 15 and 18. They still have work to do, but if they win out, they just might make the Playoff.

It was a perfect day for Oregon in Columbus, Ohio, and the Ducks are making it all count even beyond the field.
