UCLA Football: Dante Moore Shares Heartfelt Moment with Young Bruins Fan Following Win
Dante Moore had himself quite the night in UCLA's 35-10 over San Diego State University on Saturday as he connected on 17 out of his 27 passes en route to three touchdowns, including an incredible 81-yard dart that landed perfectly in the hands of WR Josiah Norwood.
The talk around town following the Bruins' second-straight victory this season is that the freshman QB has shown exactly why he should be the starting quarterback. However, we know that head coach Chip Kelly always likes to see more out of his guys and keep them on their toes in situations like this so he confirmed that despite him loving Moore's play, no decision has been made just yet.
Nonetheless, Moore was nothing but proud of his team after the game and made time to answer a number of questions from the media and address a number of fans. One heartfelt moment that soon went viral on Twitter following UCLA's victory was when Moore went up to a young fan in the stands and exchanged conversation along with his game-worn glove.
Have a look for yourself!
Moore spoke on the heartfelt exchange and revealed that seeing the child in the stands reminded him of himself at a young age when he had a similar encounter with one of his favorite players.
“I know what that feeling is,” Moore said, “and I always want to make sure the people around me have that same feeling that I had when I was a kid.”
