In two short seasons at Marshall, Moss is considered one of the greatest receivers to play college football. Moss owns virtually every school, conference and NCAA game and season record. His 53 touchdown receptions shattered the school career-record of 26 set by Mike Barber (1985-88). He ranks third in Thundering Herd annals with 174 receptions and second with 3,529 yards, topped only by Barber (4,262).
