He had a great game at Cal in a 2OT loss, and led us to a home win over Stanford.

Wasn't he the one "dating" Pettibone's underage daughter?

Shanda was a freshman at Oklahoma in 1997. Moran was a freshman at OSU in 1996. So if this were true, a college freshman was dating a high school senior. Scandalous.

The three-year bubble would apply. The last that I checked, in Oregon, women are only "underage," if they are more than three years younger than the man. (The reverse is true, as well, but is not what is being discussed here.)

Stephen David Moran was born in Glendale. His father, Steve, was the head coach at Bradshaw Mountain High School in Prescott Valley, Arizona. And his mother also worked for the school.
Moran was supposed to redshirt in 1996, but Tim Alexander suffered a separated shoulder against Baylor and missed the next four games. Rahim Muhammad was knocked out of the Cal game with a quad contusion and would miss the next two weeks. Moran entered in the early third quarter and played the rest of the game. Oregon State fell behind 35-21 but Moran led an 80-yard drive to pull within seven, Akili King scoring from one yard out. After a 59-yard Robert Ruff interception return down to the 14, DeShawn Williams threw a halfback pass to Moran, and Randy Lund's extra point tied the game at 35. The game went to overtime, Oregon State's first ever overtime game. The Bears won the toss. The Beavs drove for a touchdown, King in from one yard out. Cal tied it up at 42. After failing to score, Oregon State could have won with a score. The Beavs drove down to the three. On third down, Pettibone stupidly attempted a field goal with a backup holder, Brandon Reynolds, because of an injury to Gabe Schmidtke earlier in the game. The snap was bad, and Reynolds did not handle it well. Lund's field goal was blocked and returned 71 yards before Darron Kirkman was able to run Kato Serwanga out of bounds. Lund's 49-yard field goal in the third overtime was short. And Cal punched it in for a touchdown and 48-42 win.
Moran started the Wazzu and Stanford games, Oregon State winning 26-12 over Stanford, the Beavs' only Pac-10 win between 1994 and 1998. Moran passed and ran for a touchdown in the game, the pass putting Oregon State ahead for good in the second quarter 19-12. Moran started against Arizona but lost 33-7. Alexander returned for Arizona State. Moran played against Washington in Game 9 and Northern Illinois in Game 10, Moran scoring the final touchdown to make the final score 67-28.
Moran was expected to be the backup in 1997 but bruised his shoulder in fall camp and redshirted. Moran was converted into a cornerback in 1998 but did not play in a game.

Damn....this sucks, and hits kind of home. I remember David Moran well. I guess as we get older we have to get more accustomed to this type of news. We've lost a lot of Beaver players too young. I recall vividly, as I was at the Cal game in 1996, as Moran came in as a hopeful freshman out of Arizona as I recall.....he played his ass off, was scrappy, and if Pettibone hadn't made a bonehead decision to kick the field goal on 3rd down at the end of the game with a back up holder as Akili King was grinding out yards like no one's business, we win the game.
I also recall sitting just in front of and below Moran's parents....they were so excited when he entered the game, and I think they liked how excited we were to see him do well also. Me and BeavaBleeda were just 24 or 25 at the time, so a few years older.
Anyhow, sad to hear this news. I'm 52 now, and knock on wood, pretty healthy, but we never know how much time we have. Take care of yourselves my message board fan brothers....remember, this is only a game. And we're just fans of it. Enjoy each day, remember the important stuff,and we can't get too lost in the petty bs. Go Beavs. RIP David Moran.

Randy Lund's older brother, Sam, was shot to death in Burbank, California, a couple of months before Lund went to Oregon State. Lund strained a muscle in his leg in fall camp and redshirted. During the season, he was one of two athletes that went to New York City to be awarded a National Football Foundation Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Award, one of two to be so honored at the banquet.
In 1994, Lund made his first six field goals, all 45 yards or shorter. He missed his seventh from 46 against Wazzu. Six missed extra points, but none ever was the difference in the game. Lund's season long was in the 44-31 win over Wyoming, 45 yards. Lund scored six of the 44 points, a career high, which he would tie three times. Lund kicked two extra points and kicked a 34-yard field goal to turn a four-point game into a 23-14 win in the Rose Bowl in an upset over the defending Pac-10 Champion Bruins. Lund also kicked three extra points and a 30-yard field goal to turn a six-point game into a 24-12 win over Pacific, Oregon State's final win over Pacific. Lund finished with the highest conversion rate on field goals in the Pac-10. And Lund was the second highest-scoring Beaver
In 1995, Lund had a great Spring, but he missed his first three field goals against Pacific. Lund kicked a 41-yarder in the third quarter to pull within 10-3. But Pacific scored 13 straight in the fourth quarter to go up 23-3. Tim Alexander scored a touchdown with 55 seconds left to pull within 23-10, but Oregon State got no closer. Pacific netted its biggest win in its final season with a football program.
Lund missed an extra point and two field goals against North Texas. Oregon State still should have won but gave up a safety, North Texas' second safety of the second half, and two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the final touchdown with nine seconds left, to blow a 27-16 fourth quarter lead.
Before the Cal game, a 300-pound lineman attacked Benny Beaver. On Oregon State's first offensive play, Tim Alexander and J.D. Stewart combined to fumble. Cal drove 47 yards on 11 plays and two offsides penalties to go up 6-0. Ryan Longwell missed the extra point, kicking the ball off the right upright. Stewart broke off a 49-yard run down to the three. Three plays later, Cam Reynolds scored a touchdown to knot the game at six. Lund's extra point was blocked. Lund attempted three field goals in the second quarter. Lund converted the 36- and 38-yard field goals, but missed the 27-yard field goal. 12-6 at halftime. Cal drove 74 yards on 11 plays in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 12 with 6:40 left. Pat Barnes ran it in from two yards out and then was called for taunting. Pettibone elected to push the extra point out 15 yards, but Longwell converted the 35-yard extra point to win 13-12. Tom Holmes made jokes about Oregon State clinching a 25th consecutive losing season after the game. Despite three fumbles, including the one on the first play of the game, Pettibone blamed the loss almost completely on Lund missing the 27-yard field goal in the second quarter.
In the Civil War, Oregon State was up 10-6 with 5½ minutes left in the third quarter. Kenny Wheaton blocked Lund's 38-yard field goal. Oregon kicked two field goals in a three-minute span in the fourth quarter to salvage a 12-10 win. The Ducks' win clinched them a Cotton Bowl berth. Pettibone again singled out the blocked field goal as the key moment in the game.
In the offseason Pettibone signed Junior College All-American and future Pro Bowler, Matt Bryant. Bryant walked out of Spring ball with the job basically in hand. But Bryant transferred to Baylor without ever playing a down. Lund won the starting job to start the 1996 season.
Against Cal, Lund had a 41-yard field goal blocked in regulation. In the second overtime, Pettibone stupidly attempted a field goal with a backup holder, Brandon Reynolds, because of an injury to Gabe Schmidtke earlier in the game. The snap was bad, and Reynolds did not handle it well. Lund's field goal was blocked and returned 71 yards before Darron Kirkman was able to run Kato Serwanga out of bounds. Lund's 49-yard field goal in the third overtime was short. And Cal punched it in for a touchdown and 48-42 win.
not fall-on.
Lund started the Stanford game but missed the first extra point. After that miss, Pettibone benched Lund in favor of Stuckey on everything but kickoffs.
Riley recruited José Cortez to kick, and Cortez beat out Lund in 1997.
Lund appears to be a great guy and has done well for himself since.
Also, to try and bring the beginning back around, I note that Geret or Randy (and I am not sure which) named their boy, Sam after their murdered brother.
No Alexis Serna but still a great Beaver.
