Oregon QB Dante Moore's Heisman Trophy odds after career day

Week 1 in college football was one of fireworks on the scoreboard and eye-popping stat lines, with nearly all of the projected Heisman Trophy candidates showing out.

There was the Miami Hurricanes duo of quarterback Darian Mensah and wide receiver Malachi Toney on Friday night, toying with a Stanford Cardinal defense at the same time that USC Trojans quarterback Jayden Maiava was picking apart the Fresno State Bulldogs' defense at LA Memorial Coliseum — in front of a bit more fans than last week.

The elite performances continued on Saturday, as Ohio State Buckeyes' Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith diced up the Ball State Cardinals and LSU Tigers' Sam Leavitt ran all around a helpless Clemson Tigers defense. Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore was right there with them, helping lead a come-from-behind victory over the Boise State Broncos in which he threw for a career-high in passing yards.

For Moore, his showing leaves a bit of conundrum, as the Ducks struggled mightily for much of the game and eked out a win over the unranked Broncos. But he had arguably the best game of his career, and Oregon needed every one of his yards to get the win.

Where does it leaves the Ducks' signal-caller in the post-Week 1 Heisman Trophy odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook? Let's check it out.
