Moerschell is the last Texas quarterback to go undefeated as a starter over his entire career and one of the school's top ten punt returners of all time.
He was all-district and the offensive player of the year at the district, greater Dallas and North Texas levels.
In 1983, he was set to be the backup quarterback again, but starter Todd Dodge suffered a shoulder injury in scrimmage shortly before the season opener, giving Moerschell the start against Auburn.
[6] McIvor quarterbacked the Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl that year, when a win would have likely secured them a National Championship, but a muffed punt return gave Georgia the opportunity it needed to score the game-winning touchdown.
[7] In his senior year, Moerschell was featured on the cover of Athlon's 1984 Annual Southwest Football preview, however he would not play much that season.
Later in the season, Coach Fred Akers did consider moving him back to quarterback when Dodge was injured in the Rice game.
