Mike Moore ranks as one of the finest running backs in Blue Raider football history. Recruited as a result of his tremendous showing in the Tennessee High School All-Star game in 1974, he rushed for more than 1,000 yards in three of his four varsity seasons.

Moore's career total of 3,678 yards is the second-best in MTSU history; he has two of the top six single-season rushing totals for blue Raider backs—his 1,247 yards in 1975 is ranked No. 4 on the all-time list and his 1,188 yards in 1976 is No. 6. Moore was also the most durable back in Blue Raider history, with 807 carries in his four years, and he holds the record for most carries in both single game (38) and single season (296).

Moore was an All-American in 1976 and the OVC's Offensive Player of the Year in 1975. He was a first-team All-OVC selection for each of his final three seasons of play. He rushed for more than 200 yards in a single game twice and for more than 100 yards 13 times.
