It was a surprising sight, Boise State defensive tackle David Moa’s mugshot following a September arrest.

An unquestioned leader on the Broncos’ defense, Moa was arrested Sept. 16 following an altercation in Downtown Boise.

It was an uncharacteristic act, one that he apologized for publicly Saturday for the first time since. Coaches and teammates have repeatedly noted how it affected him, how seriously he took his actions and how he’s changed.

Moa, for his part, even thinks it affected the team’s next game, an embarrassing 42-23 loss to Virginia at home six days later.
