"Every morning I go to hang my coat up, I open the door and see Joe -- and my upper lip starts to sweat," says Moos, recalling some particularly challenging days of playing offensive line at Washington State in 1972, when Tiller was his position coach.
He remembers when college teams had as many as 20 hard-hitting, full-pad spring practices that were essentially designed to thin the roster. This was during an era of freshman teams and no scholarship limits. His freshman class at Washington State began with 56 players, but was whittled to eight by the time he graduated.
