Tennessee Vols backup quarterback Gaston Moore went semi-viral this week thanks to his strong resemblance to "Shooter McGavin" from the 1996 comedy Happy Gilmore

I mean, the resemblance is almost uncanny. 

The resemblance is so strong that Moore could play the son of McGavin in the Happy Gilmore sequel (which just started production) if he was asked, though I'm not sure how good the Hilton Head native's acting chops are. 

For now, though, Moore is the No. 2 quarterback in Josh Heupel's offense. And he'll be in uniform on Saturday night in Knoxville when Tennessee hosts Kent State in a "tune-up game" before a huge showdown in Norman with the Oklahoma Sooners.
