NEVER give up: On the college gridiron, grandad lives a dream, offers a lesson

Montgomery, Alabama (CNN) -- Barring one photo on his desk, Alan Moore's dorm room looks like most others.
Sparsely furnished and 12-by-15 feet, it has cinder block walls and a sole window overlooking the Faulkner University campus. Three pairs of jeans hang from the back of the door near a cooler of soft drinks. A half roll of athletic tape straps a 13-inch TV to the foot of the bed.
On a recent afternoon after class, the place smells like air freshener, perhaps in anticipation of yet another reporter's arrival. A practice football uniform sits crumpled on a chair in the corner. There are no dartboards on the wall, no supermodel posters, no rock 'n' roll icons -- only a Faulkner football schedule.
On Moore's desk, cluttered with pens, paper, a calculator, Bible, thesaurus and a bottle of Advil, the framed photo stands out: It shows a padded-up Moore alongside his five grandkids.
At 61, Moore may seem like an odd fixture on campus, but in many ways, he fits right in. He came here to go to school, to play football.
He's also teaching his teammates that dreams shouldn't die.
The junior kicker wears a rigid, black, square-toed shoe. Across the top are block letters spelling "BELIEVE."
