The LSU Tigers. The Alabama Crimson Tide. The Michigan Wolverines.
Before the 2023 season, the previous four winners of the Joe Moore Award as the nation’s best offensive line won two national championships (LSU in 2019 and Alabama in 2020) and made two more College Football Playoff appearances (Michigan in 2021 and 2022).
So the Washington Huskies offensive line is unquestionably in good company after winning the award last week over 11 other semifinalists with a matchup against the Texas Longhorns in the College Football Playoff semifinals in New Orleans looming next Monday.
“Washington was on the committee’s radar almost immediately due to their rare combination of physicality and athleticism,” said Aaron Taylor, CBS college football analyst and co-founder of the Joe Moore Award.
