Congrats to the Cincinnati Bearcats offensive line getting some love.
Per GoBearcats:
The University of Cincinnati football offensive line was tabbed as one of 22 members of the 2020 Joe Moore Award midseason watch list, The Foundation for Teamwork announced Monday.
The award has been presented annually to the most outstanding offensive line unit in college football since 2015.
The Joe Moore Award voting committee judges on six criteria that historically proven to distinguish winning O-line play: toughness, effort, teamwork, consistency, technique, and finishing. Evaluations for the midseason honor roll were made solely through weekly review of actual game film and offensive line coach-provided cut-ups on XOS Thundercloud.
Under the direction of OL coach Ron Crook, the Bearcats have started the same five, LT James Hudson, LG Dylan O’Quinn, C Jake Renfro, RG Vincent McConnell and RT Darius Harper, in the past five games as UC has played some of their best offensive football of the season, rushing for an average of 268.0 yards on the ground, 519.4 of total offense and surrendering only five sacks.
UC has averaged 5.9 yards per carry this season and currently leads the American in rushing offense, grinding up 234.2 yards per game on the ground. The offensive line starts a true freshmen in Renfro and has allowed just nine sacks, fewest in the American Athletic Conference.
