Michigan Not Among Joe Moore Award Finalists

What about the Dante Moore award finalists?

Yeah. We really struggled in both pass pro and on the ground. Blake’s numbers highlight that. I still don’t know what the deal is with The Don. 
 

I’m actually more concerned about the o-line than any other unit going into the playoffs

Michigan is far from deserving this year, with how the pass protection and run game have faltered. Hope we can step it up for the Rose Bowl!

The preseason prediction that we would not win the Joe Moore award because they wouldn't give it to someone 3x in a row was correct, but directionally incorrect 

O Line coach was slacking this year.

Can his ass.

Look what the CFP committee started. Zak Zinter goes down and the Moore Award people disqualify Michigan.

Maybe the OL coach was busy doing other things!

Makes sense. They shouldn't be this year.

Not surprised after watching the season, but very surprised given the preseason expectations

Definitely don't deserve it this year. I'm a little confused by Washington and LSU's inclusion, but alas. 

Not a surprise they aren't going to win but also not the biggest concern in the world.  It's been an okay offensive line year but considering only one of those 4 teams is playing for a title (and the one, Washington, has the lowest odds of winning said title) I'll take missing this list if it improves UM's chances of taking home bigger hardware.

Even if they were really good this year, there was almost no way they were going to win it a third year in a row. They would've had to be so absurdly dominant that it truly didn't make any sense to give it to anyone else. 

The OL was good this year, but it definitely took a step back from where it was. 

so here's a question - is there a similar award for defensive lines?  i'd never heard of the joe moore award until we won it, maybe that's why i'd not heard of a defensive line version...

Makes sense.  They are a good not great O-line, definitely a step down from the last couple years.

Hopefully lights a fire under their ass to be great for the last 2 games of the season.

Based on run game performance this year, i wouldn't have expected them to be.  Pass protection was generally pretty good, but fell of at the end of the year.

the unit helped win 12 games but they werent worthy of the award this year, or even finalist nomination

Don’t care, beat bama

I don't have any opinion on the finalists, but I agree that Michigan doesn't deserve to be among them this year. The running game has been extremely inconsistent all year, and we've seen pass protection issues against teams with competent edge rushers like Purdue and PSU. I don't know what the cause is, but the results aren't Joe Moore-worthy.

You can watch the highlights from 2021 and 2022 osu games and our O lines just plow through the opposition opening huge holes. Didnt see much like that this year

I honestly do not think many are surprised by this.  The OL is still good, not elite like it had been the previous 2 years. A couple of guys set the unit back. 

Oline was average at best for the majority of the season

I'll trade the Joe Moore award for a 2-0 start in calendar year '24.

It was a heck of a run, but figured they wouldn't make it 3 straight. Not sure why they weren't as good this year as the past two with so much returning and such a weak B1G.

Any of those national awards we won’t be in on

Not worthy of being a finalist, but still an absolutely elite unit. 

Good. Who cares about the awards? Just go win the CFP and I think we’ll be OK.

Why did you think we were among the best 4 OLs in the country again?

Fire Sherron Moore? 

I don’t blame the committee. If Cade or McCord was our qb the line would have got them killed. Lots of work to do before new yrs eve.
