The Joe Moore Award is presented annually to the nation's top offensive line unit. Alabama is joined on the semifinalist list by Clemson, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.
The award is named after Joe Moore, widely regarded as one of the best offensive line coaches in college football history and is the only major college football award to honor a unit. The award annually recognizes the nation's most outstanding offensive line unit that best displays toughness, effort, teamwork, physicality, tone setting and finishing. Alabama previously won the award in 2015 in its first year of existence. Finalists for this year's award will be announced Dec. 10.
