What is the story about?

The gas that drives Notre Dame’s offense is its offensive line, as the big guys up front make everything possible.

From left to right on the Irish starting line is Will Black, Anthonie Knapp, Ashton Craig, Sullivan Absher and Guerby Lambert. The five have developed a ton of chemistry this fall, as Knapp moved inside and Black took over at left tackle. The group has performed at a high level this fall, and it was enough for them to be named as semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award.

It’s an honor given out annually to the top offensive line in the country, but hasn’t been around for long. Starting in 2015, Notre Dame was recipients in 2017, and have been in consideration multiple other seasons.

This fall, there’s a good chance for the Irish, with

really only Georgia standing in the way of winning it. If Notre Dame’s offensive line continues to perform at a high level, it very well could win the Moore Award.

The best offensive line in college football 💪
