Offensive Line Honored at Midseason
10/22/19 | Football
EUGENE, Ore. – For the third consecutive season, the Oregon offensive line is on the Midseason Honor Roll for the Joe Moore Award, which recognizes the nation's most outstanding offensive line unit in college football.
The Ducks' unit is one of just 24 O-lines to make the list, as well as just one of two from the Pac-12 Conference. Oregon's line boasts a national-best 188-combined starts along the offensive line with the same five players – LT Penei Sewell, LG Shane Lemieux, C Jake Hanson, RG Dallas Warmack, RT Calvin Throckmorton – starting six of Oregon's seven games.
Heading into this weekend's game against Washington State, Oregon ranks second in the Pac-12 Conference in scoring offense (35.9), third in rushing offense (173.57) and third in passing offense (283.57). The Ducks lead the Pac-12 with three performances of 200 yards rushing and 200 yards passing in the same game. UO has rushed for 200 yards three times this season, good for the second most in the Pac-12.
