NEW YORK – The Foundation of Teamwork, which has presented the Joe Moor Award for the Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit in College Football since 2015, has announced Western Michigan as a part of its 22-member 2024 Midseason Honor Roll.
WMU is the lone representative of the Mid-American Conference on the list and one of just five Group of Five teams.
The Joe Moore Award voting committee judges solely on six criteria: toughness, effort, teamwork, consistency, technique, and finishing. Evaluations for the Midseason Honor Roll were made exclusively through weekly review of actual game film, including offensive line coach-provided cut-ups.
WMU's offensive line has helped the Broncos produce 100-yard rushing performances four times on the season, all in the last three games. In those games, Western Michigan has averaged 253.7 yards on the ground.
The group, coached by Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach Trevor Mendelson, has also allowed just 38 pressures on the season, tied for 14th-fewest in the nation.
