10/19/2022 2:18:00 PM | Football
Syracuse is one of 22 members of the 2022 Midseason Honor Roll for the Joe Moore Award, which is presented to college football's Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit.
The Orange are off to a 6-0 start and have kept the same starting five linemen for the entirety of the season thus far. A stark contrast from when eight different combinations started a season ago. Redshirt senior Dakota Davis, redshirt juniors Carlos Vettorello and Chris Bleich, junior Matthew Bergeron and sophomore Kalan Ellis comprise the starting unit and have helped Syracuse average 431.7 yards per game. The Orange are averaging 36.0 points per game, which rank fourth in the ACC and 29th in the nation. The unit has not allowed a sack in back-to-back games.
Â
Syracuse is the only ACC school named to the Midseason Honor Roll, which was announced by the Foundation for Teamwork. The voting committee will announce its selection for the Joe Moore Award semifinalists on November 15 and finalists on December 6.
The unit likely faces its toughest test yet vs. No. 5 Clemson on Saturday. The vaunted Tigers' defensive line is heralded as one of the best in college football. Kickoff is scheduled for Noon on ABC.
