Since the trophy’s introduction in 2015, only one program had won the Joe Moore Award twice, and none of the prior winners had defended their crowns the following year.
In 2022, the Michigan Wolverines changed that — building on their victory the previous year while also forging their own legacy that’ll be long remembered in Ann Arbor.
The remarkable thing for 2022’s group of offensive linemen was their ability to never appear a man down, even in the face of multiple injuries. In contrast to 2021, which saw really only one combination of starters in the trenches for Michigan, 2022 saw a whopping six starting combinations in Michigan’s 14-game tally.
