In 2006, Mozes won the Rimington Trophy, presented annually to college football’s top center. He was a unanimous choice for the award after helping the Mountaineers to an 11-2 record and a victory over Georgia Tech in the 2007 Toyota Gator Bowl. West Virginia that season finished second in the country in rushing (303 ypg.), third in scoring (38.9 ppg.) and fifth in total offense (461.4 ypg.).
