October 9, 2017 (San Diego) - No. 19/18 San Diego State football’s offensive line has been named to the Joe Moore Award Mid-Season Honor Roll for its performance through six games this season, the Foundation for Teamwork announced today.
The Joe Moore Award Mid-Season Honor Roll includes units that display a high level of toughness, effort, teamwork, consistency, technique and “finishing.” The Voting Subcommittee uses game film and coach submitted cut-ups on The DragonFly Division I Network as the primary OL Unit evaluation tool. Advanced OL data and statistics are provided by STATS LLC, which helps to support the film evaluation process by highlighting key situations and moments over the course of the season.
Despite starting three underclassmen, SDSU’s offensive line has helped the Scarlet and Black average 222.8 rushing yards per game, which ranks 24th in FBS and fourth in the Mountain West. Additionally, San Diego State has thrown just one interception (fifth nationally) and its four lost turnovers rank ninth in FBS. The group’s effort has paved the way for senior running back Rashaad Penny’s highly successful season. Penny is the nation’s leader in all-purpose yards per game (220.83) and he ranks third nationally with 165.50 rushing yards per game.
The Aztecs are one of five programs from a Group of Five school (also No. 25 Navy, Western Michigan, New Mexico and Buffalo) and one of two from the Mountain West (also New Mexico) to appear on the Mid-Season Honor Roll.
Ranked 19th in the latest AP poll and 18th in the Amway Coaches Poll, SDSU is off to its first 6-0 start since 1975. San Diego State has won eight consecutive games, and is 14-2 in its last 16 games and 27-3 in its last 30.
The Aztecs (6-0, 2-0 MW) play host to Boise State (3-2, 1-0 MW) at 7:30 p.m. PT Saturday at SDCCU Stadium.
