Auburn’s offensive line, as a collective unit, just wrapped up a very strong regular season.
Not only did Pro Football Focus rank the Tigers as the No. 2 best o-line in the nation for 2016, but the big hefties are also semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award for the “Most Outstanding Offensive Line Unit.”
It was a proud moment for offensive line coach Herb Hand, who took to Twitter to recognize his group for their stellar efforts this season:
Incredibly blessed to work w/ these guys daily. @JoeMooreAward semi-finalists & @PFF_College's 2nd ranked UNIT.#TheMenInTheArena #WhosNext pic.twitter.com/oy9gR8N9u6
