Notre Dame among a few teams named semifinalist for top OL award

The gas that drives Notre Dame’s offense is its offensive line , as the big guys up front make everything possible. From left to right on the Irish starting line is Will Black, Anthonie Knapp, Ashton Craig, Sullivan Absher and Guerby Lambert. The five have developed a ton of chemistry this fall, as Knapp moved inside and Black took over at left tackle. The group has performed at a high level this fall, and it was enough for them to be named as semifinalists for the Joe Moore Award . It’s an honor given out annually to the top offensive line in the country, but hasn’t been around for long. Starting in 2015, Notre Dame was recipients in 2017, and have been in consideration multiple other seasons. This fall, there’s a good chance for the Irish , with really only Georgia standing in the way of winning it. If Notre Dame’s offensive line continues to perform at a high level, it very well could win the Moore Award. The best offensive line in college football 💪 The Notre Dame offensive line has been named a @JoeMooreAward Semifinalist! #GoIrish ☘️ pic.twitter.com/8gnNM54o9M — Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) November 11, 2026 Contact/Follow us

Where did Miami fall in CFP rankings? How loss to Notre Dame impacted Hurricanes

The writing was on the wall for Miami football entering its game against Notre Dame on Saturday. With Malachi Toney out and Notre Dame favored by a touchdown against the No. 1 team in the country, the Hurricanes ultimately succumbed to the Fighting Irish 31-24. Darian Mensah threw the ball 43 times without his top receiver, while Mark Fletcher Jr. was largely phased out of the game plan after Notre Dame jumped out to a 24-3 lead early in the third quarter. Although Miami managed to make it a game, it ultimately came up short of a miraculous comeback bid, ending the game in Notre Dame territory. REQUIRED READING: CFP rankings face a major reset. Here are the 5 biggest mysteries The problem for Miami, of course, is its schedule. Only games against Duke , Virginia Tech, and Boston College remain, and Notre Dame was easily the strongest team Mario Cristobal's squad will face this year. The committee took that into account, dropping Miami to No. 7 in the second CFP rankings after ranking it first in the initial unveiling Nov. 3. Miami isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, eliminated. But another loss for the 8-1 (6-0 ACC) Canes
