University of Houston offensive line targets Joe Moore Award success
Summary

The University of Houston enters its Saturday home game against Oregon State with a reconfigured offensive line aiming to contend for the Joe Moore Award, which honors the nation's top offensive unit. The five-man group of Shadre Hurst, McKenzie Agnello, Anthony Boswell, Drew Terrill, and Alvin Ebosele brings together players who navigated unconventional paths to the program, including stints at the FCS level and as walk-ons. Head coach Willie Fritz identified the unit as a high priority during the offseason, adding three new starters to the lineup. Two returning starters, Agnello and Ebosele, provide continuity for a group that emphasizes toughness and cohesion. The Cougars host Oregon State at TDECU Stadium on Saturday at 11 a.m. in a game broadcast on ESPN and Disney+.
