You keep doubling down...
Why wouldn't the OL of the team leading the B1G in rushing be considered? You sound a lot like @oldhawk12

If you leave out a couple games, this is a no brainer. But, unfortunately, we have to count all the games.

Iowa is averaging over 200 rushing yards per game against many of the best defenses in the country. If you don't believe me, study the Massey ratings: Ohio State is rated #1 in defense in the country; Iowa State 13th; Minnesota 19th; Wisconsin 20th; Washington 23rd; Nebraska 24th; UCLA 33rd; Michigan State 41st; Northwestern 43rd. The Big Ten is full of great defensive teams.
This consideration for the Moore award is deserved. The problem this year hasn't been the offense. It has been plenty good enough. The problem has been our defense being a bit more more porous than last year. Combine last year's defense with this year's offense and I think we would be 8-2 right now, minimum. But it didn't pan out that way. We lost two close games that we should have won because of the defense, in my opinion.
