Ah yes, Howard. Of course. Holecek was a great LB too tho."It is the first time Illinois has had three All-Big Ten first team honorees on defense since LB Dana Howard, LB Simeon Rice, and LB Kevin Hardy were all first team selections in 1994. Illinois has had as many All-Big Ten first team players on defense in the last two years as the previous 12 years combined (4)."
Witherspoon Named DB of the Year, All-Big Ten Defense/Special Teams Announced - University of Illinois Athletics
Witherspoon, Jer'Zhan Newton, and Sydney Brown all earned All-Big Ten first team honors
Man who was the one bum on defense who wasn't all conference? /S
Calvin Avery did not receive recognition, but he seemed to have a really solid year in the interior. Freed up his teammates to make plays. He was worth the wait. Didn’t know if he would ever scratch his potential.
Harbaugh's team was already loaded. BB got the most out of this team, as the individual awards show, and had a 3 win improvement over last year. BB deserves CotY
Referee assists are included.
We lost 4 B1G games and didn't win the division, so I wouldn't expect BB to be named COY.
True but we were projected to finish in the bottom third. So you could make an argument
Is that like a hockey assist
