Corum's open field speed also a big ? Since when does a 1st Team Big Ten RB run out of bounds down the sideline when he can't out run the defense with nothing but pasture in front of him on a screen play. That was definitely not 1st Team stuff there. Thought Brown out ran Corum in the head to head match up.

Amazing and wild what a legitimately good coaching staff can do. And respect to the players for learning and getting better. It's frustrating Chase wasn't first-team, but 19 All-B1G honorees. This season was just so darn successful.
Just curious, has anyone done the math on big ten honorees this year by school? I wonder if any school has more than 19?
If Chase isn’t first team all big ten is a travesty.
Chase also had 240 yards in receiving, compared to 50 for MO and 80 for Corum. Just one guy’s opinion but of the three, the one to leave off was Corum
We can all gripe about Chase Brown being left off the First Team, but let's also celebrate the achievements regarding the Illini who received any sort of All Big Ten recognition. For example: Alex Pihlstrom. What a great story! Walk-on tight end a few years ago who gets little or no playing time for several seasons; puts on weight to see whether he can get on the field as an offensive lineman; gets some action last season; becomes a center for the first time this season and ultimately makes the Second Team All Big Ten roster. Awesome.
just not the state
I can always remember two (and only two) of the three H's. Which one I have trouble remembering seems to vary.
Back then, I used to tell myself that Rice had an H, too, but it was invisible.
I think Chase is the best all-around back in the country.
I don't think he has the speed in the open field that Ibrahim and Corum have (that's why his TD total isn't higher). That's just one thing, but it makes the other two flashier, and, for RB's, that's what wins awards.

TL;DR
disrespect.
disrespect.
Honestly, I could see arguments for E. Nearly 50% more yards per carry than Chase? Not enough carries, though, and too many fumbles.
Based on this, not sure how you pick A (Corum) over B (Robinson.)
We can use this snub to our advantage. What's decided in the press is of little value and is generally put together by follow-the-leader types. Both of the guys who got on deserved to be there; one for team success and the other for the consecutive 100 yard game streak, and both being in the same ball park yardage wise as Brown was. Of course, Brown really deserved to be there as well! So what do you do? The wimps followed the path of least resistance!
Now for our ADVANTAGE. It's on the field. Let Brown heal up and let the team rally around him in righteous anger. I pity the fool that tries to stop him with our outraged linemen blocking for him.
Let's get him 200 yards and 3 TDs!
