1914 Illinois

I don't think a lot of people are surprised that Illinois appears to have turned things around, but that it's happened so fast has certainly raised some eyebrows.

Down year for the Big Ten? Maybe. Definitely for Minnesota, where my father went and I took some summer classes. How long until the Gophers get out of the dome? It's not soon enough.

The 1914 Illini coached by Bob Zuppke, center, finished 7-0 and outscored opponents 224-22. Although Army’s considered the consensus national champion, Illinois and Texas also received consideration. Courtesy Illinois Sports Information Archives.
