Notes

Illinois 1919 Season

"The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke's national cham­pi­on­ship squads to lose a game. Wisconsin managed to de­feat the Fighting Illini in Urbana in the third game of the season, 14-10, to tem­porarily knock Illinois out of the conference lead. However, ­Zuppke's men came back from the Wisconsin defeat with three consecutive wins to set up a showdown with the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Nov. 22 to determine the conference champion. Illinois scored first on a first-quarter touchdown and never looked back. The Fighting Illini added a field goal before allowing a Buckeye touchdown and conversion. With the final score, 9-7, in Illinois' favor, the Illini won the conference title and were later named national champions. Right guard Clarence Applegran was named to Eckersall's second-team All-America squad, and left tackle Burt Ingwersen and center John Depler were both members of Walter Camp's second-team All-America squad." from fightingillini.com
