Notes

Illinois 1927 Season

"In 1927, Zuppke produced his fourth undefeated team, going 7-0-1. The 1927 Illinois club was literally unbeatable, yielding only 24 points the entire season, 12 of them coming in a tie with Iowa State. Besides the Cyclones, only Northwestern and Chicago were able to score a single point against this ferocious Illini team. Illinois' closest com­petition for the conference title was Minnesota, who finished 3-0-1 in conference play, but by virtue of not playing Illinois and its tie with Indiana, finished second behind 5-0 ­Illinois. Among those awarded postseason honors were guard Russell Crane and center Robert Reitsch, both of whom were members of Grantland Rice's All-America team." from fightingillini.com
