Jug, Pig, Citrus Bowl, a couple of guys into the NFL, B1G Coach of the Year, an All-American, a bunch of all-B1Gs, a RB with over 1500 yards = A
Forget the Illinois fiasco, or the bowl game: that stuff happens.
My concern is with you folks who even consider giving this Axe-less team an A grade. That bothers me.
How can losing 3 of the last 4 games earn an A grade?
True. Add a 5-5 record against Power 5, old BSC, Conference teams and an "A" would be a "give everyone a trophy for effort" grade.
Beating Nebraska, getting the Pig and the Jug and getting out of the Big Ten with a 5-3 record though get's them a solid "B".
