No clue!

Well, as most of you probably already know by now the correct answer is:

John Brockington

He played for the packers and chiefs in the NFL and rushed for over 1000 yards in a season several times.

I have another question:

Who was Indiana's starting QB the last time they went to a bowl game?
good luck and thanks for playing...

Brockington was one of the names I pulled out of thin air as I thought about this question today.

Trent Green?

Matt said...

yes, the correct answer is Trent Green. Indiana played in the 1990 peach bowl against Auburn with a 6-5 record. Not surprisingly they were the last BT team chosen to go to a bowl that year and even though they finished behind Minnesota (who was passed over at 6-5) and lost to Minnesota 12-0.

Indiana lost the bowl game too- Minnesota would have beaten Auburn they had a much better team.

Can you name the Michigan starting QB the last time Minnesota beat Michigan?

Too easy! I just watched that game over the summer...

Jim Harbaugh

OK
you want something harder, how about this:

Robert Gallery won the Outland trophy in 2003 for best lineman in the nation.

Who was the last BT player before Gallery to win the outland trophy and in what year did he win it?

Jay said...

Just a guess -- Mandarich in 1988,9?

Matt said...

incorrect,
Any other guesses?

Jay said...

Its an Iowa lineman isn't it.

Matt said...

Ok

The correct answer is:

Orlando Pace Ohio State 1996
