The squad was only coach Robert Zuppke’s second at Illinois and would be the first of four national­ championship teams he would lead in his 29 years at Illinois. The Fighting Illini defense shut out four of its seven opponents, yielding only 22 points the entire 1914 season, and the averaged up an incredible 32 points per game, in­cluding a 51-0 shellacking of Indiana on Oct. 10. This team was so good that no one scored a point against them until Oct. 31, the fifth game of the seven-game season. The closest game of the year, two weeks later, wasn’t very close at all, a 21-7 home decision over Chicago. Leading the way for Zuppke’s troops was right halfback Bart Macomber. He led the team in scoring. Left guard Ralph Chapman was named to Walter Camp’s first-team All-America squad, while left halfback­ Harold Pogue, the team’s second-leading scorer, was named to Camp’s second team.

1919 The 1919 team was the only one of Zuppke’s national champi­ ­on­ship 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.

1923 The 1923 season became a particularly special year in Illinois football history. Not only did Illinois and Zuppke win their third na­tional championship in 10 years, but Memorial Stadium was finally com­pleted. It was unveiled for all to see at the homecoming contest, a victory vs. Chicago on Nov. 3. The 1923 season also meant the arrival of legendary halfback Red Grange, who became­ possibly the most storied college football player ever. Grange was named a Walter Camp All-American after scoring 72 points that season. After the win over Chicago, the Fighting Illini finished their undefeated season by shutting out their final three opponents en route to a tie for the con­ference crown with Michigan, which Illinois didn’t play. The defense was spectacular, as Illinois held its last five opponents scoreless and outscored its foes, 82-0, to finish the season. In addition to Grange, left guard James McMillen joined the Galloping Ghost on several award teams, including Eckersall’s first-team All-America squad.

1927 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.

1951 The 1951 squad posted a near-perfect 9-0-1 record on the season, grabbing a share of the national title. The team started off the season with seven straight wins, beating 20th-ranked Washington and No. 15 Michigan along the way. The Illini suffered its only non-win of the year against Ohio State when neither team managed to score in a 0-0 tie. Illinois capped the season with a 40-7 romping of Stanford in the 1952 Rose Bowl. Consensus All-American Johnny Karras led the team in rushing and Hall of Famer Al Brosky was a star in the defensive secondary.

2014 Illinois Football Record Book // 177 Fighting Illini HIstory Rivalry Trophies

The Land of Lincoln Trophy / Tomahawk (Illinois-Northwestern – Rivalry trophy since 1945 // Land of Lincoln Trophy since 2009) Illinois leads 34-31-2 (NU leads Land of Lincoln 3-2 // ILL led Tomahawk 32-28-2)

Illinois and Northwestern play annually for the “Land of Lincoln” trophy, a relatively new rivalry trophy. The Wildcats lead the series 3-2 after a pair of Northwestern victories in 2012 and 2013. The Illini won the previous two meetings, 48-27 at Wrigley Field in 2010 and 38-35 at Memorial Stadium in 2011. Northwestern won the initial Land of Lincoln Trophy game in 2009, 21-16 in Champaign. The Land of Lincoln Trophy was chosen by fans of both schools in an online vote to replace the 62-year old Tomahawk Trophy. As members of the Big Ten West Division starting in 2014, the Fighting Illini and Wildcats will play every year.

Illinois and Northwestern played for the “Sweet Sioux” Tomahawk from 1947-2008. Illinois led the traditional trophy series by a 32-28-2 mark, but Northwestern won the final meeting for the Tomahawk with its 27-10 win in 2008. The Tomahawk was retired following the 2008 season. The story of the Tomahawk trophy dates back to 1945 when the staff members of the two student newspapers conceived the idea of a wooden Indian trophy, “Sweet Sioux.” A Tomahawk Trophy was inaugurated in 1947 to replace the wooden Indian.

The IlliBuck (Illinois-Ohio State – since 1925) Ohio State leads 61-23-2

Illinois and Ohio State play for the coveted “Illibuck” trophy. Ohio State leads the trophy series with a 61-23-2 mark. “Illibuck” is – or was – a turtle, destined for long life, it was hoped. But the wear and tear of traveling between Champaign-Urbana and Columbus was too much, even for a hardy marine reptile. “Illibuck” died in the spring of 1927 and his successor is now a wooden replica. Members of two junior honorary societies, Bucket and Dipper of Ohio State and Atius-Sachem of Illinois, annually meet at halftime of the Fighting Illini-Buckeye game to present the “Illibuck” trophy to the previous year’s winning school.

Illinois last took the “Illibuck” with a 28-21 win at Columbus in 2007, but Ohio State took it back with a 30-20 win in Champaign in 2008 and has retained it the last five years with a 30-0 win at Ohio Stadium in 2009, followed by 24-13 and 17-7 wins at Memorial Stadium in 2010 and ‘11, a 52-22 win in Columbus in 2012 and a 60-35 triumph in Champaign in 2013.

The Cannon (Illinois-Purdue – since 1943) Purdue leads 32-27-2

Illinois and Purdue play each year for the coveted “Cannon.” Purdue leads the traditional trophy series by a 32-27-2 mark. The “Cannon,” more accurately known as the Purdue Cannon, made its first trip to Champaign-Urbana in 1905 when a group of Purdue students brought it to fire after a Boilermaker victory. Purdue won the game, 29-0, but the Cannon was never fired. Illinois student Quincy Hall found the Cannon hidden near the old Illinois Field and moved it to his farmhouse near Milford, Ill. There, it survived a fire and gathered dust until 1943, when Hall donated it as a symbol of the UI-Purdue rivalry.

Tomahawk Service and Leadership honorary at Purdue and Illini Pride of Illinois maintain the replica trophy when the respective school has won it. The actual Cannon was last fired Nov. 4, 2001, at the Illinois football complex following an Illini victory. Illinois won the Cannon in 2010, with a 44-10 win at Memorial Stadium. However, Purdue won it back in 2011 with a 21-14 victory in West Lafayette and retained it in 2012 with a 20-17 win in Champaign. The Illini regained possession of the Cannon with a 20-16 win in West Lafayette in 2013.
