All BIG selections

I haven't looked directly at the stats, but it seems like Nick Jackson was screwed.
Probably the same line of thinking by voters and why Higgins wasn't up for the Butkus Award. B10 voters didn't want 2 Iowa LBs no matter what the stats say. National media doesn't want another Butkus winner from Iowa so soon after Jack C. no matter what the stats say.
 
True, now that I think about it Kim was automatic against us as well….so maybe nothing to see here….
I didn't realize how good Zvada was TBH, just looked at it he was 17-18 on the season, 7-7 over 50. I will stand by it all day long that Iowa should have let Stevens kick that ball against ISU.

Meh, there isn't a conspiracy theory here. Higgins was ****ed on the Butkus though.
 
As far as post season honors go, I want to see this to be happy:

Kaleb Johnson: Consensus All-American
Jay Higgins: Consensus All-American
Probably won't get either one. No Butkas for Jay Hig. He was down 60 tackles from last year because the defense actually played way less snaps then last year.
