Selecting an all-time team for an entire conference is an insanely difficult task. FOX college football analyst R.J. Young accepted the challenge over the summer and shared his results with one B1G head coach.
Young produced his All-Time B1G Team, including some of the greatest players on both sides of the ball. At B1G Media Days, Young was confident enough to hand his selections over to Northwestern head coach and former linebacker Pat Fitzgerald.
The Northwestern head coach said he would make a few tweaks to the roster.
Noticeably absent from the offensive side were former Ohio State running backs Eddie George and Archie Griffin. Defensively, Fitzgerald thought he should have been included. Well, at least he believed that’s the case since Young has former Wisconsin defensive back and current defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard on the list.
Here’s the clip of Fitzgerald providing his feedback:
