Notes:

* The NIC-10 Sports History book eventually will try to get games, games started and all-conference honors for offensive linemen.

* These are the stats I have so far. Some schools don’t have statistics on players … even when they should. Ray Robey (Auburn) played at Northwestern in the mid-1990s. Northwestern doesn’t have any stats on Robey even though they have stats for guys like Bobby Anderson (Auburn) who played there in the early 1980s. I was able to dig up some statistics on Tim Scharf through newspaper clippings.

* Stats on players before 1970s are very sparse. Jerry Stalcup (East) likely had a ton of tackles for Wisconsin and Marshall Starks (West) was a two-way player at Illinois, but the Illin juist have his offensive numbers. There’s nothing on the real old-timers such as Laurie Walquist and Samuel Behr of Rockford, who played at Illinois and Wisconsin, or Ralph “Moon” Baker, who was so good for Northwestern that he’s in the College Football Hall of Fame.

* If there are players I’ve missed, email me at alexgary87@gmail.com.
