CAC Wrapup, 2019

CAC Coach Of The Year: Jon Dobsinski, OC, #2 Illinois


11-2 (9-1), Big Ten Champions, Rose Bowl win, final rank #2

Season Synopsis: The Illini lost just twice all year, to then #1 Georgia in OT and to eventual national champs Ohio State by 7. A scheduling bug left them with just 11 regular season games, which may have cost them a national championship berth. They'll feel hard-done-by, but a Big Ten title and BCS bowl win is better than they've done in years.

POTY: QB Emmanuel Bryant - 3003 pass yards (66%), 31 TD, 7 INT, 821 rush yards (5.2 YPC), 7 TD


3-9 (3-5), no bowl

Season Synopsis: Amir Cohen came in and brought a team coming off back-to-back 1-11 season to 3-9 after starting 0-8. It's an OK first year, but he'll need to build on 2019 to keep his job.

POTY: QB Hakim Johnson - 3218 pass yards (55%), 25 TD, 5 INT


5-7 (4-5), no bowl

Season Synopsis: Rodney Sims and Travis Bracken are likely going pro. Smith's defense wasn't terrible, but those 2 carried it. HC spot could be open for Smith soon.

POTY: DE Rodney Sims - 79 tack., 29 TFL, 10.5 sacks, INT, defl., 2 FF


9-5 (7-3), Alamo Bowl loss to Texas

Season Synopsis: A midseason switch to an Air Raid offense revitalized a team that started slowly. Ultimately a disappointing year with all the talent on deck, the Bruins couldn't get it done, losing 3 games by a field goal.

POTY: QB Mike Hayden - 4136 pass yards (62%), 44 TD, 8 INT, 650 rush yards (4.0 YPC), 6 TD


9-4 (5-4), Sun Bowl victory over Virginia Tech, final rank #23

Season Synopsis: This team had gone 2-10 in 2018, so to finish 2019 9-4 and ranked is huge. Slaughter's offense was terrific, and with more talent could have been even better.

POTY:
HB Darryl Perkins - 1282 rush yards (5.7 YPC), 12 TD, long of 17
