Defensive end Mike Hammerstein followed with 19 first-team votes.[1] In the UPI balloting among conference coaches, Illinois wide receiver David Williams received the most votes, having been named to the first team by nine of the conference's ten coaches.[2] In the UPI voting, Iowa's Chuck Long edged Jim Everett by one vote for the first-team quarterback position.[2]
The Iowa Hawkeyes won the Big Ten championship and led the conference with eight first-team players, including quarterback Chuck Long and linebacker Larry Station. The Michigan Wolverines led the nation in scoring defense and placed six players on the first-team units, including defensive linemen Mike Hammerstein and Mark Messner and linebacker Mike Mallory.[1]
