NJTank Posted December 12, 2002 Author Share Posted December 12, 2002 MAybe I blew this question. I know Kinnack died in WWII, but the answer I had in mind was Ernie Davis of Syarcuse who died of Leukema 18 months later. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cianfrocco Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 I am not exactly sure if Kinnick falls in the 2 year range or not. He won in 1939(?) and the US was in the war from late '41 until '45, so it might have been more than two years. I was just guessing, since he was Iowa's only winner. **cough**Brad Banks**cough**....
