Career
Kinsley began attending

Most Outstanding Player
to a member not on the winning team; Kinsley's heroics in both games made him a natural choice as no one could fault him for CC's inability to score against Michigan. The award criteria were changed after 1952 and on only three occasions since has it gone to a player not on the winning team (as of 2020).
After 1952 CC had trouble replacing their graduating star players and the team sputtered to a record of 9–11 before rebounding with a 14–9–1 mark in Kinsley's senior season, but that wasn't good enough to get them back to the tournament.
