AUBURN, Ala. u2015 J.B. Grimes' offensive linemen need only to look at their coach for inspiration this football season.
The Auburn assistant coach had surgery to remove both a cancerous spot on his tongue and his lymph nodes on a Wednesday, and was on the field the following Monday for the start of football practice in August. Grimes was named this Wednesday this week's national nominee for the Courage Award by the Football Writers Association of America. The winner will be announced after the season.
Auburn's linemen know how they'd cast their vote.
