Benn: "I just want to finish out strong"

The Illinois wide receiver's imperfect season perfectly fits the definition of "frustrating," but Benn doesn't let a negative word slip from his mouth when asked about his season.

Suffering a high ankle sprain three plays into the season?

"That's just the game of football," Benn said.

Followed by thigh, shoulder and head injuries, that has to stink, right?

"I can't control injuries," he said. "That happens. You just have to fight back."
