Liuget has found home away from home

Missing out on holidays and monthly picnics in a Florida park with an extended family that includes 56 cousins may as well have put Champaign on the opposite side of the globe.

"We're very family oriented," the junior defensive tackle said. "Every third Sunday of each month we get together at a park with a big feast, kickball, baseball, everything. Calling home for Thanksgiving and not being there, I was just missing home."
