Leshoure's 3 TDs send Illinois past Baylor in Texas Bowl

Leshoure ran for 184 yards and three touchdowns to break the school's single-season rushing record with 1,697 yards. He also set school records with 122 points and 20 touchdowns in a season.

"It shows hard work pays off," said Leshoure, holding the MVP trophy and wearing a white Stetson that also went to the game's top performer. "We came down here with the goal that it's business first. We proved ourselves and accomplished our goal."
