Liuget pondering NFL

If Corey Liuget decides to leave early for the NFL, he'll have a pretty good tape to show the NFL scouts.

The junior defensive tackle was a disruptive force against Baylor, frequently penetrating the backfield and forcing hurried passes from quarterback Robert Griffin III.

"Corey's a guy who has just gotten better and better," Illinois coach Ron Zook said. "He really practiced extremely well. I told him one day, 'If you don't go hard, they're not going to go hard.' He accepted it and had a great couple of weeks."
