All-Decade running backs announced

The University of Illinois announced the sixth group of players on the All-Decade Team Tuesday, with running backs Mikel Leshoure, Rashard Mendenhall and Pierre Thomas being named to the 31-player team. The squad, which honors Illini who played between 2000-10, was compiled by a combination of fan voting and input from Division of Intercollegiate Athletics staff.
