Josh Ferguson leads Blue past Orange in Spring Game

Illinois redshirt running back Josh Ferguson is just playing football, so life is back to normal for the former Joliet Catholic star.

After missing most of the season last year with a serious hamstring injury, Ferguson returned to the scene with his burst. Ferguson rushed for 150 yards and could become a key component this fall in Illini coach Tim Beckman's first season on the job.

"It's really relieving just to play football again, not being in rehab all day every day," Ferguson said. "It's been a long offseason. I'm happy to be back."
