Brit Miller: strength training and weight loss

During the offseason, Illini strength coach Lou Hernandez instructed linebacker Brit Miller and several of his teammates to slim down to 240 pounds. Miller had swelled to 258 pounds following a foot injury and needed to drop weight before training camp. Inspired by the TV show "The Biggest Loser," Miller and the others initiated a competition to see who could reach 240 first.

So, who won?

"This guy right here, dude, the biggest loser," Miller said, raising his arms in victory. "I was the first to get to 240."
