Leshoure 'beginning to separate himself'
October 28, 2009 9:59 AM
But with Mikel Leshoure taking an increased role, the Illini are trying to re-establish themselves as a solid running team.
The sophomore has taken over the No. 1 spot on the depth chart the last two games, rushing for 200 yards on 27 carries. Illinois has followed suit with 185 and 180 yards rushing, albeit against Indiana and Purdue. In four previous games against Football Bowl Subdivision teams, the Illini averaged 113 rushing yards and 3.3 yards per carry, having padded some of their stats against Illinois State.
