Injuries give Jay Prosch unlikely opportunity

But Saturday at Illinois' intrasquad scrimmage inside the Atkins Indoor Practice Facility, Prosch responded beautifully when asked to briefly shift from fullback to tailback due to a rash of injuries in the offensive backfield...

... it was Prosch who dazzled with the kind of punishing runs you'd expect from a fullback, but also has a surprising burst of speed and shiftiness that made the 6-foot, 250-pounder look like a very competent tailback.
