3 Saturdays ago, who predicted Illinois would be 5-3 on Halloween?
Laughery has been outstanding and consistent. He’s been much more durable and dependable this year. There’s a reason he’s getting more carries than Barnett, but the board knows more than the coaches!Laughery is a great change of pace back. I don't see him as a run establisher.
Barnett is a prototype RB. It's time to get past whatever "ball security" issues we haven't seen and give him the ball 20 times per game.
Laughery 3rd down back. Jordan Anderson for some short yardage and rest spelling.
But hey...I'm no Barry Lunney Jr......
