Impact Feagin found his way into the end zone for the second week in a row, as he continued to serve as the premier back in the Fighting Illini's banged-up backfield. With junior running back Reggie Love (lower leg) still sidelined, the freshman logged career highs in rushing attempts and yards, and he also found the end zone for the second week in a row. While Feagin had to temporarily exit while dealing with a leg issue, redshirt freshman Aidan Laughery was the only other Illinois running back to log any carries (three) in this run-oriented offensive game plan. Feagin has now totaled 43 carries for 181 yards and two touchdowns over the last two games. With Illinois on bye Week 9, it's possible Feagin's workload could take a hit if Love is able to return for the team's next game against Minnesota on Saturday, Nov. 4.
