RANTOUL — Josh Ferguson paused a moment before coming off the practice fields on Friday afternoon at Camp Rantoul.
A big smile creased his face while a photo was taken to commemorate the moment.
Perhaps because it was the last time the fifth-year senior running back would undergo a workout on the grounds of the former Chanute Air Force Base.
Illinois fans should feel relieved, too, that among injuries suffered by Illini running backs in the last four months, none have happened to Ferguson.
True freshman running backs Reggie Corbin (shoulder) and Dre Brown (knee) will likely redshirt this season.
