Allow me to reintroduce myself…my name is the Illini run game…
Seriously, let’s put Ferg in a bubble for all the remaining off days. He was a spark in a big way, and it spread to guys like Vaughn, Neal, and Fejedelem. As Martin O’Donnell pointed out during the radio broadcast, the Purdue defense knew Ferg was back and added linemen to stop him. That, of course, opens up the pass, but the Illini didn’t need to go there…as the run game was plenty.
