From Red Grange to Rashard Mendenhall and everyone in between, there have been some legendary ball carriers. Illinois has one of the roster right now as well. Reggie Corbin finally had his chance to shine in 2018 and didn’t disappoint. He finished the season rushing for 1,085 yards and nine touchdowns. We only get one more year of Corbin, though. After the 2019 campaign, he will depart due to graduation.
Who will replace Corbin and his production in the Illini backfield? Could it be Mike Epstein who has shown flashes of greatness but has trouble staying on the field?
