RANTOUL - If all things go as planned for the Illinois offense this year, they'll be able to lean on a pair of explosive running backs to shoulder the load.

Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson are expected to split carries, and the coaches actually want to play both of them on the field together.  Young wears No. 5; he brings the power.  Ferguson, No. 6, the breakaway speed.  Both have dealt with some injury problems, but if they can stay healthy they could both have big impacts.
