CHAMPAIGN - Tim Beckman says you'll see at least three running backs on the field Saturday in Illinois' season opener against Western Michigan.  We have been talking the last couple weeks about Donovonn Young and Josh Ferguson being the 1-2 punch, but Beckman said Monday freshman Dami Ayoola will get in the game as well.

Ayoola is a freshman from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.  He gives Beckman and company just one more weapon to work with.

The running game should be a big point of differentiation this year! If Illinois' receivers can play just well enough to keep the opposing secondaries honest, Illinois will rack up some big yards!
