Illinois Fighting Illini offensive coordinator Barry Lunney is hoping for a healthy season for the running backs core of Josh McCray, Kaden Feagin and Aiden Loughery
The Illinois Fighting Illini refused to make excuses for last year's rash of injuries at the running back position."Bad luck, it was one of those years," Lunney said to reporters Monday. "Wash it, flush it. This is 2024. Inevitably, there will probably be something that we'll get blindsided by this year."
"I think that can be hard on a defense, to have to tackle a guy like this and also another guy injects in the game with a different skills set," Lunney said. "The bottom line is they're all very intelligent and they can all handle anything that we throw at them." Together, they give the Illini a strong combination of backs to keep defenses guessing. That's if they remain healthy.
