Junior from Maryland had the game of his career when his team needed it the most. Finished with 137 yards on just 11 carries, a monstrous 12.5 yard per attempt. His 73-yard jaunt midway through the second quarter gave the Illini a 17-point lead. It was almost as many yards as he had in his entire sophomore season (78). The rest of the Big Ten needs to pay attention to No. 2.
