How many Illini have crossed the 1,000-yard barrier this century?
- 3
- 6
- 9
- 12
I want to preface this by saying that there's not much.
And in the last decade, the 1,000-yard barrier has only been broken 10 times.
And Chase Brown did it twice — and it took him 498 attempts.
The others were:
- 2002 Antoineo Harris — 1,330 rushing yards
- 2002 Brandon Lloyd — 1,010 receiving yards
- 2007 Rashard Mendenhall — 1,681 rushing yards
- 2008 Arrelious Benn — 1,055 receiving yards
- 2010 Mikel Leshoure — 1,697 rushing yards
- 2011 A.
