Ford is Illinois? leading rusher in 2011 with 600 yards on 155 carries (3.9 ypc) and 7 touchdowns. He finishes his career 1,962 career rushing yards, which ranks 16th on the all-time Illinois rushing list, and 26 career rushing touchdowns, which is second in Illinois history behind only Howard Griffith?s school record of 31.

Kumerow played in seven games in 2011 and had three catches for 15 yards on the season. All three of his catches came in the regular season finale at Minnesota on Nov. 26.

The Illini (6-6) play UCLA (6-7) at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 31 on ESPN.
