per Luke:

4. Mohamed Ibrahim, RB, Minnesota​

Ibrahim’s value was never more evident than when he sat out with an ankle injury in Week 5. With his streak of 100-yard rushing games stuck on 13, No. 21 Minnesota scored only 10 points vs. Purdue and lost for the first time this season.

After a bye, Ibrahim should be back to resume his streak against Illinois’ nationally acclaimed defense in a huge matchup of B1G West 1-loss teams.

2. Chase Brown, RB, Illinois​

The 5-11, 205-pound junior has been Bret Bielema’s workhorse back through 6 games, going for over 100 rushing yards each time.

He pounded through Iowa in a 9-6 slugfest victory, carrying 31 times for 146 yards.

Minnesota visits this Saturday for a battle of tough-guy running backs.

Averaging a Power 5-best 146.5 rushing yards per game, Brown has Bret Bielema’s Illini rolling. Imagine the hype that would be emanating from Champaign if Illinois (5-1) hadn’t stubbed its toe against Indiana in Week 2.


Go Gophers!!
