Kaden Feagin News: Scores in blowout win

Feagin compiled 13 carries for 74 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 52-3 victory versus Western Illinois.

Feagin had a productive day in Illinois' season opener, averaging 5.7 yards per attempt and finding the end zone on a day in which the Illini obliterated their FCS opponent. The 6-foot-3 running back found the end zone on a seven-yard run in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand. Though Feagin seems to be locked in a timeshare with fellow running back Aidan Laughery, the fact that Feagin outpaced Laughery in touches indicates that he could still provide worthwhile production as a member of a committee-style approach. His next opportunity will come against Duke on Saturday.
