Mike Epstein isn't here to talk about the past. Honestly, that's never been his preference. And it wasn't earlier this week during his first time speaking with reporters since deciding during the summer to return to play a fifth season of college footbal l at Illinois. Hard to blame him on that front. Epstein's past at Illinois is rife with some serious ups and downs. Success on the field. But injury after injury after injury - two foot fractures and a torn ACL, to be specific - that's kept him off it. S o Epstein is focused solely on what both he and his team can accomplish this fall. No looking back on what his Illinois football career has been, and no looking forward past what he can do in the moment for the Illini."I'm not going to get too muc h into that personal stuff going on with me," Epstein said when asked about his decision to return to Illinois for the 2021 season. "I'm just really glad to be back and excited about the future here and glad they welcomed me back with open arms. I really just genuinely want to do what I can to help this team. "If that's taking the carries 10 times a game, 15 times a game, 20 times a game, it really doesn't matter to me. I want to see wins like we all want to see wins. Whatever I can do to help this team , I promise you, I'll do it." The 23-year-old Epstein had a decision to make this offseason, though. He returned to south Florida after the end of the 2020 season and finished out the academic year and his bachelor's degree in marketing at home. - News G azette Tribune

Illinois running back Mike Epstein currently isn't on the University of Illinois campus, Illini coach Bret Bielema said Wednesday afternoon, and the senior's future with the Illini presently is unclear. Bielema also added linebacker Jake Hansen and offen sive lineman Alex Palczewski aren't going through spring ball. Hansen, a second-team All-Big Ten linebacker last season, announced earlier this month he would return to Illinois for a sixth season instead of pursuing the NFL draft. Palczewski is recoveri ng after offseason knee surgery to repair a torn ACL.But unlike Hansen or Palczewski Epstein isn't in Illinois at the moment. "I've had several conversations with Mike. Mike's back in Florida taking classes," Bielema said of the Fort Lauderdale, F la., native. "Just trying to steer him as best as possible. Whether or not he returns in the fall is strictly in his hands. I've invited him back and told him we'd love to have him be a part of the team. "It's just not my position to comment on it at all , so (I) put it in his hands on what he wants to do." Epstein has spent four injury-riddled seasons with the Illini, playing in 20 games during that time. - News Gazette Tribune

Illinois running back Mike Epstein is one of 42 college football players on the Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award's revised watch list, which was released Tuesday. Epstein, a junior, suffered a season-ending knee injury in last year's opener against Akron and, coming into the 2020 campaign, last scored a touchdown on Oct. 5, 2018, against Rutgers. Epstein and sophomore running back Chase Brown have formed a potent dual threat in the Illini backfield this year, with Epstein compiling 338 rush ing yards and a team-high four rushing touchdowns through five games. Epstein also has a pair of 100-yard rushing performances to his name this year. - News Gazette Tribune

Peters has had a particularly tough run of the season. He missed three games with a positive COVID test, returned for a blowout win against Nebraska on Nov. 21 and must wait until Saturday's home game against No. 24 Iowa to take the field again. That mea ns, if he plays each of the remaining three games, Peters will have played five games in his senior season - with the possibility of a bowl game making it six. All college football teams are eligible for bowl games this year. Playing just two games by th e time the calendar flipped to December isn't exactly what he anticipated going into his senior season."It's really hard," Peters said. "You've got to understand circumstances and why these things are happening but at the same time it takes a toll on you mentally a little bit. It is frustrating because you want to be out there every Saturday. This is the first season something like this has happened where the game can be taken from you in an instant and unexpectedly. "Mentally, it's challenging, especially when you prepare all week and you feel like everybody is ready for the game, you have a lot of momentum and stuff like that. It's tough, but at the same time you've got to lock in and keep rolling with the punches." - Herald-Review Times
