Illinois' Chase Brown leads the nation in rushing with 1,059 yards. But Brown is more than just a running threat.

This edition of the Doc's Diagnosis presented by Centris Federal Credit Union focuses on Brown's ability to catch the football as well. On the season, Brown has 15 catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns. 

Dr. Rob Zatechka draws up why Brown only needs an extra step to make teams pay the price. There's a good chance the Nebraska defense will be chasing Chase Brown on Saturday, which could be a problem as the Huskers are ranked 115th nationally against the run, giving up just over 190 yards game on the ground.
