Before the last few games, Ferguson has not had injury problems. He played in 33 games for the Illini over the past 3 seasons prior to this year. If you look at his overall numbers, they are pretty impressive. I think his lack of size hurts him and he gets banged up. But overall, he has been pretty healthy in his illini career.

But you're forgetting about year 1. He only played 3 games his first year, then sat out the rest to a hamstring injury. Was able to take it as a redshirt year though via medical hardship. http://www.fightingillini.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2167&path=football
Has been healthy the last three yes. But year 1 and year 5, there have been some issues.

I didn't forget, it just didn't support my argument.
