ANN Arbor, Mich. -- Michigan found itself down 17-16 against Illinois in the fourth quarter with only nine seconds to go, when senior kicker Jake Moody ran onto the field for what would be the last kick of his college career at Michigan Stadium.
Moody had never kicked a game-winning field goal in his entire career, but he lined up for the 35-yard field goal from the right hash and put it straight through the uprights to keep Michigan's undefeated season alive with a 19-17 win. It was Moody's fourth field goal of the game, but he said there hasn't been another kick he's had that compares to this one against Illinois.
