Jeff George Jr. finally completed his first pass of the day, a 43-yard strike to Malik Turner that got the Illini into Michigan territory. After another six-yard completion, things again went awry for the Illinois quarterback, who couldn't take the snap from his center and ended up fumbling away a chance for points as Michigan recovered.
The Illini have been in Wolverine territory multiple times today, but they've still yet to come away with points. Michigan leads, 31-0, with 6:54 to play in the third quarter.
Offense stalls in Illini territory
The Michigan offense picked up three first downs on its first four plays on its first drive of the second half, but they weren't able to put any points on the board as Wilton Speight was sacked on third down and Michigan was forced to punt.
