The Michigan offense used nine plays to march the ball down to the Illionis 10, but they were turned away on third down and forced to settle for a 27-yard field goal from Kenny Allen that stretches the lead to 34-0 with 43 seconds to play in the third quarter.
The Wolverines have had all their regulars out there on offense in the third quarter, but they've been unable to punch one in the end zone.
Illinois just can't find the promise land
Well, they had their chance...again. The Illini played it safe after the turnover with run plays on first and second down, setting itself up with a third down and short, but two incompletions later, the Michigan defense had itself another victory.
