It was 28-0, and everything was going right, and then Illinois woke up right before halftime and almost pulled off an upset. That’s the story of Michigan football‘s experience in Illinois. For Michigan State, however, they were never able to stop the bleeding.
Up 28-3, the Spartan fan base began believing in their team again.
“Michigan State scored 17 points in the entire month of October,” A tweet from Spartan Avenue said. “Michigan State has 28 points in the first 19 minutes vs. Illinois.”
That tweet didn’t age well, as they say.
Illinois – with the former Michigan quarterback at the helm – went on an impossible second-half run that included 20 unanswered points.
