Michigan football roared out to a 28-0 lead on Saturday against Illinois, but things got dicey late, allowing the Illini to score 25-straight points to get it to a one-score game early in the fourth quarter. The Wolverines would put it together on both sides of the ball and score the final 14 points to walk out of Champaign with a 42-25 win to move to 5-1 (3-1 B1G) on the season heading into the defining stretch of the 2019 season.
Let’s start out by saying that fans should absolutely be happy with a road win in conference play.
