Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

For the No. 24 Michigan Wolverines (4-2), they’ll be hoping there were lessons learned from their nail-biter 2022 matchup against currently No. 22-ranked Illinois (5-1).

It was a chilly day at Michigan Stadium on November 19, 2022 — the temperature was just 25 degrees with a real feel of just nine with 15 mph winds swirling. It was a brutal day to watch football at The Big House, let alone play in the game.

It was a game where Michigan running back Blake Corum injured his knee, requiring surgery that took him out of the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff.
