For the third time this season, the unique tunnel placement at Michigan Stadium has caused a problem.
After halftime of Michigan’s game vs. Illinois, ESPN sideline reporter Molly McGrath reported that Illinois was upset over being delayed at coming back onto the field. As a result, the refs added two more minutes on the halftime clock before kicking off in the second half.
“Bret Bielema came out of the locker room, and was yelling that Michigan was running late and yelled for all of the different officials to hold Michigan back, but they let Michigan go and Illinois was held back and entered the field late,” McGrath said.
