Terry Hawthorne's chase and tackle changes game, gives boost to Illini

Who knew that one tackle by one true freshman who went to his first training camp a wide receiver and came out as a cornerback would do the trick?

With Michigan seemingly headed for a 20-7 lead, Terry Hawthorne, in his first college start, chased down Roy Roundtree at the 1-yard line. That inspired the defense to stuff the Wolverines on four straight runs. And inspired Juice Williams and the offense to score three consecutive touchdowns.
