I guess Conor Stallions WAS a difference maker

That Purdue game was one of the best things to happen to us. We don't come out on defense today like we did if that didn't happen. We played with our hair on fire. Hopefully it stays lit for our matchup next week.

I really can’t believe Michigan didn’t put Orgi in to start the second half. His running ability would have at least given them a chance. They were coming off a bye too.

I usually figure most of the regulars are at home games.
LET'S GO BOWL-ING!!!!
Congrats to Bielema, Altmyer and the entire team and coaching staff for a great game, especially turning the defense around!
At halftime when it was 14-7, I thought to myself, "Okay, we've been here before." Illinois led at halftime last week also, but fell apart in the second half. THIS time, they played ALL 30 MINUTES of the second half. And it didn't take overtime for the "W"!!!
Whatever bowl we get to go to, I'm more confident we'll get a win this time.
WHAT A YEAR!!! WHAT A TEAM!!!

Don’t think so. They just wanted to make sure Luke’s head didn’t get separated from his body. Valentine got in for at least one play I think.
I ended up watching the game at a Michigan bar (genuine accident lol) and it was a pretty hilarious good time. A couple highlights:
Comments from the Michigan fans including “Brett Bielema always looks like he’s constipated” and “not sure why they’re cheering, this is their first decent season in 15 years”.
Realizing that the whole bar sings the Michigan fight song after every Michigan touchdown and taking it upon myself to solo belt the Illini fight song after our 2nd touchdown
.
All in all, most Michigan fans were pretty friendly and it was a good time. ILL

Wait for that in a couple more years.
Some people on this board have no idea how college football works. What a WIN
really no reason to use him today

This is what is interesting with all the money scUM has they couldn’t get someone else. Texas destroying them doesn’t look as impressive anymore
Either they thought they had a better qb or they spent their money elsewhere
I remember another major Div-I football game - not Illinois - might have been a bowl. At the end, right when the clock hit :00, in big letters, the stadium scoreboards all switched immediately to say STAY OFF THE FIELD.
It didn't help.
Michigan looked pretty inept. Are they bad or did we just make them look that way?
Really impressed with how our lines went up against theirs… was worried about that!

To be fair, if scUM got a QB from the portal, it would have been DJU with their taste in QBs....

No we were all absolutely sure we were winning so everyone was just chilling waiting for the game to end.
All true…but I’m prepared to give them a pass this time. Lol. It’s kinda tacky. But, the students can’t really help the orientation/the geometry of the place. Also, this win is a BIG, BIG deal for a number of reasons. They’re new to this. It’ll get better.
