The lowly 1-6 Fighting Illini pulled out a great upset at home today. The first half was close, with Michigan up 13-7, and Michigan looked poised to score again, but the Illinois linebacker brought the Wolverine runner down at the one yard line. After a four down goal line stand, the Fighting Illini marched 99.75 yards for a score and never looked back. They scored 31 unanswered points.
I am glad that Juice Williams has at least one really good game for his senior year.
Sorry to Michigan fans, but that is just one team I cannot root for.
I thought that it was cool that the play that inspired the Illini was that hustle play to prevent the touch down. Hopefully Ron Zook can motivate and get the Illini to play well to finish their season. Don't know if he is in any trouble, but he should get more time to build a winner at Illinois.
