Michigan football's defense needed a big play in the fourth quarter of Saturday game at Illinois.

The offense had just scored a touchdown, stopping a 25-0 Illini run and giving the Wolverines a 10-point lead.

U-M just needed a stop.

It came up with one on the very first play of the following possession — thanks to linebacker Cam McGrone.

On first-and-10, Illinois quarterback Matt Robinson dropped back to pass.
