Live blog: Illinois misses another chance at points
(Photo: David Guralnick, Detroit News)Well, they had their chance...again. The Illini played it safe after the turnover with run plays on first and second down, setting itself up with a third down and short, but two incompletions later, the Michigan defense had itself another victory.
With 5:02 to play in the third quarter, Michigan still leads, 31-0.

The Illini will get a chance to right the wrong when it fumbled away its chance at points. Wilton Speight hit Jehu Chesson for a nice gain out near midfield, but the senior wide receiver fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Illinois, who will take over at the Michigan 37.
