2019 MAC Football Week 3 Game Recap: Eastern Michigan flies the flag in 34-31 win over Illinois

Related Topics: Illinois, Rutgers University

Eastern Michigan pulled off the the unthinkable for the third time in a row. After getting their first win against a Big Ten team against Rutgers two years ago. Then proving it wasn’t a fluke when they beat Purdue last year. They continue against the Big Ten with a 34-31 victory over the Fighting Illini.

When the Illini tied it with less than two minutes to go, I thought Coach Creighton was going to do the safe thing and take a tie game into overtime.

He didn’t have that in mind and he decided to trust the hands of Mike Glass.
