The 11-0 Wolverines will battle No. 2 Ohio State next Saturday.
While Brown put Illinois in front, Moody and Michigan did just enough to claw back.
After an early fourth-quarter field goal, the Wolverines had a pair of golden opportunities to take the lead with less than five minutes remaining. They had to settle for a third Moody field goal and a 17-16 deficit, though, after squandering a pair of golden opportunities to go in front. Michigan quickly forced a punt on the ensuing Illinois drive and got the ball back with 2:10 left in the fourth. The team needed a fourth-and-3 conversion to keep its chances alive and moved the ball further down field thanks to a defensive pass interference call. Jim Harbaugh turned to Moody one last time, and the kicker came through with a 35-yard make to put Michigan up 19-17 with nine seconds remaining.
With the win, the Wolverines at 11-0 for the first time in 25 years. However, they have their toughest test of the season coming up. Michigan will visit the Horseshoe next Saturday against rival Ohio State, the No. 2 team in the country. The winner of that game will earn a berth in the Big Ten Championship Game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Dec. 3. Corum’s status for that contest will be key after the star runner suffered an apparent leg injury in the second quarter.Copyright RSN
