Ready for some hoops?
Windy day at Memorial Stadium!
Jason Ford finishes 79 yard touchdown runWell, well, well. How much more fun when the Illini actually win a game! The entire game changed on essentially one play. A Michigan wide receiver had broken away for what looked to be a 20-7 lead. Defensive back Terry Hawthorne chased him down from behind and made the tackle at the 1 yard line. The referee had to look at the replay and Michigan figured to score on the next play - but no. They failed on four tries from the one and the fourth caused yet another review. The ruling was that the ball carrier's right elbow had touched down jusssssssst before he broke the plane of the end zone - first down Illini! The Illini had a 99 yard drive culminating with a 70 yard touchdown run by Mikel Le Shoure. Amazing. Illini 14, Michigan 13. More amazing yet was the finish to the game. A 2 yard touchdown pass from Juice Williams to London Davis. A three yard TD scamper by the Juice. Another long touchdown run by Jason Ford (79 yards) and the crowd went home happy. Still in the cellar of the Big Ten but 1-5 in conference is better that 0-6! Go Illini!
