MICHIGAN at ILLINOIS - Game thread, for those of us who don't go to the Live Blog

My Lord Illinois are you serious

Running buck wild! Nice run by Haskins after a few Zach Attacks!

Sweet Jesus they are god awful on defense. 

is Haskins underrated?

Discuss.

Well we see second level blocking. I just hope Gattis works on the RPO game. Just because they can run everywhere doesnt mean they can next week.

This game is going to teach us absolutely nothing about the team. But at least we have a stress free game!

Nice move by Haskins.  Kept his head on and his radar fixed on that endzone.

Just what we needed. Don’t let up.

One thing the SEC does that I think is better than anyone else is bring their bands on the road.  Michigan never does except for MSU, OSU and ND.

WHY cant we take our band to road games?  You would think a school as big and prestigious as UM with a HUGE alumni base that travels to games could find a spare dime to take the band to a couple of road games a year that ARENT MSU...this has always Irked me..Beautiful opening drive on the road in front of a lot UM fans and just seems dead without Hail to the Victors following a TD...

This may be a snoozefest.

So that went well. 

The good - We scored a TD and it looked really easy. 

The bad - We might not have to pass all day. Unfortunately this isn’t going to tell us anything leading up to PSU. No way Shea loses starting spot in this game. 

I want to make note, not complaining about scoring TD’s and a possible blow out today all on ground. Just saying for those to say today is a good warmup to PSU, won’t show us anything in pass game. That is bad with how bad it was last week. 

3 and out on D and a TD on our first drive...  time to mow the lawn. 

That might have been the best offensive drive for Shea, all season long, thus far.

I'm not a believer in sure things in regards to betting lines - but man, Michigan covering 21.5 today is looking pretty solid after the first few minutes.  Illinois looks like a poor mans Rutgers - which is saying a lot.

Imagine if the opening drive next weekend was that dominant ??

Thats pure Harbaugh Ball right there lol

My god Illinois is trash...all they have to do is stack the box and make the tackles since they’ve already got their arms on our players. 
 

Looks like Rutgers 2.0

Shame cause I was really hoping we’d see some actual reads by the QB this week...never gonna happen if our backs can break a million tackles and waltz into the end zone 

Calling a Lavert pick on this drive.

Corbin is fast.

Its not we are lights out on the run today. 

My early bet: Illinois pulls every single play out of their playbook, just in case something works.

Calling a DPJ touchdown return.

My brother benzolamas is at the game!

Windy. 

We probably won't see a Michigan pass all game.

Probably won't need to.

Gotta be better on fielding punts.  No excuses. Play championship level football.

#EXPECT VICTORY 

Why is Hill out?

That punt return could have been better...
