Jesus what a wild game...

I would never imagine a score like that.

[WingsFan]

Not that much of a stretch considering triple OT with two teams with no D. Michigan fans want RichRod to do what Zook did and fire the whole defensive staff (Zook did after last year) ...? Wow didn't that help Illinois a lot of good.

Its a stretch... 67-65 is a damn college basketball score.

WXYZ Sports Director Don Shane is in good spirits and recovering well after being run over on the sideline by Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier during the Wolverines win against Illinois.

During the Wolverines final drive, Forcier was forced out of bounds and then pushed directly into Shane, who was standing on the sideline preparing for his postgame coverage.

Don suffered a split lip that required stitches and he hit his head on the ground as he fell. He was cared for by Michigan's medical staff after the game. He went through a series of concussion tests and received four stitches in his upper lip.

Determined to complete his postgame duty, Don conducted interviews and shared some laughs with Forcier, who felt terrible about the incident. You can watch the interview in the player to the left.

He was driven home by longtime friend Jim Brandstatter and will be monitored throughout the evening.

Yes it is a basketball score, :-) but most thought they would score in the 30s. They scored in the 40s and happen to be tied, 3 TDs each in 3 -OTs

Denard on defense? Please. I agree that his future at QB on the next level is about 0.00001% but he'll be on offense as a slot guy or scat back.

You don't waste this type of offensive talent but sticking him at corner.

Strange as it seems, the winning team defense was on the field for the last play.

Kirk Herbstreit: "If the head coaching position opens up at Michigan Jim Harbaugh will be the head coach in Ann Arbor."

[Drew]

Herbkirk can stfu.

[WingsFan]

Yep, there went Harbaugh

[Kstat]

Really, can he be more of a transparent asshole? The only coaching news he breaks are U-M ones.

[WingsFan]

I like Herbstreit, he's just screwing (Les Miles/Jim Harbaugh) Michigan over again.

[gjdodger]

If he is so all-knowing, he should know whether or not the Michigan coaching job will open up, and not base his prediction on some uncertain chain of events.

Afaik, illinois had been allowing 16 ppg before yesterday.

There have been a lot of stories over the past week to the effect that RichRod has forced this defensive alignment on Robinson. I presume Robinson or someone else on his staff--"You didn't hear this from me"--was fighting back against Rodriguez' assertion in his press conference that he's not responsible for what the defense does.
