Michigan v.s. Illinois, the think I think about it

On Saturday Michigan played versus Illinois at the Big House. Michigan won in triple overtime but it was  very close. Final score, 67-65. 


On the first play from scrimmage Denard (or Shoelace) passed to Roy Roundtree, who scored on a 75 yard TOUCHDOWN. Michigan 7-0. Illinois' turn. They drive but are held to a FG and we're still up. Uncle Jeff counted that as half a stop. Illinois fumbles, Denard throws a pic and once more Illinois settles for a FG. Michigan 7-6. Another pic from Denard leads Illinois to a TOUCHDOWN. 2-point conversion is GOOD. 14-7. This game is so crazy that I can't keep track of all the scores but I'll show some highlights.


4th and 9 for Michigan on the Illinois 33. They go for it and TOUCHDOWN!!! ROY ROUNDTREE!!!!!


3rd down for Michigan Denard passes to Hemmingway, Houdini play on the sideline, Illinois forgets to tackle and TOUCHDOWN!!!!


Illinois 3rd and 6, Sheelhaase on the run, and Avery just kills him short of the 1st down. Illinois then MISSES A FG


Forcier throws a few yards into the end zone and TOUCHDOWN!!! MICHIGAN, STONTUM  with an in the air catch to tie this ballgame up.


Scheelhaase going for the 2-point conversion... And he's SACKED BY MOUTON!!!! MICHIGAN WINS!!!!! AND MICHIGAN WILL GO TO A BOWL!!!!!
