No. 22 Illinois Beats No. 24 Michigan 21-7 for First Time Since 2009, Becomes Bowl Eligible
Oct 19, 2024, 11:04 PM
No. 22 Illinois defeated No. 24 Michigan 21-7 in Champaign, marking their first victory over Michigan since 2009. With this win, the Fighting Illini improved to 6-1 on the season and became bowl eligible, securing a bonus of at least $25,000 for coach Bret Bielema. Illinois is now 3-1 against AP Top 25 teams this season, a significant improvement considering they were 2-32 in their previous 34 games against ranked opponents. The Illini, led by a solid defense and smart quarterback play, have demonstrated a resurgence under Bielema's leadership with a physical football team. Fans stormed the field as Illinois secured the victory, and the team even trolled Michigan by playing 'Mr. Brightside' during a late timeout.
