With just two games left in the season, Michigan football will host its last game of the year in the Big House on Saturday.
The Wolverines will take on the Illinois Fighting Illini (7-3). Michigan has dominated the series’ history. The maize and blue hold a 71-23-2 all-time record against the Illini, and Michigan has won five-straight games against the West division foe.
The last meeting between the two schools came in 2019 when Michigan defeated the Illini, 42-25.
This is almost a must-win situation for Illinois if it wants to win the West. The Fighting Illini are in a four-team tie for the lead in the West. With Illinois losing to Purdue last weekend, the Boilermakers hold a tiebreaker over the Illini.
Bret Bielema had his weekly press conference on Monday and talked about the status of his star running back, Chase Brown, and what he thinks of Michigan.
