With two games left in the regular season, Michigan will host its final game in the Big House on Saturday. The Wolverines will welcome 7-3 Illinois into Michigan Stadium in hopes of keeping their undefeated season alive.
Michigan, 10-0, has been dominant on both sides of the ball for most of the season. The Wolverines have a top-five run offense and the maize and blue have the No. 1 defense in the country.
The Illini have dropped two straight games against Michigan State and Purdue. But Illinois was on the brink of being a top-10 team in the country a few weeks ago. The Illini are in a four-team tie for first place in the Big Ten West, and Illinois needs to win out if it hopes to make it to Indianapolis.
Michigan has not played Illinois since 2019 when it won 42-25, but the Wolverines have won the past five meetings between the two schools. Michigan has dominated the series. The Wolverines lead the all-time series 71-23-2.
