IlliniGuys Mike Cagley @MikeCagley, and Brad Sturdy @Sturdy32 talk about the Illini win over Michigan. It's not often you beat a preseason Top 5 team by 15. Even though Michigan is a young team, they have a ton of talent and the Illini defense did an excellent job of holding them to 53 points. If it's a B1G win and it's by 15 points, it's a big win!
The game featured an amazing performance by the Illini's Big 3 - Kofi Cockburn @kxng_alpha, Trent Frazier @trentfrazier and Alfonso Plummer @AlfonsoPlummer9.
