Don't be fooled by Illinois' 0-5 record and 11.9 PPG. This team is actually pretty terrible. On Michigan's 2nd play from scrimmage SR WR Jeremy Gallon caught a screen pass 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage and took it 70 yards for a 66 yard TD reception. Things only got worse for Illinois from there en route to a 59-0 drubbing.

I go on and on about how studly SO WR Greg Banks is (he caught 3 balls for 136 yards and 2 TDs) and the following highlight shows what an all around awesome player he is. Don't watch the WR who catches the pass (#18), but check out Banks (#1) on the right of the screen. First he pancakes his defender, then he runs downfield and takes another defender out of the play. Gallon gets the 66 yard TD reception, but without Banks, this is a 3 yard completion.

Michigan's starters only played a half in this one as they took a 35-0 lead into the half thanx to 369 yards of total offense. Charles threw for a Michigan record 5 TD passes (on only 7 completions!) including 66 and 85 yarders. 6 players rushed for at least 20 yards. Michigan's defense only allowed 117 total yards. With the 2nd team, FR phenom Lamont West carried the ball 6 times for 44 yards and 2 TDs.

Next Michigan will take on the Boilermakers of Purdue.
