Dixon's dual threat dominance propels Michigan to 56-0 victory over Illinois
ANN ARBOR -- Long viewed as one of the most under-developed talents in the Big Ten, QB Ray Dixon is finally emerging under the tutelage of head coach Jon Landrum. Dixon's talents were on full display against Illinois, as the senior threw for 294 yards and 2 TD's and ran for another 112 yards and 3 TD's.
Michigan's defense was just as impressive, holding the Illini to just 25 yards of total offense. Sophomore Joseph Green led the way with 3 sacks, with junior Lamar Green adding 2.
