Five Key Plays: Illinois at Michigan
1. Evan Smotrycz’s 12-point first half paces Michigan early
It’s no secret that Evan Smotrycz has struggled as of late. Since the Big Ten season began, the sophomore has notched a double digit point-total just once — a 10-point game at Purdue on Jan. 24.

"I Love You Denard"
Denard Robinson is a darn good athlete. He's one of the better playmakers in college football. But, if you make him beat you with his arm, you'll be in decent shape and your fanbase will get some chuckles from his errant passes.And while this song by Mind's Eyes was probably (HOPEFULLY) written for chuckles. These guys have taken man love to a whole new level. I'm...
