Michigan survives scare by Illini

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan survived two scares Saturday.

Jake Moody kicked a goahead 35-yard field goal with nine seconds left, lifting the third-ranked Wolverines past Illinois 19-17.

Michigan (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) played much of the second half without star running back Blake Corum, who sustained a left knee injury just before halftime and had only one second-half carry.

X-rays gave coach Jim Harbaugh and his players relief. “Structurally good, which is great news,” Harbaugh said.

Corum had 108 yards rushing and his 19th TD this season on 18 carries. The Heisman Trophy hopeful has run for 100 yards in eight straight games.

The Fighting Illini (7-4, 5-3) went up 17-10 late in the third quarter on Chase Brown’s 37-yard TD run. Brown had 140 yards and two scores on 29 carries.

Illinois QB Tommy Devito, a Syracuse transfer, was 21 of 30 for 178 yards on day that had a wind chill of 11 degrees and wind gusting to 18 mph.
