TWTW: Michigan Holds Off Illini In 3OT

((HT: WUPW-TV Toledo))

Go ahead, make your jokes...

Well, because, we have already... and what you've thought of, we've probably heard...

67-65, three overtimes, Illinois missed a three-pointer at the buzzer, the game was played at Crisler Arena, wasn't it...???

Yup... heard them all... and from folks more experienced than you at this...

It was the highest scoring game in the history of Michigan football- 132 points. The previous highest scoring Big Ten game also involved Michigan. They shut out Michigan Agricultural College - now known as Michigan State - 119-0 in 1902.

The last FBS game to produce more points was when Navy beat North Texas 74-62 on November 10, 2007, according to STATS, LLC. The previous Michigan record for total points wasn't nearly as dramatic, beating West Virginia 130-0 in 1904.

Roy Roundtree had a field day on the Illinois defense- he had a school-record 246 yards receiving and two TD's.

Here's the short version of the highlights...
