Postgame Notes: #3 Michigan 19, Illinois 17

• Today's win marks Michigan's first 11-0 start since the 2006 season (11-2) and third in the last 25 years (1997, 12-0).

• The Wolverines improved to 72-23-2 in 98 all-time against Illinois with six straight wins in the series.

• U-M has won 15 consecutive home games, the longest active streak in the Big Ten.

• The game-winning field goal was delivered courtesy of Jake Moody. It was Moody's fourth successful conversion on the day, matching the single-season record for most field goals made in a season at Michigan (25; Remy Hamilton, 1994).
