ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Playing from behind, short-handed with key players on the sideline, Michigan relied on kicker Jake Moody to maintain the Wolverines' perfect season with all their goals still in place.
Moody made four field goals, including a game-winning 35-yard field goal with nine seconds left to lift Michigan, 19-17, over Illinois in the final game of the season at Michigan Stadium.
"Moody is money. Whenever Moody goes out on the field, all the nerves calm down," nose tackle Mazi Smith said on UM radio after the game.
