Illinois didn’t have much to celebrate in Saturday’s blowout loss to Michigan.

But the Illini did have an impressive pass-and-catch for a touchdown from Jeff George Jr. to Malik Turner:

It was the first score the Wolverines defense had allowed since the third quarter against Wisconsin on Oct. 1. It was also the first TD pass for George, who was named the starter early Saturday after Wes Lunt and Chayce Crouch were listed out for the contest.

At least Illinois was able to put something on the scoreboard.
