Summary

All-American linebacker J Leman joins Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner to break down Illinois football's 19-17 loss at No. 3 Michigan. Leman discusses what led to the Illini loss, including questionable officiating, special teams miscues and a conservative play call late. But Leman also highlights some big positives, including great play in the trenches and the Illini stars shining. Leman then looks ahead to the season finale against Northwestern and whether this season will be thought of as a "What if" season.
