Welcome in to the online acquire podcast. It is Jeremy Warner, Joey Wagner, Memorial Stadium, where we saw another field rushing just as many bodies

if I have ever seen Joey on the Memorial Stadium turf after that one. As Illinois fans

turned the centennial celebration of Memorial Stadium into the biggest win of the Brett Bielma era,

we can answer that question later, but 217 Illinois defeats number 24, Michigan.

The line I will raise in the rankings after this big victory on national television, Joey,

wearing these red grange jerseys. Illinois clinches bill eligibility, which just feels like a footnote in all of this.

But this had so much buildup to potentially be a great moment for the program.

And let's be honest, Illinois never trailed.

And I thought they dominated this game.

And they looked like the better team.

So what a big moment, Joey, what stood out to you or what does this moment mean?

Do you think for the line?

First of all, I'm with you. Like I did think they dominated this game. Even at half. Joey, what stood out to you or what does this moment mean, do you think, for the line?

First of all, I'm with you. Like, I did think they dominated this game. Even at half, it was 13 to 7, and it felt like it should have been 19. I know someone will ask about the fourth down call. We'll get into that later. But there wasn't a point really where you thought, I don't know about this. Elmore just played really well in the trenches, something we hadn't seen consistently done for both sides of the ball all season. I guess maybe the only point was Michigan got the ball to start the third. And you thought if they scored there, then things get really interesting. And we'll see how they bounce out of this. But the defense buckled down down and they gave, you know, it's interesting.

I was thinking about this on our way up here.

After the Kansas game, and I still think we were right, like the moment after that game did matter to have a ranked win.

It just didn't age well.

This game, like we talked about it on Thursday.

The thought was, you know, you'd heard, Illinois real is Illinois real their FPI was in the 50s according to ESPN and the resume just

didn't have that that headliner so the takeaway is like they get that headliner and another

moment like they had another moment at Memorial Stadium.

You can see it's happening here, right?
