How to watch Michigan vs. Illinois.

No. 3 Michigan (6–0) aims to stay undefeated on Saturday against Illinois (2–4). 

The Wolverines play host in Ann Arbor and have been the class of the conference so far, as head coach Jim Harbaugh leads a program revival. Jabrill Peppers has starred on the defensive end and Wilton Speight directs the offense for Michigan, which draws a struggling Illinois team in what should by all accounts be a very winnable game.
