Luke Altmyer threw for a touchdown and ran for another, leading No. 22 Illinois to a 21-7 victory over No. 24 Michigan on Saturday.
The Illini wore 1924 throwback uniforms to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Red Grange's six-touchdown performance against Michigan on the day Memorial Stadium was dedicated.
Tanner Arkin caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Altmyer in the second quarter and raced 36 yards on a fake punt in the third to set up Altmyer's 1-yard TD run.
Illinois 6-1, 3-1 Big Ten beat Michigan for the first time since 2009. The Illini had lost six straight to the Wolverines 4-3, 2-2.
Defending national champion Michigan scored its fewest points since 2014 and has lost back-to-back games for the first time since 2020.
