The Michigan-Illinois deck
Drew Henson
Henson's presence immediately changed the tone of the game. He stepped onto the field for the first time this season and drove 52 yards in one minute.
Henson's Illinois stats: 8-for-17, 141 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT
John Navarre
Pulled after giving up a one touchdown lead, Navarre's performance was overshadowed by the quarterback who will replace him for the rest of the season.
Navarre's Illinois stats: 4-for-11, 31 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT
Kurt Kittner
If Kittner sprained an ankle against Cal., no one could tell on Saturday. His performance made him look like one of the Big Ten's elite quarterbacks.
Kittner's Illinois stats: 27-for-38, 352 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT
Anthony Thomas
228 yards and two touchdowns. That's all that one needs to describe Thomas' dominating performance against Illinois.
Thomas' Illinois stats: 228 yards, 2 TD, 6.5 avg.
Rockey Harvey
One of Illinois' two-running back attack, Harvey was victim to an Illini squad that loved the pass on Saturday.
Harvey's Illinois stats: 34 yards, 1 TD, 4.3 avg.
