J.D. Carlson tied a school record with five field goals as No. 19 Michigan defeated No. 17 Illinois, 22-17, in a Big Ten game Saturday at Ann Arbor, Mich. Carlson equaled the mark set by Mike Gillette in a 22-7 win over Minnesota on Nov. 5, 1988. His 51-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter bounced off the crossbar and through the uprights. The Wolverines, 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big Ten, led 19-3 after three quarters and got a key interception by Vada Murray at their own two-yard line with six minutes remaining.

It was the second consecutive loss for the Fighting Illini (6-3, 4-2) who have lost five in a row to Michigan and haven’t won at Ann Arbor since 1966. Carlson kicked field goals of 28, 51, 19, 18 and 18 yards. Freshman Ricky Powers, who ran for 113 yards in 23 carries, had a three-yard run for Michigan’s only touchdown.

Shawn Wax, who had four catches for 64 yards, caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from Verduzco and Wax tossed a 26-yard scoring strike to Steven Mueller for the Illini, whose other points came on a 32-yard field goal by Doug Higgins. Michigan had 432 yards, 303 on the ground. The Illini, held to 13 first downs and possession time of 20:04, had 215 yards.
