If Illinois was expecting Ayo to play tonight then I can’t see tonight going well for them. That’s a pretty big let down

Zay needs to make sure he and his brothers don’t let down knowing Ayo is definitely out. GO BLUE!

Really wish he was playing. There is no benefit to us of him not playing.

Definitely disappointing. I feel bad for Ayo, has to be tough for him.

i really feel like they’ve known for a bit he wouldn’t go tonight and held it as long as they could. just a gut feeling, not based on anything. why not try to keep michigan in the dark as long as possible so they don’t know what to gameplan for.
