==College career==
Lilja attended Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park, Illinois where he was both a baseball and football standout before enrolling at the University of Michigan.〔 Lilja played center for the Michigan Wolverines from 1979-1980. At 6'4" and 260 pounds, Lilja started 24 straight games at center during his junior and senior seasons. As a senior in 1980, Lilja received numerous awards and honors, including being named the team's co-captain (with Anthony Carter), receiving the University's Myer Morton Award (given by the M Club of Chicago for the football player who shows the greatest development and most promise as a result of spring practice), and being named a first-team All American by Walter Camp. He was named second-team All-American and All Big Ten by a numerous sports news organizations.〔 He is one of eleven centers to become an All-American for Michigan football. The 1979 team played in the Gator Bowl, and the 1980 Big Ten Conference Champions played in the 1981 Rose Bowl.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Michigan's Bowl History )〕 The 1981 Rose Bowl marked the first bowl game victory for Bo Schembechler.
Lilja wore #59 for the Wolverines while redshirting as a junior varsity player in 1976 and for four years as a varsity player from 1977-1980. During the 1980 Purdue game, Lilja's jersey was ripped to the point where he could not go back out and play. When the equipment staff could not locate his backup jersey, they ripped the jersey of freshman center Doug James, put it on Lilja, and sent him back into the game wearing James' jersey. After the game, James got calls from friends expressing surprise that the freshman had gotten playing time in a big game.
Lilja's last game for Michigan was the 1981 Rose Bowl, which the Wolverines won 23-6, over Washington. Teammate Brad Bates later recalled: "I was walking off the field with George Lilja, and he said, 'Let's turn around for a Kodak moment,' . . . 'You could see that big orange backdrop against the mountains. This was Bo's first bowl victory.".
