Get in, get out, and stay healthy

For the love of god, please don’t run Blake Corum into the ground against Illinois.

We have been waiting and watching and hoping over the last few weeks to see Corum’s load decrease (slightly) so that he can be healthy for The Game. This is the week to do it.

Michigan football has been dealing with injuries on both lines, in the secondary, and at wide receiver.

With everything on the line this week, if there are any lingering injuries and now is not the time to make a “hurt” player continue to go out there and grind through the game.

Not only would injuries to key positions (looking at you Blake Corum) give cause for concern regarding a Michigan win this week, but it could potentially derail all hopes and dreams of a win in Columbus.

Get in, get out, and stay healthy.

In other words: handle business even if it’s not pretty and make sure the workhorses both offensively and defensively don’t get banged up.
