Blake Corum does Blake Corum

Blake Corum hasn’t been held under 100 yards rushing yet this season in a Big Ten game and I don’t think that  Illinois will be the first one to do that.

Jalen Berger ran for 81 yards on 15 carries two weeks ago and Michigan State’s running game isn’t anything like Michigan’s. Nebraska also had success running against Illinois as Anthony Grant got more than five yards per attempt.

Iowa and Penn State were both supposed to have elite run defenses and Michigan football went for over 400 yards against Penn State.

It would be nice to give Corum a break but it’s probably not going to happen. I would expect at least 20 carries for Corum, a touchdown, and over 100 yards once again.
