Blake Corum won’t be stopped

Michigan’s running game hasn’t been as productive as last season for a couple of reasons. The offensive line is still gelling and while it’s really good, it’s not quite as good as last year’s group which won the Joe Moore Award.

Blake Corum has also been coming back from surgery. With every week, he’s looking more comfortable. His production hasn’t been an issue at all but the overall rushing numbers are down because he’s not getting very many attempts.

My guess is that Blake gets close to 20 on Saturday night. Michigan football shouldn’t mess around in this game. He was a huge driving force behind the win a year ago and I feel like he’s due for one of his explosive runs.

I’ve been saying he’ll get 100 yards for weeks now, but this week, I think he’ll get the 15-20 touches that will allow Corum to hit the century mark.
