Blake Corum hits the century mark

As good as I think McCarthy will be on Monday night, Blake Corum is going to be even better. I thought he deserved the Rose Bowl MVP award. He caught a touchdown pass and came up with a key play on fourth-and-two. His 17-yard touchdown run in overtime was also a game-clincher.

Jalen Milroe had an explosive run in overtime too, but he was tackled. Corum wasn't and that proved to be the difference in the game.

This Huskies defense isn't Alabama though. It also isn't as good as Ohio State or Penn State. Michgan ran for over 130 yards against each of those defenses and in every big game this season, Blake Corum has risen to the occasion and he will on Monday night.

Washington has allowed 4.4 yards per attempt this season in the running game and this Michigan offensive line is healthy. So is Corum, which means Blake The Great has a big night.

Flat out, if Michigan wins the game, Corum will be the MVP.
