Jake Moody on dealing with tough kicking weather: It's not the SEC

The Michigan Wolverines survived being upset at home by Illinois on Saturday courtesy of the leg of their kicker Jake Moody. However, Moody was not done taking aim and taking shots on Saturday after the victory. After Michigan’s 19-17 victory, their senior kicker from Northville, MI, lined up and took a shot at the SEC.

“It’s not the SEC. You’ve got to deal with some tough wind conditions. It’s freezing out there,” said Moody on kicking in Nov. at Michigan.

Moody and his leg are having another strong campaign for the Wolverines. This year he is 21-26 on field goal attempts and is perfect on his extra point drives, 46-46. he also leads the NCAA in points with 131 counting the four field goals he made on Saturday to help Michigan pick up the victory and remain undefeated.

Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh provides promising update on Blake Corum’s health

With Illinois dispatched, all the attention at Michigan turns to The Game against Ohio State next weekend and, more specifically, the health of star running back Blake Corum. Corum left the game late in the first half with an apparent left knee injury before playing just a handful of snaps in the second half.

As the focal point of the Michigan offense, having Corum available against Ohio State is critical for the Wolverines. Based on what Harbaugh said Saturday after Michigan’s 19-17 win, Corum should be OK going forward but he’ll be reassessed as the week goes on.

“Got cleared to go back in and see where it is tomorrow, how it feels tomorrow,” Harbaugh said.

Harbaugh also said that Corum’s knee was “structurally good,” presumably meaning he didn’t tear or rupture any ligaments or tendons or break a bone. The exact nature of the injury is unclear.

Michigan struggled offensively without the junior running back — his backup, Donovan Edwards, did not dress for Saturday’s game — and the running backs further down the depth chart struggled to get going downhill.
