Michigan running back Blake Corum had one of the more epic celebrations of the college football season on Saturday. After a touchdown run against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Corum mimicked eating corn on the cob.

Not only that, the game was in Lincoln, Nebraska, rubbing salt in the wound of Huskers fans seeing Corum and the Wolverines take a 22-16 lead with 11:12 to play in the contest.

Check it out below:

Nebraska did retake the lead four minutes later. Adrian Martinez marched the Huskers down the field on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that was capped by a Martinez five-yard rushing touchdown.

That lead, however, was short-lived. Michigan tied the game on a 31-yard Jake Moody field goal with 3:00 to play. The Wolverine re-took the lead for good with 1:24 to play on another Moody field goal.

Corum has been having a stellar season for the Wolverines and he’s a big reason why Michigan is off to a 6-0 start for the 2021 season. So far he’s racked up 521 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns on 84 carries.

The explosive sophomore shredded the Washington Huskies earlier in the season for 171 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 21 carries.

Corum and the Michigan Wolverines will face off against Northwestern next on Oct. 23.
