Blake Corum is Michigan’s workhorse

Week after week, we wonder if Michigan will take a bit of the burden off of junior running back Blake Corum, who’s been an absolute workhorse during the Big Ten season, carrying 25 or more times in all but one game and 20-plus times in each contest.

That hasn’t happened yet, and Corum, a Heisman Trophy contender, actually limped off the field on a couple occasions during his 28-carry, 162-yard, 1-touchdown performance.

“A minor tweak. I shake it off real quick. It feels better,” Corum said with his signature smirk.

Easier said than done, but nothing Corum has done this season has come easy. The same can be said of his 162 yards, with Corum’s longest rush of the night being 12 yards, twice. It was death by 1,000 — er, 28 — cuts for the Nebraska defense, which allowed 264 rushing yards in the blowout loss.

Corum had to carry more of the load than the Michigan coaches likely planned, due to sophomore Donovan Edwards leaving the game in the first half and not returning. There wasn’t a postgame update on his status, after he rushed just twice for 13 yards. Both of his carries came early in the first quarter.

Corum has now gone over 1,000 yards in seven Big Ten games alone and has 1,349 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns on the year.
