Entering his final game at Michigan Stadium, running back Blake Corum was prepared for an emotional experience. It marked not only his farewell appearance at the Big House wearing the iconic winged helmet but also a unique opportunity to participate in the renowned sports rivalry in peak physical condition.

Reflecting on the significance of the moment, Corum expressed, “Last two years – sophomore year, a little banged up with the ankle, last year tried but couldn’t, so this game means a lot. Not only is it my first time being healthy, but it’s going to be my last in the Big House, playing in front of the best fanbase with my brothers and the best coaches. So I’m super excited, to say the least.”

– With 53 career rushing touchdowns, Corum now holds the second position on the career rushing scores list, trailing only Anthony Thomas (55).
– As the sole player in the FBS to score in every game this season, Corum continues to make a consistent impact.
