We finally have a touchdown in the Michigan vs. Washington game.
Michigan running back Blake Corum looked like he was shot out of a cannon as he ran 67 yards — untouched — to the end zone to give Michigan a 10-0 lead over the Huskies.

It was a slow start to the primetime matchup. The only score of the first quarter came via a Wolverines field goal. Then, with 9:47 left in the second, Corum took the handoff to finally put 6 points on the board. He’s the game’s leading rusher with 99 yards on the ground.
Michigan currently leads Washington 10-0 with 7:53 left until halftime. It’s the first time the Wolverines and Huskies have faced off since 2002 — a 31-29 Michigan victory in Ann Arbor.
