It’ll be Blake Corum and Hassan Haskins’ show for Michigan Saturday afternoon.
Freshman running back Donovan Edwards didn’t make the trip to East Lansing for this week’s showdown with Michigan State due to an injury. That means the Wolverines’ two-headed monster of Corum and Haskins will be the primary rushers.
#Michigan RB Donovan Edwards did not travel due to injury, according to a U-M spokesman. It will be Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum all the way.

Edwards has 2 touchdowns and 139 yards in 7 games this season. He was a highly touted 4-star recruit out of West Bloomfield, Michigan, and chose Michigan over Alabama, Notre Dame and Auburn, among many others. He had potential to be a key role player for the Wolverines this season.
Michigan intercepted Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne in the first quarter of Saturday’s matchup and Cade McNamara found Andrel Anthony for a 93-yard touchdown on the ensuing drive to take a 7-0 lead.
You can watch the rest of the game on FOX.
