Edwards and Corum made it on the list after the running backs electric performances.
Edwards recorded 173 yards and 2 touchdowns in the 41-17 win and Corum picked up 166 yards as well as a pair of touchdowns. The two combined for 339 rushing yards.
Corum has been on a tear for Michigan so far this season. He’s picked up 901 yards to go along with 13 touchdowns. Edwards has had a quieter season, but Saturday could have been the spark he needed. He’s picked up 307 yards and 4 touchdowns on the season.
The list otherwise was dominated by Tennessee and Utah. Tennessee picked up its first win over Alabama in 16 years, led by the duo of Hendon Hooker and Jalin Hyatt.
Utah picked up another solid win over USC Saturday, and receiver Dalton Kincaid and running back Cameron Rising made their way onto the list.
