Corum was also asked about his knee after missing almost all of the second half of the 19-16 home win over Illinois in Week 12. Corum responded to the Detroit News that he is good and plans to be back.
Corum is having a Heisman Trophy-like performance this season as he has rushed for 1,457 yards and 18 touchdowns on 245 carries. He has 8 games this season where he has rushed for over 100 yards.
No. 3 Michigan is set to go on the road in Week 13 as they take on No. 2 Ohio State in The Game. Michigan will need Corum at 100% or near to potentially win the East division and secure a spot in the B1G Championship.
