Jeff Brohm is well aware of just how dangerous the Michigan running game can be. Brohm discussed this at his weekly press conference on Monday.

Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards are a force to be  reckoned with in the Michigan backfield. Both have proven just how deadly they can be this season. Edwards is coming off of a 216 yards rushing performance against Ohio State.

Brohm thinks that the key to slowing them down is to eliminate the big plays.

“I think both these rbs are two of the best in the country and they’ve proved it week in and week out. That creates a lot of problems and will be very challenging for us. We have to find a way to be physical at the point of attack, be physical in the box but not abandon our pass defense.

“We have to eliminate the big plays,” said Brohm.

It’ll be a tough task to stop both Corum and Edwards if they are healthy. Kickoff from Indianapolis will be Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.
