2 of the nation’s Top 3 RBs are from the B1G
There’s a lot of great running backs in the B1G this season and FOX has recognized that with a brand new graphic.
Both Kenneth Walker III and Blake Corum are top 3 in the nation in terms of rushing yards from scrimmage as they’ve been freaks through the first 3 weeks of the season.

Walker III has been a revelation for the Spartans offense thus far and if he keeps this up, it won’t be long until he starts to get momentum as a Heisman candidate. His best game came against Northwestern in the Spartans season opener on Sept. 3. He finished with 264 yards on 23 carries with 4 touchdowns and averaged over 11 yards a carry.
Corum has also wowed a lot of people around college football this season and his best game thus far came against Washington in Week 2. He finished with 171 yards on 21 carries with 3 touchdowns, while also averaging 8 yards a carry.
The Spartans-Wolverines game on Oct. 30 has the chance to be special if both of these backs are healthy for it.
