Donovan’s stats vs. Ohio State:

Edwards did a great job of manning the backfield with Blake Corum still recovering from a knee injury. Corum suffered the injury against Illinois in Week 12.
Thanks in part to the play of Edwards, Michigan went on beat Ohio State 45-23. The Wolverines will now face Purdue in the B1G Championship before waiting to see where the College Football Playoff committee ranks them.
Edwards might get called on to handle the majority of carries in the backfield once again if Corum isn’t at 100%.
