Blake Corum caps strong opening drive by punching in 1-yard TD

No. 3 Michigan went 75 yards in 7 plays to start the Week 12 battle against Illinois Saturday afternoon.
Blake Corum was the catalyst of that drive. His first rush of the game was a 35+ yards scamper well within Illinois territory. Quarterback JJ McCarthy set the Heisman candidate RB up in a few plays before Curm eventually punched in a 1-yard TD rush for the 7-0 lead.
Doesn’t look like the Wolverines are looking ahead to Ohio State.

There’s a long game ahead of us, but if Corum can run the ball like that all day it’s already game over.
