Blake Corum will go down as one of the all-time legendary running backs at Michigan. He added another program record to his tally on Saturday with a short touchdown run against Ohio State.
In the first quarter of The Game, Corum punched in a short rushing touchdown on 4th-and-goal to give Michigan the 7-0 lead early. It’s a sight Wolverine fans have become accustomed to throughout Corum’s career, and his latest touchdown was the 21st rushing score of the season.
That gives Corum the single-season mark for the Wolverines, breaking a tie with Hassan Haskins who delivered 20 during the 2021 season.

Haskins punctuated his 2021 performance with 5 rushing touchdowns and 169 yards against Ohio State in The Game. At the end of the first quarter, Corum had just 13 yards but the early touchdown with the Wolverines grabbing a 7-3 lead at the end of the quarter.
Can Corum add to his record with a big outing against the Buckeyes?
