What was supposed to be a two-headed rushing attack for Michigan has, due to injury, become a one-man show. No problem. Blake Corum has done the work of two running backs. The junior was given more responsibility in recent weeks and, well, ran with it. It culminated in a career performance on Saturday against Maryland in which Corum ran for 243 yards on 30 carries, both personal bests. "The vision, the low center of gravity…and the real key to his success is just how close he can get to a defender and then (make them) miss by the narrowest of margins," Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said. "He sees the holes that a lot of people don't see," said safety Rod Moore. "It's super special being able to block for him," added lineman Zak Zinter. Corum is turning heads - of defenders, his coaches and teammates, and anyone who's seen him play this season. He's a big reason why Michigan is 4-0 and has scored more points than any of the other 130 FBS teams. - Ann Arbor News

Blake Corum rushed for a career-high 243 yards and two touchdowns and No. 4 Michigan topped Maryland 34-27 in the Big Ten opener for both teams on Saturday. Corum, who tied the school record with five rushing touchdowns against UConn a week earlier, had a career-high 30 carries. He became the first Michigan back to rush for 200 yards since Karan Higdon in 2017. J.J. McCarthy completed 18 of 26 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns for the Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten). Taulia Tagovailoa completed 20 of 30 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown but was also picked off twice for the Terrapins (3-1, 0-1).

McCarthy hit Roman Wilson with a 20-yard scoring pass 44 seconds into the fourth quarter to give Michigan a 24-13 lead. Tagovailoa's 4-yard touchdown pass to Tai Felton with 9:10 left cut the Wolverines' lead to five points. The 2-point conversion attempt failed. Jake Moody's 38-yard field goal gave the Wolverines an eight-point cushion. Corum broke free on a 47-yard touchdown run with 3:31 remaining to make it 34-19. CJ Dippre caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Maryland backup quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. with 45 seconds left. Michigan held a 17-13 halftime advantage. - Michigan/AP College Football

Blake Corum rushed for a career-high four touchdowns in the first half and added a fifth score in the third quarter to match a school record, helping No. 4 Michigan rout Connecticut 59-0 Saturday. The Wolverines (3-0) led 38-0 at halftime before coasting in the second half of a game that looked a lot like their first two tune-ups, when they beat Colorado State 51-7 and Hawaii 56-10. The Huskies (1-3) had just 64 yards of offense in the first half, had a punt blocked and gave up a punt return for a touchdown over the opening 30 minutes. J.J. McCarthy was 15 of 18 for 214 yards, a week after coach Jim Harbaugh said he had won the quarterback competition.

Big Ten championship-winning quarterback Cade McNamara entered late in the first half and was roughed up. He was sacked on the first snap and was hit hard just after completing his only pass attempt. McNamara did not appear to be with his teammates on the sideline in the second half. Without the senior available in the lopsided game, Harbaugh gave several reserve quarterbacks a chance to play. Corum started the scoring barrage with a 20-yard run on the game's opening drive and had three 1-yard scores before halftime. His 11-yard touchdown late in the third quarter tied the single-game school record set by Ron Johnson in 1968 and equaled by Hassan Haskins in last year's win over Ohio State. Connecticut freshman Zion Turner was 4 of 16 for 17 yards and had 42 yards rushing. The Huskies finished with just 110 yards of offense, going 2 for 14 on third down and earning just six first downs. - Michigan/AP College Football

"I don't have an update," Harbaugh said. - Ann Arbor News

The Wolverines rolled to 588 yards in total offense, 320 in the air and 268 on the ground. Previous week, No. 28: Michigan gained 440 total yards, with 234 of that on the ground, but left tackle Ryan Hayes had nothing to do with it. In a surprise, he was in street clothes on the sideline. The Wolverines also lost Karson Barnhart in the first quarter and shifted their line, moving guard Trevor Keegan to tackle and inserting freshman Giovanni El-Hadi at guard. No problem. Michigan scored four touchdowns rushing, surrendered just one sack and allowed two hurries. Coach Jim Harbaugh pointed out that the unit accounted for just one penalty, a hold, and "No false starts, no delay of games." He stopped short of saying it was due to good coaching. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

09/11/22 - J.J. McCarthy, Jr/2024, Michigan, 6-3, 219 (DS#4 QB) + More +

J.J. McCarthy did enough to win the job. McCarthy was sharp in his first start, throwing for three touchdowns to help No. 4 Michigan overwhelm Hawaii 56-10 on Saturday night. Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh said McCarthy will be the team's first-string quarterback next week against Connecticut. "He's earned it," Harbaugh said. McCarthy had his turn to take the first snap after Big Ten championship-winning quarterback Cade McNamara had a lackluster performance in the season-opening win over Colorado State as the starter. The sophomore made the most of his opportunity against the Rainbow Warriors, throwing a 42-yard touchdown pass to Roman Wilson on his second snap and 13-yard pass to Ronnie Bell early in the second quarter to give the Wolverines (2-0) a four-touchdown lead. "It was a near-flawless performance," Harbaugh said. "He was 11 for 12, and one was dropped." McNamara entered the game with 6:22 left in the first half and took a sack to end his first possession.

McCarthy went back in and threw for his third score, dropping back and stepping up in the pocket before connecting with Cornelius Johnson for a 17-yard touchdown late in the first half to give Michigan a 42-0 lead. "I can't remember having one like that myself," said Harbaugh, a former Michigan and NFL quarterback. McCarthy, a former five-star recruit, finished 11 of 12 for 229 yards without a turnover. "He controlled the game," said Blake Corum, who ran for 88 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. "He was confident. I expected nothing less." McNamara started the second half and the senior finished 4 of 6 for 26 yards with an interception. "He's got gravel in his guts," Harbaugh said. "He'll be ready for his next opportunity." - Michigan/AP College Football

08/29/22 - Olusegun Oluwatimi, rSr/2023, Michigan, 6-3, 309 (DS#5 C) + More +

Learning the playbook, sure, that was a big deal for Michigan center Olu Oluwatimi, a graduate transfer from Virginia, who from all accounts had a solid grasp of it during spring practice after his January enrollment. But meshing with a new team, that was the challenge. It's one thing to be the new guy in a position group, but when the position is offensive line, which is all about the cohesiveness of the starting five, fitting in quickly is key.

That was Oluwatimi's real challenge. "As offensive linemen, it's not just you," Oluwatimi said Tuesday during a news conference. "I've got my left guard and right guard next to me. A lot of this game, to be good at offensive line is anticipation. If a blitzer is coming, be able to leave a second early and trust that your guard is going to be there. Being able to figure that out with the guys around me, I felt like that was more of a challenge than learning the playbook." But Oluwatimi has been successful at both. He knows the playbook, and the team, the offensive linemen, they know him now. He developed relationships by hanging out with the linemen, playing video games and enjoying meals together. It was a win-win for both sides. Oluwatimi was looking for a situation that might best prepare him for the NFL, and he saw that in Michigan's offensive line, which won the Joe Moore Award last season as the nation's top line. And Michigan was looking for a boost at center. He started three seasons at Virginia, was one of three Rimington Award finalists as the nation's top center last year, so he arrived at Michigan in January with a resume that turned heads. - Detroit News

Michigan running back Blake Corum didn't set out to add weight in the offseason, but he's preparing for the upcoming season and an even bigger workload with about 10 extra pounds. Corum, a 5-foot-8 junior, is now 212 pounds, in large part because of eating right and hydrating better, not to mention he has always been known for his tireless work in the weight room. He looks bigger and fit, and during a news conference Friday, he said he feels good at this weight. "If anything, I feel faster," Corum said. "It doesn't change my game at all. Maybe bring a little more power, a little more weight with it." Last season, he was part of the backfield duo with the hard-running Hassan Haskins, whose 20 rushing touchdowns set a program single-season record. They called themselves, "Thunder and Lightning," with Corum the latter because of his breakaway speed.

Corum was on pace for a 1,000-yard season, but a high-ankle sprain late in the schedule forced him to miss the better part of three regular-season games. In 12 games, he had 143 carries for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also had 24 catches for 141 yards and a touchdown. Corum was voted third-team All-Big Ten by the coaches. Heading into this season, it's about Corum and also sophomore Donovan Edwards, who gained valuable experience last season as a freshman. He rushed for 174 yards and three touchdowns on 35 carries, and he also had 20 receptions for 265 yards and one touchdown. - Detroit News
