Michigan running back Blake Corum turned in a monster performance on the ground in a tight win over Maryland, and the Wolverines needed it in a big way. Corum rushed for 243 yards in Michigan’s 34-27 victory at home against the Terrapins. Coming into the weekend, Corum’s season-high was 88 yards in a win against Hawaii. This was the first time Michigan needed their starters to play the entire game, and Corum showed no sign of slowing down.
As a result, Corum rockets up the big Ten rushing leaderboard this week, but everyone in the conference is still trying to catch up to Illinois junior Chase Brown, who is the first to cross the 600-yard mark this season.
Here is the updated look at the top 10 rushing yardage leaders in the Big Ten as we begin to move into October.
