In a season where Donovan Edwards seemed to be fading into the background, Monday night’s game against the Washington Huskies in the National Championship marked an electrifying resurgence for the junior.
Edwards, who had been experiencing a lackluster year, reminded everyone of his game-changing ability with a performance reminiscent of his heroics against Ohio State, Iowa and TCU last season.
When Blake Corum went down with a year-ending injury against Illinois in 2022, Edwards was thrust into the spotlight where he lit up the stat sheet. In that game against the Buckeyes, Edwards — playing with a cast on his right hand — ripped off 85- and 75-yard touchdown runs in the fourth quarter to lead the Wolverines to a 45-23.
