Ann Arbor — Moments after Blake Corum had capped a career-best performance Saturday against Maryland, he stood on the Michigan sideline receiving congratulations from some of his teammates and coaches.
They were laughing and joking, and at one point, Corum paused and playfully mimicked the “night-night” celebration made famous by NBA star Steph Curry, clasping his hands together and pressing them against his tilted head.
He’d put this one to bed, all right, breaking off a 47-yard touchdown run with 3:31 to play to put the Wolverines’ Big Ten opener out of reach. And given the work he’d put in Saturday, shouldering the load for Michigan’s offense with a career-high 30 carries for 243 yards and two scores, no one could blame him if it was also a sign he could use some rest himself.
