Ann Arbor — For the bulk of this season, Michigan’s offense centered around leading rusher Blake Corum, who plowed his way through defenses and built a case to be in the Heisman Trophy conversation.
Now, the Wolverines, preparing to play in the Big Ten championship, must switch gears as Corum is expected to have knee surgery and the remainder of the postseason, a source confirmed to The Detroit News. Ian Rapoport of NFL.com was the first to report the news on Thursday.
Unbeaten Michigan, No. 2 in the College Football Rankings, is the defending Big Ten champions and will face Purdue (8-4) in the title game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday.
