Michigan star tailback Blake Corum has been ruled out for the remainder of the Wolverines’ season prior to the Big 10 Championship Game against Purdue. Corum suffered a knee injury in Michigan’s second-to-last game of the regular season against Illinois before rushing only twice against Ohio State. He’ll undergo surgery after spending a large portion of the season as a top three Heisman Trophy Candidate.
