Meek: For Michigan, the game before The Game brings a scare, then relief
New York TimesANN ARBOR, Mich. – For much of this season, Blake Corum has carried Michigan on his back with the strength of a weightlifter loading plates on a squat rack. To state the obvious, it’s hard to imagine Michigan beating Ohio State without Corum at full health, or close to it. A lot of the same things were said about Michigan’s passing game a year ago, and the Wolverines still hung 42 on Ohio State. We love to do it and inflict our force on any opponent we play.” With 45 yards on 19 attempts in the second half, Michigan wasn’t inflicting much force on Illinois after Corum went down. The fact that Michigan and Ohio State both struggled Saturday as big favorites — the Buckeyes pulled away late to win 43-30 at Maryland — shows that getting to 11-0 isn’t easy.
