Bummer, I was just getting my hopes up for the Ohio State game.

Of all the reasons we may lose the Ohio State game, I really don't think "One of our two all-American running backs was out" is going to be the reason.  We'll miss him but even with him gone, our running backs are a strength.

I figured as much when they said high ankle sprain.  It needs to heal so he will be ready for the bowl game.

I'm sorry he won't be playing next week when he had the change to go home for the Maryland game.  We probably won't need him next week but I would like he had friends and family who wanted to see him play.

High ankle sprains take minimum 4 weeks to heal.  Corum will play in the NY6 bowl that UM locked down today.  Or Corum is going to play in the CFP.

 

Corum will definitely play in another gigantic game this season.  Just depends on how UM does against The Great Evil in 2 weeks.

I thought freep links were a no-no . Secondly they said at the beginning of this game he would miss 2 weeks . Meaning they expect or are targeting his return against osu

ESPN sideline reporter Molly McGrath reported Corum "will miss at least the next two games," meaning he will be out for the final two regular season games at Maryland and vs. Ohio State.

I agree with a poster earlier that said Molly’s statement was ambiguous. So I’m not completely giving ip on Corum for OSU. Either way, we’ll be OK with Haskins carrying the rock! Reminds me of when Mike Hart would carry so many times for M. At least that’s my recollection…

He's done that kind of stuff since Stanford. Just watch those post-game interviews where he was sitting there next to Andrew Luck. People were asking about Harbaugh's future, and he kept deflecting and telling the media to focus on the team's star player, not the head coach.

It was a different reporter when Michigan beat Nebraska and there was an overhead shot and him cheering and obviously running away from the post game interview. That was Jenny Taft I believe. He just doesn't like doing those. It was funny she went to All and still asked about the defense. I know people hate the "talk about..." question but probably the best one in that situation on the fly. Tell me about your TD.

While I'm not surprised to hear this, it sucks to hear.  Hopefully, Edwards can step it up.  He can be that speedy counter to Haskins that is so fun to watch.  Plus, he can catch the ball!

My opinion is I like the change of pace that BC gives us but HH is the bell cow.. if the ol plays like they did in the second half of this game I like our chances to make it a game against OSU.

For those who didn't follow the link:  the story says that Corum could be back for the OSU game.  The OP completely mischaracterized the story.
