The No. 25 Michigan Wolverines are looking for their first 3-0 start to a season since 2017. Michigan is off to a solid start against Northern Illinois. Michigan went into halftime with a 35-3 lead over Northern Illinois.

In their first drive of the third quarter, Michigan tacked on the scoreboard again with a 51-yard run from running back Blake Corum. The sophomore running back took the handoff and quickly ran to the outside where his speed and elusiveness were too much for the Huskies defense to catch up to.

Corum made several defenders fall to the ground as he added a 42-3 lead over Northern Illinois 42-3.

The Michigan running back has been outstanding through the first three games of the season.
