Harbaugh was as energetic as last year - when he said his team would beat Ohio State “or die trying” - at Big Ten Media Days, with a pep in his step (and a bigger smile) fresh of doing just that, winning the Big Ten title and appearing in the College Football Playoff.
Ohio State players circling the Michigan game – ‘It’s a war’ Clayton Sayfie, The Wolverine: Twenty two Michigan football takeaways from 2022 Big Ten Media Days.Twenty two Michigan football takeaways from 2022 Big Ten Media Days.“Not just in the run game, but with some of the wide receiver screens and the bubble game on the outside. “We have to set the edge and build a wall and do a really good job with our perimeter run support,” Tucker said. And Corum put up 160 total yards against the Wildcats, including 119 yards on the ground, his fourth 100-yard game this season. He is coming off 110 yards and two touchdowns in the Wolverines’ 33-7 win over Northwestern last Saturday. Haskins has five 100-yard rushing performances in his past eight games (dating back to 2020), including three this season. And Haskins kind of is a bigger dude who falls forward a lot.” Corum's a little shiftier, but he's still got some size to him -he packs a punch. “They've got a solid O-line with two pretty good pretty backs there that kind of bring a little bit of different things to the table. “They're definitely run-heavy, and for good reason,” Henderson said of U-M’s offense. SHAWN WINDSOR: Why Michigan will beat Michigan State JEFF SEIDEL: Why Michigan State will beat Michigan MSU is averaging 121 rushing yards a game, 31st nationally. But safeties Xavier Henderson and Angelo Grose, along with nickel backs Darius Snow and Michael Dowell, chip in, too, as agile downhill tacklers who clean up missed assignments and limit second-level runs from going the distance. The Spartans allow just 4.85 yards per play, 20th best in the FBS. MSU defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton and defensive line coach Ron Burton have built a strong front, particularly in the interior of the line. "And they both have the natural, God-given ability, the things that running backs crawl out of the crib having - athletic ability, balance, innate ability to just see the hole and balance and contort their bodies.” “They’re both really strong and they train themselves to be that way," Harbaugh said Monday. They each have 10 rushing touchdowns, providing the bulk of the Wolverines' 25 rushing scores, third in the country. That's particularly true for the Spartans’ front seven the strength of Tucker’s defense all season matches with the powerful run game that propels Jim Harbaugh’s offense.īruising Hassan Haskins and speedster Blake Corum form a tandem that averages 208.4 yards, accounting for more than 80% of Michigan's Big Ten-leading 253.3 yards per game on the ground (which is also fifth-best in the Football Bowl Subdivision) and nearly half of the Wolverines’ average 442.4 yards of total offense, which ranks 35th nationally.Ĭorum, a 5-foot-8, 200-pound sophomore, ranks 20th at 104.1 rushing yards per game, while Haskins, a 6-1, 220-pound senior, is 34th at 86 per game. (Albeit with a showdown with Ohio State still looming, and the loser of Saturday's game far from eliminated.) The showdown at noon (Fox) also will provide both in-state foes with their most significant test to date.
6 Michigan in a battle of unbeatens, both 7-0 overall, both 4-0 in the Big Ten and both seeking a marquee victory that would give the winner an early leg up in the East Division race.
