With controversy and last-minute suspensions taking the center stage, the Michigan Wolverines kept their heads focused and suffocated Penn State in the team’s first true test of the season. Nationally, many saw this performance as conservative and a little ugly, but the Wolverines tackled the situation with strategic confidence and clear execution.
If anything, Michigan showed it has no fear and can win in a variety of ways. After lamenting the drop-off of the running game all season, Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards combined for 197 yards and logged runs of 44, 30, 22, and 22 yards, with two of those going for touchdowns.
