Running backs Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards both recently went down with injuries, leaving Hassan Haskins to carry the load last weekend against Indiana. While Haskins handled the extra responsibility just fine, the Michigan Wolverines are certainly hoping Corum and Edwards are back for this weekend’s matchup against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Jim Harbaugh and Mike Hart didn’t say much on the status of the two backs.
“I hope to see them play on Saturday.” Hart told reporters on Wednesday.
With the injuries creating a lack of depth at the running back position, there is a chance we could see some new faces take the field this weekend for the Wolverines, such as true freshman Tavierre Dunlap, who had some playing time last weekend.
