Shortly after Michigan football’s two top tailbacks had cleaved Northwestern for 229 yards and four touchdowns, one of them — Blake Corum — entered the interview room at the Crisler Center wearing sunglasses. The shades were black-on-black and wrapped around his face like Geordi La Forge's visor from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," though Corum is far too young to have seen the show when it aired.
Corum oozed cool because he’d just put on a show of his own against Northwestern, gouging the Wildcats’ defense for 119 yards and two touchdowns in a 33-7 win for Michigan.
