The latest Michigan football news shows that star running back Blake Corum is confident as the team takes on Alabama.
When asked about the public perception of the two teams, Corum had a message: ‘We’re still the top dog.”
Corum is referring to the Wolverines’ status as the No. 1 seed.
The Wolverines running back also expressed how much of a “good challenge” it will be to face Bama.
“Yeah, they flipped it from the jump,” Corum explained during a December 21, 2023 media session.
“As soon as they announced we’d be playing Alabama, I feel like they flipped it from the jump. Which is fine.
It’s all people’s opinions and what they think. But we’re going into it, like I said last time, as a top dog.
We are the No. 1 team of the nation, and we’re going to treat it as such.
Alabama’s a great team. After watching film, they’re coached really well, defense flies around. So, it’s definitely going to be a challenge that we’re super excited for.
We love a good challenge. But yeah, we’re still the top dog and that’s how we’re going in.”
Corum has a reason to be confident as the playmaker has scored at least one touchdown in all of Michigan’s 13 games this season.
The running back has 218 carries for 1,028 yards and 24 touchdowns heading into the Rose Bowl.
