Michigan football won its biggest, and most emotional, game of the season on Saturday night after defeating in-state rival, Michigan State, 29-7.
The Wolverines’ offense gained 443 yards of total offense against MSU. The maize and blue did what they do best; running the football. Michigan rushed for 276 yards and Heisman candidate Blake Corum ran for 177 yards. Corum ran for a score and caught a touchdown on Saturday.
While Michigan purely dominated the game, especially in the trenches, the offense did sputter in the red zone. The Wolverines were forced to kick three field goals in the red zone. Two of those came when Michigan had the ball inside the Spartans’ five-yard line.
