The Wolverines are aiming for a third consecutive win in the series.

They won last year's game, 45-23, but that one was competitive until Michigan blew the game open in the fourth quarter thanks to touchdown runs of 75 and 85 yards by RB Donovan Edwards.

Corum, a senior, suffered a knee injury the week prior to last year's meeting in a game against Illinois. He attempted to play against the Buckeyes but only ran the ball twice in the win. He had season-ending knee surgery on Dec. 1, 2022 and announced his decision to return for his senior year on Jan. 9.

"It was a business decision," said Corum. "I think I have unfinished business."

With his touchdown run, Corum is close to settling it.
