Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh talks about QB J.J. McCarthy and RB Blake Corum
Following Michigan’s win over Maryland, head coach Jim Harbaugh talked about quarterback J.J. McCarthy‘s performance.
“I think he did a lot of great things. Game on the line throws to Roman, to Ronnie Bell, just to name a couple. Thought he worked the ball to the tight end Schoonmaker. He had a great game, seven catches, career high for him. And then it just kind of settled in, played good, fundamental football.”

Harbaugh also praised Blake Corum for having a great game.
“30 carries, I mean, we knew very well that he could handle that. I mean, nobody trains like he’s trained. This isn’t something that he just goes out and does. I mean, it’s a seven days a week thing for him, year-round. You know, train himself to be in a position to do what he does it’s just great — so proud. Just imagine how proud James Corum is. And I saw him, right behind the bench. There’s a button on the shirt popped. That was really cool. And yeah, the branch doesn’t fall too far from the tree in the Corum family. James Corum being the tree, Blake being the branch.”
Nation, who would you pick against the spread? Michigan or Iowa?
