Harbaugh: Corum's knee 'structurally good' after injury in win over Illinois
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said that star running back Blake Corum's knee is "structurally good" after he suffered an injury late in the first half of Saturday's 19-17 win over Illinois, according to Brad Galli of WXYZ Detroit.
The Heisman Trophy contender returned for just one carry in the second half, with C.J. Stokes and Isaiah Gash taking over the bulk of the Wolverines' backfield work.
"He was cleared to go back in," Harbaugh said. "See where it is tomorrow."

Corum had 103 rushing yards, 39 receiving yards, and one touchdown before exiting.
The 21-year-old entered Saturday's game with an FBS-high 18 total touchdowns and ranked third with 1,349 yards rushing.
Michigan moved to 11-0 thanks to a last-minute field goal. The Wolverines will go on the road to face Ohio State next week.
