Michigan gains from failures and errors
PASADENA, California: According to Blake Corum, the Michigan Wolverines’ current winning streak, top ranking, and proximity to a national championship are results of their ability to overcome adversity, not a result of it.
The star running back for Michigan, who is seated with his teammates under a large white tent outside the Rose Bowl on Saturday in the pouring rain, discusses his perspective. On Monday, the Wolverines (13-0) will play Alabama (12-1) in the College Football Playoff semifinal.
I believe we have gained knowledge from all of our failures and errors, Corum stated. “I believe that this squad is stronger than ever, both emotionally and physically, after everything we’ve gone through this year. That’s a major factor in our remarkable performance. We simply got together. I didn’t think our team could get any closer, but we did. When hardship strikes, you have two options. Either you either give up or you can persevere. We simply continued on.
The college football world already realizes Michigan’s pristine record and No. 1 ranking are poor camouflage for a profoundly messy season.
