Blake Corum Shines for Rams with Spectacular 81-Yard Performance
The Los Angeles Rams found themselves on the receiving end of an impressive display from running back Blake Corum this past Sunday, even as the team faced a tough defeat. Corum, showcasing his explosive talent, capitalized on limited opportunities, positioning himself as a pivotal player for the postseason—a feat he demonstrated effectively during his final college season.
Corum’s Impactful Day
Despite only receiving seven carries, Corum made each one count, racking up 81 rushing yards and finding the end zone for a touchdown. His impressive average of 11.6 yards per carry exemplifies his ability to break through defenses and ignite the Rams’ offense. Alongside him, Kyren Williams contributed significantly, adding 72 yards and another touchdown, creating a formidable rushing tandem that nearly overwhelmed their opponents.
McVay’s Praise for Corum
Following the game, head coach Sean McVay took a moment to commend Corum’s performance and the overall effectiveness of the running back group. “I think he did a great job,” McVay remarked, highlighting the collaborative effort of his players. “I thought Kyren ran really well. We got great removal and knockoff.”
McVay specifically pointed out a pivotal moment during the game when Corum broke free on a long run, beginning from a backed-up position. “What a great job of him recognizing everybody’s getting connected,” he noted. He also praised the efforts of wide receiver Jordan Whittington, who delivered a crucial knockdown block that exemplified the team’s commitment to executing plays effectively.
As the Rams look ahead, Corum’s electrifying performance not only showcased his potential but also painted a promising picture for the team’s postseason prospects.
