Corum rushed for 1,028 yards and a nation-leading 24 touchdowns this season on 218 carries, whereas McCarthy threw for 2,630 yards with 19 touchdowns to four interceptions.
Although No. 1 Michigan (13-0, 8-0 Big Ten) didn't have a Heisman finalist, it does however have a chance at winning a national championship as it takes on No. 4 Alabama (12-1, 8-0 SEC) at the Rose Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinals on New Year's Day.
