Always smiling, Morgan is friendly and sincere. He greets you with a firm handshake and puts his feet up on the coffee table while you talk. His arm looks like a writer's leg, and his neck might have come from a bull. Awesome Figure The muscles might easily strike a little fear into your heart, but the jovial face and the wide grin assure you that his tensions are saved for the football field. "I never see an opponent's face," he says. "Oh, once in a while some guy will make some faces at me, just to get me mad, but usually I just see their legs and uniforms." "And every so often some boy will come along with lots of clip- pings and press releases, and we like to 'stuff' him a little, but you can't get too personal. You loss your timing and might make stupid mistakes." The mistakes Dennis Morgan makes on a football field are few. Michigan's defensive line is strong without Morgan-with him it is close to being impermeable. The injury is in the past and all but forgotten; Wolverine opponents will not forget.

Morgan, a senior, led the Michigan defenders with 24 tackles, 5 of which were unassisted. His per- formance won him the week's Wolverine Award. a If numbers can tell the story, Morgan already is a great one. When he was hurt last year, he was leading the Big Ten in tackles, and had not started the first two games of the season. During the Purdue game he had 16 unassisted tackles, and -helped on eight more, for a total of 24, his finest day ever. Morgan was nominated - for Sports Illustrated's "lineman of the week" award for his efforts 1 against Michigan State. A fight with an MSU player was largely responsible for his not receiving the honor. "He has to improve, and he will improve," continues McNease. "He has to make more tackles." which I lost while I was in the hospital. And my wife's been away," he adds with a smile." I have to eat my own cooking."
