A few moments later, Michi- gan's football team became so disenchanted about marching over a slightly-better-than-mediocre- one-man team named Danny Tal-f bott that it inexplicably dropped out of the game. For thirty minutes Michigan's running backs and aerial actors7 looked so -dead pan they could have qualified for "Fracturedj Flickers." Going into the game North Carolina's inexperienced offense had been able to light up only 10 points on the scoreboard in. two previous contests - despite triple-threat Talbott, whom many hush-puppy confederates regard as North Carolina's contribution of the century. Fists of Iron Michigan, on the other hand, had punched through two feath- ery defenses for 58 points and + nearly 800 yards in two straight wins. But when it was all over, North Carolina became the second Dixieland team in as many years to fly home with an upset vic- tory. Most of the hometown fans, in- stead of leisurely waiting to listen to post-game renditions by the best of the bands, walked grimly away muttering, "They looked pretty damn lousy. I wonder what happened?" Assistant coach Dennis Fitz- gerald offered one explanation. "We didn't do a good enough job of convincing the team that North Carolina could beat us. Last year we pushed them all over the field until the heat got to us, and we still won. "The team knew that North Carolina could be good. They were ready, but not ready enough." Back to the Honing Board Head coach Bump Elliott added his analysis of the second-half boomerang. "There is no excuse for our offense bogging down. We just weren't sharp. We missed blocks, missed tackles and gen- erally made mistakes in tech- ,nique.x "Perhaps one of the key factors in the loss was the critical nature of our mistakes. Whenever North Carolina needed yardage or need- ed a break, we seemed to give it to them," he noted. In the final diagnosis, the coaches put as much blame on the defense as the offense for the letdown. "We didn't hit as hard as we should, and we made some seri- our defensive mistakes," pointed out assistant coach Don James, who handles the defensive sec- ondary.' Came the Flood He further explained, "They Michigan's two sophomore ends -Tom Stincic and Jon Kramer- "graded out pretty well" accord- ing to James, but he also cited "better coaching and more disci- plinie" as necessary improvements for the overall defensive bulwark. "We are going to have to stop more 'third down' plays," ac- knowledged James. "We should be stopping seven out of very ten in order to maintain ball-control, but we simply haven't been doing it." First Prize While the defense was having trouble taking the ball away from the Tar Heels, the offense had directly proportional luck in giv- ing the ball away. Two fumbles, three interceptions and "too many" dropped passes were the Still, with all the weighty evi- dence against Michigan's claim as a Big Ten threat, the coaches were slow to reach for the panic button.

In the final minutes of play, the Tar Heels elected to put three men on Clancy in order to con- tain him, but he still snatched one hook pass and Vidmer was able to connect with tight end Warren Sipp for another. Sipp, a sophomore in his first season as an end, was also making his debut as a starter following Clayt Wilhite's injury earlier in the week. Mans credited Sipp with a "good job on the line" but ad- mitted that he'd committed "mis- takes that you expect from a sophomore." Sipp played the entire game Saturday, but Mans was optimis- tic that Wilhite would be ready to help out this weekend in East Lansing.

But Elliott is anxious to forget about similarities and similes. "We've got a different teem, and they've got a different team," he said. "There's just no comparison to last year." Despite the ineptness of last Saturday, Elliott is anxious to test his offensive machine against the Spartan wall. Although Elliott stated that he "plans no major lineup changes." he also indicated that Jim Det- wilier could be starting this week- end for the first time since the 1965 Michigan-Michigan State clash. "We'll wait and see how he does this week in practice, but he has been coming along," explain- ed Elliott. That would make junior Ernie Sharpe the first substitute for either Detwiller or Carl Ward. Ward had two fumbles one bobbled pass and a 15-yard per- sonal foul charged to his bill against North Carolina in a per- formance that epitomized the frustration of Michigan's attack. But Elliott did not linger on a detailed cause-and-effect rela- tionship for either Ward's or the f o, f ra 305 Cross Country Sport Nicholson M/C Sales 224 S.

When Mich- igan was called for off side, North Carolina simply backed off and got ready for the next play. "On those situations we tell our boys to go after the center and the quarterback,' explained Dorow. "We get them any way we can." with the inept showing of his of- fense in a 26-10 victory over Illinois. The offense, said Daugherty, "made mistakes where we stopped ourselves - penalties and missed assignments." While MSU's first string went over the Michigan scouting re- port, Daugherty was asked if his No. 1 ranked Spartans could take a second straight Big Ten title, something that hasn't been done since Ohio State did it in 1954-55. "The road is becoming rougher and rougher and right now it is about as rough as we can stand," he said, noting that Ohio State is MSU's opponent the week after Michigan. Taped TV 3 4t Av.
