By JIM LaSOVAGE
Liars might figure, but figures
don't lie.
So it may be said, anyway. How-
ever, a closer look at some cur-
rent Michigan statistics may prove
this platitude slightly inaccurate.
After three weeks of the new
season, Michigan's offense boasts
these statistics: most net yards
rushing for one game (for a Big
Ten team), ninth in the country
in total offense, ninth in the
country in total rushing. The Wol-
verines have compiled a 357.3 yard
per game average in their com-
bined aerial and ground attacks,
and an average of 235.7 yards have
r been gained on the ground.
Offense Gets Credit
Impressive? It's been mainly the
offense which has earned Michi-
gan's fifth place rating in this
week's Associated Press poll. But
in truth, the .defense has been
somewhat overlooked by most ob-
servers. It has not, however, slip-
ped by head Coach Bump Elliott.
Elliott gave most of the credit to
his defensive squad for last Sat-
urday's triumph over the Spar-
tans.
The defensive unit held MSU to
only one touchdown and a field
goal, and several times stopped
Spartan drives deep in Michigan
territory. As far as conference sta-
tistics are concerned, the Wol-
verine defensive platoon leads in
two categories. In the MSU game
