to linebacker this season rather
than be kept on the bench.
"Thornbladh is a tough cookie.

he's a good football player, but
I'm not ready to make that com-
mitment yet."
With his backfield operating so
efficiently, Bo was happy with the
success with which the team is
using the new Y-formation, simi-
lar to Texas Wishbone-T. "It
worked against Virginia," he said,
"but we're not sure it's really that
good.
"It's a supplement to our of-

can go both ways and it puts
us in a truly balanced running
formation. We have big strong
running backs, but not a true
flanker back. We're not as good as
Texas in it yet, but we're improv-
ing."
Still, Schembechler knew that
Virginia was not a fair test for
his team. "A game like we just
played," he said, "other than de-
veloping some younger guys, I
don't know how much you get out
of it.
"It would be good if you have a
team that needs confidence," he
added with a grin, "but I don't
think that's our problem."

Earlier in the period, Cox tied

He also kicked a 13-yarder with
three seconds remaining in the
first half after Detroit had taken
a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
The nationally televised game,
played before a capacity Tiger
Stadium crowd of 54,418, was per-

season, despite being the opener.
The two teams were expected to

Keyed-up Detroit took the open-

lead with the game only six min-
utes old.
Mann connected on a 36-yard
field goal ten minutes into the
second quarter, but the tenacious
Minnesota defense harrassed Lan-

the rest of the way.
Besides the crucial missed field
goal in the closing seconds, Mann
also missed attempts from the 39,
and twice from the 53.
