"Thornbladh is a tough cookie. We need help at linebacker and 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- uses it. With the Y-formation we 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." look Thornbladh, Shuttlesworth's fense, not like the way TexasI cgs boot.Lions, 6-13 Cox's the the vic- the nally after re- Lem Barney on the Lions' 20-yard line with 9:13 left.

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- haps one of the key games of the season, despite being the opener. The two teams were expected to battle for the Central Division title, but the Lions will have a chance at revenge in the rematch at Minnesota Dec. 11. Keyed-up Detroit took the open- ing kickoff and drove 71 yards in 15 plays with the opening kickoff to score on a 20-yard field goal by Mann. Clint Jones of the Vikings fum- bled the ensuing kickoff, although he was not hit, and Craig Cotton recovered for Detroit at the Min- nesota 21.

Mann connected on a 36-yard field goal ten minutes into the second quarter, but the tenacious Minnesota defense harrassed Lan- dry and stopped Detroit's attack 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.
