Sunday, October 3, 1971 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Second-half outburst sinks Midshipmen By JOHN PAPANEK The next time Michigan is picked to win a football game by 50 points, you might end up a sucker if you take the point spread. The Wolverines fell short of that margin by only four points yesterday, but their 46-0 pasting of Navy was not exactly a display of over- whelmingly power football. "It really gets exasperating," said coach Bo Schembechler after the rout. "Everyone wants us to win by fifty. Well we're not go- ing to win every game by fifty. I said we're not that good ' and we're not." "But don't say Michigan looked lousy. Give that other team cred- it," Bo said. "They really took it to us and played a heck of a, first half. They were decimated in their last two games, but they battled us like hell." Even so, the Wolverines stag- gered the Midshipmen, with three strings of offensive teams and a defense that collected its third straight shutout, and held Navy to just. three first downs. Michi- gan has now scored 161 points while allowing just six by its op- ponents. Today's effort moves Michigan into first place in scor-. ing defense nationwide. The game had a shaky begin- ning for the Wolverines who, with the exception of the season opener I I r SUNDAY SPORTS NIGHT EDITORS: ELLIOT LEGOW and MIKE OLIN at- Northwestern, are used to get- ting on the scoreboard early-like the first time they have the ball. After losing the toss for the first time this season, Michigan had to wait for three plays and a 24-yard Navy punt before getting the ball. -Daily-Rolfe Tessem WOLVERINE SAFETYMAN Tom Darden (35) tries to recover his balance in one of his five punt retruns yesterday afternoon. Geoff Stager (38) follows Darden up the field and Greg Ellis (68) gets up after applying a crushing block. Darden wound up with 84 yards in punt returns besides turn- ing in his usual brilliant game at safety. OKLAHOMA CRUISES: Nebraska shucks Utah S. But when they finally got, it, Fritz Seyferth fumbled it away, and Michigan's offense had to watch as Middie Al Glenny threw a ten-yard strike to Larry Van Loan for one of Navy's three first downs. Michigan got another chance three plays later when running back Andy Pease was blasted by linebacker Tom Kee and fumbled into the hands of Mike Taylor. But another Wolverine drive seemed foiled when quarterback Kevin Casey was sacked in his ownbackfield for an eightnyard loss. Michigan had a fourth and 18 situation on its own 37-yard line. Barry Dotzauer boomed a 56- yard punt to the Navy seven, where Charles Robinson fielded it. Billy Taylor hit him low and hard and the Middie fumbled. Guard Tom Coyle fell on the loose ball and the Wolverines took over on the Navy 18-yard line. From there it was the same old ball game .for the Wolverines. Billy Taylor carried three times for 18 yards, coming up an inch short of the goal line. Seyferth slashed through right guard for the touchdown, and after Dana Coin's 19th consecutive extra point, Michigan led 7-0. Casey, who Schembechler desig- nated as his starting quarterback on opening day, ran into some trouble as the first period ended and watched the rest of the game from the bench. After complet- ing his first pass to Glenn Dough- ty for eight yards, he threw an- other at Doughty's feet and bounced one off Taylor's back that was nearly intercepted. In his last play for the day he was sack- ed by Navy's Mike Behrent for a 10-yard loss. "My pre-game plan was to pull Casey after the first quarter," Schembbechler said. He wanted one more chance to look at Larry Cipa and Tom Slade before the Big Ten season resumes next week at Michigan State. What he saw may have further confused the quarterback dilem- ma, as Slade led three touchdown drives, completing four of seven passes. Cipa took over late in the third quarter and led two more touchdown drives, including a 49- yard touchdown pass to split end Mike Oldham. "I'm still not saying who the best quarterback is," said Bo. But he'll have to take a hard look at Slade and Cipa in practice this week. Early in the second period, Michigan marched down to the Navy 35 on two carries by Glenn Doughty for 11 yards and three by Ed Shuttlesworth for 21. But twice the Wolverine offensive line broke down and Slade was hit in the backfield for losses. The ball changed hands three times before the Wolverines mounted a 55-yard drive for their second touchdown. A pair of pass- es to Doughty and a sideline bul- let to Bo Rather stopped the clock at 1:11 with Michigan on the Navy nine-yard line. Shuttlesworth powered down to the one and Cowboy Walker, sub- bing for a shook-up Taylor, shot off right tackle for the touch- down. An illegal procedure penal- ty against Navy on the extra point attempt put the ball on the one- and-a-half yard line and the Wolverines took advantage, send- ing Shuttlesworth into the end- zone for two points. Anxious to put more points on the scoreboard to shore up their number two national ranking, Michigan came out with a revita- lized offense in the second half. After a stalled drive by each team, the Wolverines mounted a 39-yard scoring drive. -Daily-Rolte Tessem Larry Cipa (13) rolls and throws By The Associated Press INCOLN-Top ranked Nebras- ka rolled to touchdowns the first two times the mighty Cornhusk- ers had the ball yesterday, then went on to a 42-6 victory over previously unbeaten Utah State in an intersectional football game.

The junior backup for Bi raced for 53 yards in 11 carries and scored two touchdowns. A Michigan drive early in the fourth period began to sputter, so Schembechler sent Billy Tay- for back into the game. He quick- ly assured all concerned that he was well recovered from his bumped head, as he streaked 13 yards to the Navy 24 yard line. On the next play he carried 23 yards, just short of the goal line, to become the second greatest rusher in Michigan history. His one-yard touchdown run follow- ing gave him 2136 yards, to edge Tom Harmon's 2134. His next goal is to break Ron Johnson's all time record 2440. Harry Banks was next on Mich- igan's touchdown list, taking a pitchout from Cipa on an option a play and skirting right end for Sa five-yard touchdown.

They come in here with nothing to lose." Schembechler concurred saying, "I hope we won't be favored by that much again. I respect Navy. They really took it to us and played a heck of a first half. They couldn't move on us at all but defensive- ly they hung in there. Of course we made a lot of mistakes, we fumbled and jazzed around." Schembechler was particularly con- cerned about the offensive lines' tendency to dissolve at times. Seven Wolverines were tackled for losses, with early quarter- backs Kevin Casey and Tom Slade bear- ing the brunt of the onslaught. "It both- ered me that the Navy line got in," he said. "It would bother any coach. We had bet- ter get better before next week."

When he raced 23 yards to the Navy one yard line early in the fourth quarter he raised his career yardage total to 2135 surpassing Wolverine great Tom Harmon who rushed for 2134 yards dur-' ing the 1938-39-40 seasons. Taylor now ranks second in Michigan history to Ron Johnson who ran for 2440 yards in his three year stint as a Wolverine. Taylor wasn't planning on a record breaking afternoon. "I wasn't thinking about Harmon's record," he said after the game. "Some one had to tell me when I had beaten him. Sure, I'd like to, pass Johnson too, but right now winning is more important." However, he added, "I have to get in touch with R.J. for more shoes." Johnson left Taylor a pair of blue suede pumas in keeps on replacement Alan "Cowboy" Walker, did a more than creditable job, carrying the ball 11 times for 53 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Sophomore Harry Banks who took over the position late in the game gained 52 yards on the ground and scored the Wolverines' fifth touchdown. Taylor thinks that having replacements such as Walker and Banks, and the likes of Ed Shuttlesworth and Fritz Seyferth running along side of him is a help rather than a threat. "I feel really good about our running depth. I just hope I do my part and everyone else does their's. Having all these running backs the opposition can't just key on me. The other team has to stop more than Taylor to beat Michigan." The Wolverines' 275 yards gained on the ground stand as adequate testimonials to Taylor's beliefs.
