Schembechler experimented with Casey, Tom Slade, and Larry Cipa against the Midshipmen and Slade was the most impresive, hiting on four of seven passes and mov- ing the team well. So, with the Big Ten season opening up again at Michigan State in a battle where b o t h coachs always like to spring a few surprises, Schembechler de- cided to switch to Slade after finally revealing that Casey had been injured all season. However, D u f f y Daugherty had a few surprises of his own for Michigan as his team opened the nationally-televised grudge match operating out of a wish- bone formation. Slade didn't fare much bet- ter than Casey with his passing, hitting only three of nine, but he executed the option success- fully and moved the Wolverines in for two key fourth quarter scores in icing the hard-fought 24-13 triumph. The wishbone didn't really perturb the defensemen who expected "that the Spartans would try something new." The 188 total yards gained by MSU included only 59 on the ground as the Michigan defenders suc- mauls hapless opponents cesfully contained the Spartan flea, Eric Allen. A f t e r that Michigan came home again for another patsy, Illinois, and despite some first period mistakes, overwhelmed the Illini 35-6. Slade's first pass of the game, on the opening play of the game was intercepted by the Illini and Michigan was trailing 6-0 three plays later. But the Illini lead was short- lived as Michigan opened up a 21-6 halftime advantage and coasted in with the win. Again the defense excelled, limiting Illinois to 83 total yards and Glenn Doughty made his first significant offensive contribution, scoring three touchdowns, his first of the season and rushing for 48 yards. The next weekend in Minne- sota Michigan met a new threat -the forward pass. The Goph- ers' Craig Curry pierced the Wolverine defense for 193 pass- ing yards but managed only one score on a 73 yard bomb to to flanker George Honza. That second quarter score tied the game at 7-7 but Michigan ral- lied for a 35-7 win. Taylor ground out 168 yards in 33 gal- lops against the grounded Go- phers and surpassed Ron John- son's Michigan career rushing mark. But, the passing attack again fell flat. Slade and Larry Cipa combined for only two comple- tions in ten attempts, but what can be better than a 35-7 con- ference win anyway? Maybe a 61-7 pasting of In- diana or a 63-7 devastation of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Neither of those games produced much ex- citement and even the scores, Michigan's highest- in 23 years seemed insignificant after earli- er 56-0 wins. The yards came easy against both of the I's as Michigan net- ted 489 of them against Indiana and 559 against Iowa. Each game included only three com- pleted passes but why pass when you have backs like Taylor who ripped off 172 yards in 11 car- ries against Indiana, Ed Shut- tlesworth who averaged seven per romp while netting 112 against Iowa, and reserve Alan Walker who totaled 185 in the two games. After that pair of b o r i n g romps, Michigan fans were ra- ther unprepared for the gruel- ing nail-biter against Purdue the next week. No 500 yards of offensive totals, or 50 yard de- fensive performances highlight- ed that game and most of the second string never even got into the game. But Slade finally proved he could pass and Schembechler found a way for Michigan to move without an effective Tay- lor leading the way. Purdue even managed to score two touchdowns and 17 points against the Wolverines and the game wasn't decided until Dana Coin kicked a 25 yard field goal with 45 seconds left to save the Wolverine's unbeaten s e a s o n with a 20-17 win. That set - the stage for the Wolverines' annual blood match with Woody's boys from Colum- bus. Although the Buckeyes had registered two consecutive loss- es and numerous major injuries no one was surprised by the tough battle they gave Michigan. Defenses and fumbles prevail- ed as Michigan led at halftime 3-0 behind another crucial Coin field goal. A Michigan shutout still seemed quite possible until Tom Campana broke loose on punt return and scooted 85 yards for a Buckeye touchdown mid- way through the third quarter. The defenses then went back to work, stifling any offensive ex- plosions and Michigan still trail- ed, 7-3, when the Wolverines (See MICHIGAN, Page 14) Final Michigan Stats TOTAL FIRST DOWNS Rushing First Downs Passing First Downs Penalty First Downs TOTAL OFFENSIVE PLAYS Rushing Attempts Passing Attempts Pass Completions TOTAL OFFENSIVE YARDS Rushing Yards Passing Yards TOTAL NUMBER OF PUNTS Total Yards Mich 255 213 34 8 Opp 124 882 768 114 47 4397 3714 683 53 2144 9 Doughty 59 Rather 16 Oldham Seymour 631 Gustafson 418 Haslerig 214 Seal 104 Seyferth B.

Powered by the bullish bulldozing of Billy Taylor and the slamming sledge ham- mer known as Easy Ed Shuttlesworth, the Wolverines set a plethora of records such as points scored (409) and total yards (4397). At first the Wolverine dynamo was headed by the neophyte Kevin Casey, but within a few games, he had been ousted by another precocious sophomore, Tom Slade, and it was the cu- cumber cool Slade who led the power-laden offense through the balance of the near perfect schedule. In the Wolverines' finest hour, however, it was rarely used Larry Cipa who sprinted off the bench to take over from the fallen Slade and direct the faltering offense to a game winning score against the hated Ohio State Buckeyes. During the course of the banner year Taylor eclipsed the Michigan three season rushing mark previously held by Ron Johnson. Fittingly, it was Johnson who had given Taylor the pair of blue suede football shoes which carried him so effort- lessly past pursuing defenders. The platinum toe of place kicker Dana Coin also left its print in the Grauman's Chinese Theatre cement of gridiron history. Coin converted on every one of his 54 extra point at- tempts over the 1971 campaign to establish a new NCAA mark. Long overshadowed by the stalwart Michigan defense, the Wolverine offense this year came to life and blossomed into a prolific scoring machine, running up totals of 56. 61, and 63 points, iFFE I. 6 - a 1 5-° 4 - 12z 4 - 4 - 4 - -1x - 1 I - 2 - t - tdo-othe Larry Cipa Gl tdr-run tdp-pass SONY model tc-60 ac 'dc personal portable cassette corder " " 1 FEATURES ac/dc operation pushbutton operation locking fast forward and rewind buttons sonymatic recording control microphone and auxiliary inputs tone and volume controls built in speaker $49.95 0 record interlock operates in any carrying position 0 remote stop/stort microphone WORKSHOP 2555 Jackson Rd., Ann Arbor 6 WESTGATE SHOPPING CENTER 16400 W. 7 Mile Rd., Detroit B 665-3664 R 3-7985 "We Service What We Sell" * BANKAMERICARD * MASTERS * DINERS .Dana Coin Bob Thornblad
