Waldvogel, naturally, c a m e
out throwing and hit his re-
ceivers twice to gain 23 yards,
but ace Michigan safety Dave
Brown picked off Waldvogel's
final (and fortieth) pass of the
afternoon. The Wolverines were
safe at last.
THE WOLVERINES may have
wound up with 402 yards in
total offense and the edge in
first downs, but the way the
game started out, they were
lucky to stay within reach of
the charged-up Cardinals. Hard-
ly, playing like the team that
had tied San Jose State and was
creamed by Illinois, the Cards
t o t a 11 y dominated the first
quarter.
Michigan could do nothing
with the ball in the first quar-
ter, garnering a queasy 23 rush-
ing yards and not a single first
down.
THE WOLVERINES got in
trouble on their very first
series. Punter John Anderson's
line drive was returned by Car-
dinal Ray Anderson to the
Michigan 42.
Waldvogel, one of Stanford's
quarterback triumverate, culd
move the Cards just seven
yards, but that was close enough
for plackicker Mike Langford
to boot the first of his tnree
field goals, this one from 52
yards out. The Stanford three-
pointer marked the first points*
scored against Michigan in the
first quarter since 1972.
Michigan did nothing again
and Stanford took over on its
28. Hitting two third-and-long
passes, Waldvogel moved the
Cards to the Michigan 29. On
the third such situation, Wald-
vogel again hit his 'man, tight
end Fred Williams c o m i n g
across the middle, but he could
not reach the first-down yard-
age before Steve Strinko and
Jilek crushed him to the turf.
LANGFORD, looking like a
jumbo- sized Rod Garcia (a
Michigan nemesis from way
back), s a i le d a 42 - varder
through the uprights and the
Cards led, 6-0, with over five
minutes left in the quarter.
Michigan continued to be
totally s t y m i e d but Stanford

Michigan had four first downs
and moved all the way to the
21, but the Wolverines could
gain but nine yards on their
next three plays. Schembechler
elected to go for the first down
on the 12, instead of the game-
tying field goal.
Franklin took the snap, sneak-
ed along the line, and quickly
darted to his right and sailed
clearly into the end zone.
Just moments after this, the
Wolverines expanded their lead
to 20-9, capitalizing on a Stan-
ford fumble. Laidlaw lost the
handle on a sweep and Larry
Banks took the opportunity to
pounce on it just nine yards
from paydirt.
Gil Chapman ran for four
yards and Franklin eluded two
tacklers with some jazzy hip-
fakes to fly into the endzone.
quarter. Waldvogel, starting at
his 44, hit Eric Test for 13
yards. One play later, Laidlaw
burst through "a huge hole on a
draw play for 27 yards, to the,
Michigan 16-yard line.
WALDVOGEL then went back
to the air, but two passes fell
incomplete. W i t h third and
long, he tried again but Jilek
poured through and dumped
him for a 13-yard loss. The
sacking took the Cards out of
the range of Langford, whose
46-yard attempt was wide.
Jilek's clutch maneuver and
the missed field goal appeared
to inspire the Wolverines, as
they picked up an initial first
down before punting again. The
Cards were stymied, and Mich-
igan got the ball on the Stan-
ford 40 after their punt, by far
Michigan's best field position of
the game.
The Wolverines proceeded to
grind out the 40 yards in seven
plays. Franklin hit George
Przygodski for 14 yards and
five running plays and a penal-
ty enabled the Wolverines to
get on the board.
Bell scored the six-pointer
from one yard out, but a mis-
guided snap ruined Mike Lan-
try's attempted PAT, and the
game was tied 6-6.
Michigan was moving now,
but another TD drive was abort-
ed at the Stanford 11 when
Heater was stopped on fourth
and one. The teams exchanged
punts, but the Cardinals regain-
ed possession on an interception
by Larry McGovern, Michigan's
first turnover of the season.
However, the Wolverine defense
stiffened, and the Cards settled
for another field goal and a 9-6
halftime lead.
Neither team could move the
their 6 yard line midway
through the period. Plagued
with this poor field position, the
Wolverines e 1 e c t e d to grind
some meat. Three runs moved
the ball out to the 24, where
Franklin went to the2airand
got the next best thing to a
completion-pass interference.
A Franklin-to-Smith a e r i a l
and a 17-yard Lytle run high-
lighted the rest of the drive.

Bo may claim to be "thoroughly modern" with his Heisman--
Trophy candidate quarterback Dennis Franklin and "Johnny
Rodgers-type wingback" Gil Chapman, but he will always be an
Ohio coach. Nothing thrills his heart or wins football games as
effectively as the good old 80-yards-in-17 plays routine.
Although the Maize and Blue were never more than 6
points behind all afternoon, their victory over the tenacious ii
(though still winless) Cards could easily have been confused
with a Bela Lugosi epic on "Chiller Theatre," quite unlike the
cakewalks over Iowa, Colorado and Navy.
The Wolverines' two long touchdown drives (of 94 and 78
yards). in the second half were most important in deciding the
game's outcome, and provided a clear contrast between yester-
day's game and the 1972 Rose Bowl fiasco.
Those Wolverines of three years ago were a powerful,
physical unit that thrived all season on "run and more run,"
but when forced to try something else, they couldn't do it.
Those Wolverines couldn't complete a pass on third down.
It was as simple as that.
In yesterday's key fourth-quarter, time-consuming drive,
Michigan was faced with third-and-long several times. Through-
out the march, the spectre of the Cards taking over with just
four points separating the teams haunted the fair-sized Michi-
gan contingent of fans. They all remembered what one Don
Bunce did to the Michigan secondary not so long ago. Each time,
Dennis Franklin rose to the occasion and hit his receiver.
Schembechler and his players were universally impressed
with Stanford's play, but they did offer the 75-degree heat as a
reason for their less-than-imposing start. "They're good, but
the heat was definitely a factor," Franklin said. "I was very
sluggish at the beginning, but I wasn't worried about the game J
because we knew what we were doing wrong. We just didn't -
execute in the first half."
"We didn't block well early," Schembechler offered, "so
.we couldn't engineer any first downs (zero in the first quar-
ter). But we were an entirely different team later on."
Some key defensive plays and fine punting by freshman __
John Anderson were all that kept the Wolverines breathing in the -
opening stanza. Usually, the offense doesn't back the defense .
against the wall with turnovers or a punt every four downs.
But yesterday the Maize and Blue finally committeed a turn-rs4
over, and punted five times. The Wolverine defenders, tough in g
