WEST LAFAYETTE
" 'LL BE VERY honest with you guys. I knew all along I was
wrong, but ever since last summer I was looking forward to
Ohio State. Now that's all that's left, and I'm sure relieved."
In very simple, elementary terms Michigan co-captain Dave
Gallagher described yesterday's slow-starting cakewalk over
Purdue. Only one thing, overconfidence, could have denied the
Wolverines their date with destiny a week hence, but a man
named Schembechler wouldn't let it happen.
Not many coaches have the inner power which enables them
to impose their very will upon their players. Johnny Wooden for
sure, maybe George Allen. Now add the name of Bo Schem-
bechler.
Bo had to realize that no matter how hard he tried, and
he tries very hard, he wasn't going to keep his players' minds
off next week.
There's just too much hatred, enmity, and bitterness built up
between Ohio State and Michigan for the players of both schools
to think of anything else.,
Schembechler knows this, and he's dedicated his entire ex-
istence to guard against that ever-possible upset which would
deny him of his lifeblood.
But even the brutal force of Schembechler's personality
simply wasn't enough to alter the course -of his athletes' think-
ing.
Purdue played inspired, hard-hitting football on this glis-
tening afternoon in the heart of the Midwest farm country.
pugnacious coach Alex Agase went so far as to term his
team's first half play, "our finest of the season."
But the embattled Boilermakers just didn't have the talent
they had the previous two seasons which they so desperately
needed to finally defeat Michigan after those two crushing three-
point losses in 1971 and 1972.
Agase pointed to his team's mistakes in the second half (one
fumble, two interceptions) as the reason behind his club's sec-
ond-half collapse, and you kind of expected him to say that. His
fourth-down decisions and the pass for two points with the score
20-9 were proof positive that he came to play.
Still, the stark difference between the Maize and Blue's
first and second half play spun a far more credible explana-
tion of the game's turnaround.
Michigan moved the ball fairly well over the initial 30 min-
utes, but never for more than one or two first downs per drive.
When Purdue had the ball, it was much the same story.
While Purdue didn't move the ball anywhere near at will, some
shoddy Michigan tackling and leaky pass defense constantly had
them in trouble.
But despite the Wolverines' inability to outplay-let alone
dominate - their foes, a brilliant, diving catch by the forgotten
wingback, Clint Haslerig, gave them a 6-3 lead at intermission.
As the teams moved to their respective dressing rooms,
a helluva lot of people must have been having some second
thoughts about Michigan's chances against the Buckeyes.
And, you know, they had every reason to be so minded.
But after what must have been an earthy halftime discus-
sion, about which Schembechler later admitted that "I told them
to stop messing around and just run at 'em," Michigan charged
out like a team with something to prove.
Perhaps not since the opening drive of the Stanford game,
when the offense marched 85 yards in 16 plays, had the Michi-
gan attackers performed as they did in their 75-yard, 13 play
junket to open the third period.
It was brutal, dehumanizing football, the kind that has given
so many reporters so much copy the past five years.
One pass was thrown. Two option pitches outside were
tried. The rest were straight up the gut, with Ed Shuttlesworth
and Chuck Heater carrying the mail.
"We just came out and controlled the line of scrimmage,"
guard Mike Hoban said afterwards in the restrained-but-
happy Michigan locker room. "And that was the ballgame."
The Wolverines destroyed the stingy Riveter defense to such
an extent that only once did they fail to score a touchdown when
they had the ball - and that was because the clock ran out.
So much will be written in the coming six days about Satur-
day's showdown that it seemed ridiculous to even ask anyone
about what it will take to beat Ohio State.
Everyone knows that it will, of course, take a supreme
effort from every Michigan player to defeat the top-ranked
Bucks. The betting line will probably favor Woody's men by
about 4-5 poirts, and a neutral observer comparing the scores
of the two teams would have to think that's about right.
Somebody asked Schembechler about the fact that he'd be
the underdog next week. Bo paused, thought for several moments,
and then grinned.
"No, I like being the underdog," he said quietly. "But an
underdog that's 10-0 isn't all that much of an underdog now, is it?"
They all knew the answer.

merchant split end Larry Burton,
who had beaten Dave Elliott
cleanly. Still, the drive reached
Michigan's 33-yard line before a
blitzing Don Dufek nailed Bobrow-
ski for a 6-yard loss on fourth
down.
The Michigan attack continued to
sputter throughout the first half,I
while the Boilermakers piled up
yardage between the twenties. But,
as they did last week against Illi-
nois, the Wolverine attackers, par-'
layed a big play into a shaky half
time lead. This time a 41-yard scor-
ing strike to Clint Haslerig provid-
ed the intermission margin.
Haslerig made a spectacular,
play to come up with the football.
He was covered step for step by
Purdue's Fred Cooper, but the
fleet wingback leaped, outwrestled
Cooper for the ball, and came to
. rest with most of his body out of
bounds. However, the football was
in the endzone, the touchdown sig-
nal was given, and 56,485 Purdue
partisans were hopping mad. J
With the "aid" of a bad snap
and placement, Mike Lantry saw
his perfect conversion record go
by the boards.
The Boilermakers did much to
make the Wolverines regret their
miscue as they drove all the way
to the Wolverine eleven. With just
12 seconds on the clock, Steve{
Schmitt gave the Black and Gold1
three points with a 27 yard field1

THE FIRST HALF - in which
Purdue had outgained Michigan in
total yards (155 to 130) and in firstE
downs (10-7) - was soon forgot-

storming back. The Maize and

On and on it went-75 yards in
13 plays. From the Purdue 14 yard
line, Franklin gave the ball to
Shuttlesworth three straight times,
then faked the handoff to Easy Ed
and took it in himself for the score.
Michigan got the ball aright back
when Dotzauer made a diving in-
terception on Purdue's 38. This
time, it took-only eight tries to hit
paydirt. The big plays were a 17-
yard jaunt up the middle by Heat-
er and Franklin's 12-yard touch-
down gallop - a naked roll-out
which left two Purdue linebackers
talking to themselves.
BUT THE Boilermakers didn't
roll over and die when the Wolver-
ines came out of their burrow.
They took the ensuing kickoff and
marched 62 yards in eight plays
to make it 20-9, Bobrowski hitting
Dlerrick on an 18-yard touchdown
pass. Here, Boiler boss Alex Agase
opted for a two-point conversion,
but Bobrowski's pass was caught
out of bounds.
Two one-yard touchdown runs by
Bob Thornbladh capped workman-
like fourth-quarter drives, upping
the count to 34-9. Thornbladh and
Gordon Bell supplied most of the
legwork in the drives. Bell replaced
Heater, who was at his hard-nosed
best, rushing for 84 yards in 14
carries. The third' of Michigan's
talented tailbacks, Gil Chapman,
didn't make the trip because of a
persistent groin pull.
Agase, who has a pretty hard
nose himself, had plenty of praise
for his out-manned ballclub after'
the contest. "Our boys deserved a
better break than that," he lament-
ed. "We came to play and I really
thought we had a chance." He
blamed turnovers and field posi-
tion for the game's second-half
turnaround.
"YOU CAN'T GIVE 'em the
short route to a touchdown like we
did," he explained. "That's whatj
killed us."
The win was not without its price
for Michigan. Linebacker Craig
Mutch missed most of the game
with a sprained knee which shelved
him in the first quarter. He's listed1
as doubtful for the Ohio game.I
