"He's had a tendency to overstride when he's getting ready to pass. We've tried to make sure that his feet aren't more than eight inches apart when he passes," said Nehlen. Though Nehlen has praise for all his peers on the Michigan staff, coach Schembechler receives far and away the highest accolades. "I definitely think he's the best foot- ball coach in the country today," he said. "He does a super job with the kids. He's demanding like he should be, but he doesn't ask us to do anything that he's not capable of doing himself." Coach Nehlen is realistic when looking toward the future. He's wary of jumping into another uncomfortable situation like that at Bowling Green. "I want to go as far in coaching as I possibly can. If I become a head coach again, it must be in a good situation. I'll only go where the football program is a valuable asset to the university." But right now he must worry about the situation Saturday with Duke. His first game as coach in Michigan Stadium excites even someone with as much experience as himself. "The game is something special to me and my family. I'm really looking forward to going down through the tunnel on Saturday." ... .... The Michigan Doily Sports NIGHT EDITOR: By RICK MADDOCK GRIDDE PICKS A funny thing happened to Frank Geoff on the way to classes this mor- ning. He stopped at a local A2 munching place for a bite to eat. Just then a man walked in and asked the waitress for some "Gridde picks and a large milk with syrup on the side." Needless to say, the waitress was confused. At that moment Frank spit up his cocoa crispies and said, "Your in the wrong place buddy. Youwant the Daily building so that you may make your Gridde Picks by midnight Friday and have a chance to win a Pizza Bob's pizza with two items." -RPr rhoto 'S dium By DAVE RENBARGER Last Saturday, Michigan football fans lis radios as Bo's boys tucked away victory No With their gridiron appetites sufficentl Multitudes can lick their chops in anticipa season.
