Schembechler, whose Wolverines gave up 27 points last Sat- 2. urday, spent much of yesterday with the master of nettlesome 3. defense, Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight. 4. "He's' my new secondary coach," joked Schembechler at the 6. start of his weekly press luncheon. 7. 8. "I originally came up to discuss defense with Bo," smiled 8 Knight. "But on ,my way up I changed my mind. So we've 9o. spent the last couple of hours talking about offense - a sub- 11. ject which neither of us know much about." ' 12. And so it went-a very relaxed Schembechler calmly listing 13. the things that went wrong with his defense in the 40-27 win 14. over Wisconsin. The Badgers piled up 268 passing yards and 16. 426 total yards, more than any other Schembechler team has 17. given up in his seven years at Michigan. 18. And Wisconsin was supposed to be an easy game. Stanford, 19 this week's opponent, is generally acknowledged as the finest 20. passing team in the country.

Much of the problem was a lack of preparation. Wisconsin used a multiple T offense that Michigan had never seen be- fore. In some situations the coaches called for the wrong de- fense. In others, the play-action kept the defense off-balance and out of position. "It's 'a tough offense to get ready for," said Schembech- ler. "Wisconsin has a good offense anyway, and it's especially tough when you haven't seen it before. Besides the catch-all explanation, "We didn't execute," Schembechler blamed a poor pass rush, a lack of interceptions and some lucky catches for Wisconsin's unusual point total. "We touched seven balls on defense and got only one inter: ception," Schembechler said, shaking his head. "That's unheard! of. There wasn't much pressure on the quarterback. Our under: neath coverage wasn't good, either-all of those passes were about 12-15 yards." "And there were a lot of passes that wouldn't normally be caught that were. We touch the ball all those times and don't intercept . .. a 5-9 guy catches an alley-oop pass when he have' a 6-2 guy covering him . . . a lot of little things like that hurt us." Can Blue contain Cordova? In' the immediate aftermath of Saturday's game, Schembech- ler talked of personnel changes for the Stanford game. By yester- day he had cooled off some and said he expected "no drastic changes." But he's got to do something befog is Saturday. Stanford' played a great game against Penn St;. last weekend, holding the Nittany Lions scoreless for the last 51 minutes of the game. Turnovers gave Penn State 15 quick points, but the Cardinals came back to lose by only 15-12.!
