Time no damper on
Blue-Buckeye rivalry
By BRIAN MILLER
History, as any devotee oft
that subject can tell you,
tends to repeat itself. If this
is true, the 1976 Michigan
football team should hope to
duplicate the events of the
1964 season. y
To date, the similarities
between the two seasons area
remarkable.

preferred to "wait until Satur-

Michigan.

PRO STANDINGS
IN BOTH years, the Wol-
verines were ranked high
nationally and owned the
best ground game in the
country. Both teams werex
undefeated going into the
Purdue game and both teams
were dealt upset defeats by
the Boilermakers.
As a result, both teams
needed a win against the b .
league - leading Buckeyes in HALFBAC
Columbus in order to secure heroes fron

The end of the 1976. story Although th
has yet to take place, but defeat Ohio;
this year's team should hope in the Rose
for as happy an ending as
the 1964 story.
THE MICHIGAN-OHIO STATE game of
1964 was, as expected, a titanic defensive
struggle. Ohio State accumulated 180 total
yards while Michigan could only muster a
total of 120.
Nevertheless, Michigan played superbly
on defense and turned Buckeye mistakes into
points.
A Buckeye mistake, in fact, led to the
game's only touchdown.
As the first half drew to a close, Ohio half-
back Bo Rein went back to receive a punt.
Michigan's punter Stan Kemp, knocked the
ball 50 yards, Rein fumbled, and the Wol-
verines' John Henderson recovered on the
Ohio State 20 yard line.
MICHIGAN QUARTERBACK Bob Timber-
lake then, ran for three yards. On the next
play, he passed to halfback Jim Detwiler for
the score.
Timberlake closed out the scoring with a
field goal at the start of the final quarter.
Michigan coach Bump Elliot said that this
was Michigan's "best defensive game all
year," and Timberlake agreed that the de-
fense had indeed won the game.
"The offense, they get you the points," 11e
said recently, "but to shut out Ohio State
Columbus isnot an easy thing to do. That
was great."
TIMBERLAKE REFLECTED further
about the game.
"I was angry (after the loss to Purdue)
because I thought we played well. I was
diqappointed because it spoiled a perfect
season, but that loss took the pressure off
us.'

e Wolverines lost to Purdue, they went on to
State in the decisive game, and secure a berth
Bowl.
He noted that if it weren't for the loss,
"we might not have won the rest of our
games."
Timberlake, now in the clergy, went on to
say that he prepared for the Ohio State game
the only way he knew how, by practicing as
hard as he could.
DETWILER, A DENTIST in Perrysburg,
Ohio, also reminisced about that season.
"I was directly responsible for the Purdue
loss," he explained. "I fumbled in the end
zone. I felt like Jim Smith must have felt
when he dropped that pass."
Like Timberlake, Detwiler was not fazed
about playing the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium.
"The whole starting backfield was from
and we had more players from Ohio
I from any other state. We were looking
fo, ward to that game."
AS IT TURNED OUT, after Michigan's vic-
tory against Ohio State, the Wolverines went
on to a 34-7 Rose Bowl victory over Oregon
State.
While both men agreed that this year's
Michigan team is very good, only Detwiler
would predict a winner.
"I think Michigan will win," he said.
"They have the all-around better team.
They'll be ready too."
When asked to make a prediction about
the outcome of this year's game, Timber-
lake inst laughed.
"The only prediction I'll make," he joked,
"is that I'll have a headache after the
game."
