THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Page Twenty-Three
'USC is a formidable opponent'-Lytle
Oontinued from Page 19
wiping them out.' Being a sen-
ior, I should have known the
Big Ten better than that.
I was just careless with what
I was doing. They nailed me for
it, and it was the best lesson I
learned. It helped me the rest
of the season. I came back
against Stanford and I had an
-ght first half, and a good
game. It's funny, because I
heard some people were booing
me.
Against Navy, I didn't do any-
thing because I had the flu. I
only carried the ball nine times,
something like that.
DAILY: Do ignorant fans
bother you?
LYTLE: I don't hear them. I
guess they bother my parents
more than anyone. Bit if I go
to a haskethall game, it bothers
me when I hear peonle gettin'
(lown on somenne on the court.
I'd like to take them and say,
'Whv don't yo" get down there
and show 'em how to do it?' I
mean, the nlayer might be hav-
inga had day, and everyone has
their bad days. Nobody can be
perfeCt.
What's a gtv like that trying
to nrove? Let him go to his
besness-I'd like to see him
h,- a great dav every day. He
iht lo a 3000-dollar sale on
a car. I don't hear anyone
i,mnin' on him. 'You blew that
oo, von ierk.'
Those ni vers are working
h-rd, thev've spent a lot of
honrs. I don't see why anyone
s5o I.1 have to take that. But
tho+'s the woo things are.
DAstnY: What was it like to
eo home to Ohio after the OSU
game this year?
LYTLE: I just hibernated. I
didn't even want to go out. It's
fionv-mv dad owns a store,
and there's this guy who gradu-
ated from Ohio State, a doctor.
He had all these bets on Ohio
State. He took out a gift cer-
tificate from my dad's store to
pav off his hets, and they said
"From Rob Lytle" on them.
He's a real character.
Bat mostly I just ran with my
does and snent the time with
my family. I didn't watch much
football. but I caught the last
part of the Penn State-Pitt
game. That was a melee of mis-
takes. But Pitt's got a darn good
f team, and Dorsett's a darn good
back.
I also watched part of the
USC-Notre Dame game, but I
don't think that's any indica-
tion of what they can do. I don't
think we could have played very
well coming off Ohio State, and
it's just like the USC-UCLA
rivalry out there. We're going
to have to play a heck of a
game to beat USC. They're a
formidable opponent.
But I don't get into watching
football. I just like to watch
the big games.
DAILY: Do you watch a
game any differently than the
average fan does?
LYTLE: I watch the linemen
and defensive tackles. You got-
ta follow the ball, of course, but
I enjoy watching the blocking,
schems of the teams, how they
go about making a hole for a
back. I like watching people
get overpowered - I like to
watch our line work, they're so
physical.
That's something I've always
wished I could do. I always
wanted to be about 6-8 and 270
and be a big defensive tackle
and just destroy people. I played
linebacker in high school. I
use to love defense.
DAIY:Did yu ever con-
sider playing defense up here?
LYTLE: Nobut hell, I-would
have played ing, if the d

of people get teed off and look
for excuses.
You can see right through a
lot of that stuff. They make a
lot of mistakes or do dumb
things or don't work hard
enough. I can see why they
aren't playing. I feel if you
work hard as you can without
killing yourself, it'll pay off in
the long run.
