rage bix THE MICHIGAN DAILY Saturday, September 20, 1975 Saturday, September 20, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY A DEFENSE VERY SPOTTY Card's offense potent By MICHAEL WILSON Without a doubt, the Stan- ford Cardinals remember the last time they visited Michigan Stadium back in 1973, when they suffered through an em- barrassing 47 to 10 defeat be- fore 90,000 enthusiastic fans. That victory avenged a one- point defeat Stanford handed Michigan in the 1972 Rose Bowl. THIS YEAR'S September 20 contest at Michigan Stadium stands as one of the high points of the season for both teams as Stanford will be coming off an away game with Penn State, and Michigan opens its tough- est non-conference schedule in years with the Stanford game. The Cardinals offense offers a stiff challenge to the Wol- verine defense with the potent passing o feither Mike Cordova or Guy Benjamin, and the ex- plosive running of a healthy Ron Inge. Coach Jack Christian- son has all key personnel re- turning this year, and plans to operate out of the I formation as well as the traditional pro- set. "We should be very solid of- fensively," Christianson notes. "Though we won't be starting many seniors, we'll have ex- perienced players at every po- sition. We could be scoring a lot of points this year." THE CARDINALS are deep in quarterbacks and receivers this year. Junior signal-callers Benjamin and Cordova each have an excellent shot at' the starting job with added com- petition coming from senior Jerry Waldvogal. Waldvogal, in his only start of the season last year, completed 65 per cent of his passes for 229 yards against Michigan. Stanford's receiving corps is led by 1973 all-conference selec- tion Bill Singler and junior Tony Hill. Hill led the Cardi- nals in pass-catching last year, grabbing 34 aerials for 542 yards. Tight end Ted Pappas is her- alded by Christianson as "one of the outstanding tight ends on the Coast." Pappas will receive stiff competition from 6-foot 8- inch sophomore Mark Hoaglin. THE OTHER dimension to the Cardinal attack is the run- ning game and the main man in this department is junior Inge. "Ron Inge is the class of our running backs," Christian- son remarked. "We plan to get the ball to him more this year than in the past, and hopefully the I formation will allow us to do that." Complimenting the veteran running backs will be an ex- perienced offensive line led by guards Tom Tipton and Alex Karakozoff, and tackle Al Ten Bruggencate. An added plus in this department will be the depth sophomores Mark Hill and Bill Hubbard should give the Cardinals. STANFORD'Skicking game remains solid with the returning toe of Mike Langford. The defense however threa- tens to pose serious problems. With graduation eliminating the entire defensive line and two of three linebackers, Christian- son faces a stiff challenge re- building. "Our defense will definitely be young and inexperienced," Christianson said. "Because of the inexperienced in our line- up, enthusiasm may have to carry us in the early going. We'll have to run to the ball and hustle all over the field." ALTHOUGHtheCardi- nals lost all-Coast linebacker Gordy Riegel and two-year starters Forrie Martin and John Snider, five lettermen re- turn to battle for starting nods. Senior Geb Church leads the crew which includes Rich Mer- lo, Dan Francis and John Olen- chalk. Stanford's defensive second- ary essentially remained un- tounched by graduation. Juniors Paul Skrabo and Rich Waters hold down the corners while seniors Jeff Siemans and Ger- ald Wilson, and sophomore Tom Lynn vie for the safety spots.

Some might shed a tear in sympathy. At Purdue they just laugh uproariously. COACH ALEX Agase's Boiler- makers are cursed with probab- ly the thoughest schedule in the nation. Six of their opponents ranked from No. 2 to No. 12 in the final Associated Press poll. An undefeated season would mean knocking off USC (2), Michigan (3), Ohio State (4), Notre Dame (6), Miami of Ohio (10), and Michigan State (12) with Wisconsin thrown in for fun. Agase's attitude in view of all this is admirable. "I'm not the kind of football coach that at this stage of the game will say, '7-4 would be a good year.' That's conceding four defeats. If you're better than me, you'd better prove it on Saturday," he says ada- mantly. LARGE WORDS from a coach whose team was 4-6-1 last year Still, it was that kind of talk last season that enabled a shaky bunch of sophomores to upset Notre Dame 31-20 and tie Mi- ami (O.) 7-7. This fall, the crafty coach has 40 lettermen returning to West Lafayette, 13 of which were starters. Eight others started various games. At halftime the Boilermaker band features the "Golden Girl." For two halfs Agase will feature his "Golden Boy," quar- terback Mark Vitali, who passed for over 1,000 yards last fall. The Purdue coach feels the 6-4, 191-pound junior "has matured now and has .got the experience and confidence he needs to be- come a good quarterback." At tailback and fullback are Scott Dierking and Mike Pruitt who rushed for 594 and 553 yards respectively last season, good for the No. 9 and No. 10 conference rushing spots. LAST YEAR'S offensive line was "as green as grass" in Agase's words. But with a sea- son under their belts senior tackles Ken Long and Jeff Sta- pleton and junior guards Tom Gibson and Connie Zelencik could do a fine job. Gibson, though, has just come off of knee surgery and the Boiler- makersrdon't appearto have much depth behind him or the rest of the line. Wide receiver is another prob- lem. Jesse Townsend is no Lar- ry Burton and has but six min- utes of playing time. Reggie Arnold and Paul Beery are ex- perienced, but average. As far as defense is con- cerned, Agase hopes to shore up last year's leaky backfield (9th in the Big Ten) by adding in- creased speed. To meet this end, he has moved reserve tailback Mike Northington to cornerback to play beside speedy Pat Harris. ANCHORING Purdue's defen- sive line will be Outland Trophy candidate and All-Big Ten tackle Ken Novak. At 6-7 274 pounds the rugged Novak has pro scouts-,drooling, "We've al- ways felt Ken has been blessed far beyond the average ball player in talent," insists defen- sive coach Tom Roggeman. If so, Novak may have to car- ry the weight for more than one player, as the only other return- ing starter -is middle guard Mark Gorgal. Agase's corps of linebackers are all back. This includes Joe Sullivan and Bob Mannella, the top two tacklers from last year's squad, who may be called upon to do a lot more tackling this year. "We have a tough schedule," admits Agase candidly, "there's no question about that. But if this squad progresses like we think it can, we have strong feelings that it will be competi- tive with the schedule we play." Actually, 7-4 would be a good year. USC, BUCKEYES AND OTHERS Minnesota looks * - -www-wm -w w-- Purdue faces tough schedule but defense rem By JON CHAVEZ The 1975 Minnesota Gophers are seeking to change their im- age and head coach Cal Stoll is doing everything humanly pos- sible to bring that about. SO STOLL has come up with a new maroon and gold uniform to replace the old solid gold ones, a huddle which hasn't been seen for a while, and a new offense (to replace the Veer--T) which he calls "the Minnesota Multiple Pro-Style Offense." He would be smarter to pur- chase a good used defense from the neighboring Vikings. For without one, the '75 Golden Go- phers might not be any better than last year's 4-7 team.
