Leading the way is All-Big Ten selection Andre Tippett at defensive end. The 6-4, 230-pound senior accoun- ted for 66 tackles last year. "Andre is as good as any defensive end in the coun- try," said Fry. Defensive tackle Mark Bortz made 82 stops last season, third best on the team, and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors. Middle guardsPat Dean had 92 tackles last season, star- ting all 11 games for Iowa last season. Mel Cole, tops on last year's squad with [25 tackles, and Todd Simonsen, with 81 tackles, return to the linebacking corps. Six starters return to an offensive unit that accounted for 3,404 yards last season. Quarterback Pete Gales star- ted the last four games of last season, and responded with a three-touchdown performance against Michigan State. The 6-3, 175-pound senior is a co-captain for this year's Hawkeye team. JEFF BROWN, who led all Hawkeye rushers with 673 yards last season, has been moved to the wide receiver spot. Taking over the tailback duties will be J.C. Love-Jordan, a 5-11, 180-pound sophomore. Guards Dave Mayhan and Paul Postler, both 6-4and240 pounds, and 6-5, 250-pound Bruce Kittle at tackle all return to the offensive line. Gone is Jay Hilgenberg, an All- American choice last season, but filling in for him at center is 6-3, 230-pound Dave Oakes. If the Hawkeyes survive their early- season schedule, the Big Ten could give birth to a new contender. This season marks the first time since 1978 that Michigan and Iowa have met. The Wolverines won the last contest, 34-0. 6. Minnesota The joke going around the Big Ten last year was that in order for Min- nesota head coach Joe Salem to get last season's starting quarterback to attend the school, he had to sleep with the player's mother. The punch line was that the quarterback was Joe's son, Tim. No one found much to laugh about in last year's offense, though which set school records for most penalties (83), most yards penalized (809), and most fumbles (49). Further clouding the pic- ture this year for the Golden Gopher of- fense is the graduation of running backs Marion Barber and Garry White, the top two all-time rushers in Minnesota history. "THE PLACE we'll have our most problem is at the running back positions," admits Salem. So to get im- mediate help at the positions, "Smokey Joe" brought in two junior college backs to fill the vacancies. Frank Jacobs, a 6-0, 200-pounder from Cincin- nati, and Walter Ross, a 6-1, 190- pounder from Florida, are expected by their coach to become capable replacements for Barber and White. "Those two guys (Jacobs and Ross) have good speed, they have good size and we feel that they are capable Big Ten backs," said Salem. The younger Salem, Tim, was thrown into the starting signal-calling spot, because, as his father said, "We didn't have any experienced quarterbacks d we had five freshmen. It wasn't a situation that anybody wanted." In his rookie season, Tim threw for 887 yards on 81 completions. "He played well at times, he played bad at times," said Joe. Tim will have competition for the starting nod this year from Mike Hohensee, another junior college tran- sfer. In two years at Mt. San Antonio Junior College in California, Hohensee threw for 3,687, including one 494 yard single-game effort. DEFENSIVELY, THE gophers return eight regulars to a team which finished 1980 as the fourth best defen- sive squad in the Big Ten. Linebackers Glenn Howard and Jim Fahnhorst lead the pack of returnees. "As a pair, they'll rank withnanybody in the Big Ten," said Salem. Howard accounted for 126 tackles last season, while Fahnhorst was second on the team with 130. Last year's leading tackler, Mike Robb, returns to the rover position.The 6-2, 198-pound junior racked up 133 tackles last season. "We expect to be a solid defensive team," said Salem. "We were a young football team last year, and that's the reason that we had so many penalties," said the third-year head coach. So with another year of ex- perience under their belts, the Golden Gophers are hoping that they can im- 'T-SHIRT Ann Arbor's fastest! From 10-800 T-shirts screenprint- ed within 24 hours of order.

Wisconsin Question: besides Ohio State, which Big Ten team gave Michigan its toughest battle last season? Purdue? Michigan State? NOPE. Wisconsin," said Wolverine head coach Bo Schembechler. "They were the toughest team we played-defensively. We just couldn't move on them." Evidence of that was last Saturday's 21-14 upset at the hands of the Badgers. Wisconsin has a defense which finished 11th nationally against the rush, giving up a mere 117.5 yards a game. In the Big Ten, the Badger defenders were third in scoring defense (17.0 points a game) and third in total defense (311.9 yards a game). ninteen lettermen and six starters return to the Wisconsin defense in 1981, led by All-Big Ten middle guard Tim Krumrie. The 6-2, 237-pound junior led all Badger tacklers last year with 105. Another top returnee is linebacker Guy (Continued from Page 12) 4. Indiana Even Lee Corso, the Big Ten leader in joke-telling, can't find much to laugh about when it comes to the heavy per- sonnel losses suffered by his Indiana team. Not only will the Hoosier head coach have to deal with replacing nine of last year's offensive starters, but will also be faced with the loss of All- American defensive back Tim Wilbur, who was ruled ineligible for academic reasons. After finisheing 8-4 in 1979 (which would have been 8-3-1 were it not for John Wangler and Anthony Carter, who combined on a 45-yard pass play with six seconds left in the game that gave Michigan a 27-21 win), including a trip to the Holiday Bowl where the Hoosiers beat Brigham young, Indiana dropped to 6-5 last season. The downward spiral could continue if Corso doesn't find capable replacements for the departed starters. WITH THE exception of Wilbur, most of last year's defensive standouts return. The leading tackler for the hoosiers in 1980, linebacker Craig Walls, accounted for 121 tackles last season and returns to the spot this year. Defensive end Craig Kumerow had 69 tackles last season with strong safety Dart Ramsey close behind with 65. Ramsey was also second on the team in passes broken up with seven. Middle gueard Denver Smith had 58 tackles last season, 35 of them solo. Other linemen expected to help shore up In- diana's defense are Rod Walden, a 6-6, 259-pounder, Greg Brown, a transfer from Virginia, and Jimmy Hunter, who accounted for 34 tackles last season. But while the defense seems fairly set, the offense is likely to be almost completely overhauled. The leading returnee to the offensive squad is Bob Stephenson, a 6-3, 235-pound tight end who is probably the Big Ten's best at that position. With a good senior cam- paign, Stephenson could become In- diana's all-time leading receiver. But aside fromStephenson, the remainder of the offense will be different from last year. Chuck Gannon was a starter at guard last season, but he has been relegated to backup duty at tackle this year behind 6-3, 280-pound Steve Moorman, a junior who is quick for his size. The other tackle spot will likely be filled by Mark Rodriquez, a 6-1, 270-pounder who moved to the position from defensive tackle. The guard sports will be filled by George Gianakopoulos (good thing the Hoosiers don't put their last names on their jerseys), also a transfer from the defense, and Jim Sakanich, a 6-2, 255-pound junior. The center for the Hoosiers is Dennis Mills, a 6-2, 240- pound junior. WITH THE departure of 1979 Big Ten MVP Tim Clifford at quarterback, senior Chad Nuck looks to be the most likely replacement. Huck threw for 268 yards on 21 completions last season. Challenging Huck for the starting nod is Babe laufenferg, a transfer from Pier- ce Junior College in Los Angeles. The new running backs for the Hoosiers will be tailback Johnnie Salters, who played in a few games last season, gaining 105 yards on only nine carries, and handling the fullback duties will be John Mineo, a junior who rushed for 158 yards last year. In addition to Stephenson, the other receivers are Greg Brooks, a senior split end, and flanker John Boyd, a junior who caught only one pass last year. After opening the season at North- western, the Hoosiers come home toplay Southern California, Syracuse, and Michigan. When asked why he wan- ted powerful USC on the schedule, Cor- so replied, "I promised the alumni when I came here that I would show them a Rose Bowl team in six years!" 5. Iowa At the Big Ten kickoff luncheon, at Chicago's Palmer House last July, a banquet was held featuring the 10 con- ference coaches. When Iowa's Hayden Fry was introduced as the first speaker, he approached the microphone and said, "This sure is a change. Who ever heard of Iowa being first?"
