.i Page 8-Saturday, October 31, 1981-The Michigan Daily HOHENSEE LEADS MINNESOT A OFFENSE Wolverine gridders face tough Gophers By DREW SHARP Special to the Daily MINNEAPOLIS- The 1981 Michigan football rollercoaster makes a stop in the Gopher state today with its Rose Bowl aspirations hanging by a thread. "We have quite a chore on our han-. ds," said Michigan coach Bo Schem- bechler following the Wolverines' 38-0 shellacking of Northwestern last week. "We might very well be: playing the THE LI MICHIGAN OFF (82) Norm Betts ..............(230)1 (72) Ed Muransky...........(275) (65) Kurt Becker............(260)1 (69) Tom Dixon.............(238) (76) Stefan Humphries.......(240)I (75) Bubba Paris............(270)t (1) Anthony Carter ..........

THE "CHALLENGE" begins with the Gophers in the grassy confines of Minnesota Stadium; a surface the Wolverines have had difficulty playing on in recent years. The game begins at 2:00 EST. "Minnesota is the type of team that you aren't going to dominate," added Schembechler. "You have to be able to NEUPS MINNESOTA ENSE pass and do some other things to keep them off balance. They are also more difficult to defense than a year ago.", The reason for this difficulty is Min- nesota's junior college transfer quar- terback Mike Hohensee. His passing statistics (85 of 174 passes completed for 1230 yards and 10 touchdowns), although not earth-shattering, are enough to draw respect from Schem- bechler. "HE'S THROWN for over 1,000 yards so you believe he's good," said Schem- bechler. "He's given them the oppor- tunity to get the ball to (senior receiver Chester) Cooper, who's a great receiver." The Hohensee to Cooper connection has hooked up 32 times this season and is chiefly responsible for Minnesota's impressive showing thus far (3-2 con- ference, 5-2 overall). "I'm not really surprised we've done this well," said Hohensee, a junior who transfered from Mt. San Antonio Junior College in'California. "There really is quite a bit of talent on this team. With a few breaks, we could be 7-0 right now." MINNESOTA HAS been lucky thus far-lucky that the conference title race has been neck and neck. Seven teams are separated by one game, making this one of the wildest Big Ten seasons in a while. "It's definitely kind of a crazy season," said Gopher head coach Joe "Smokey" Salem. "The first part of our schedule has been advantageous to us. We wanted to come into the conference schedule in pretty good shape so we dropped Southern Cal from our schedule and added Oregon State. We wanted to be ready for the conference games:" Minnesota solidified its visions of a championship with a 12-10 upset over Iowa at Iowa City. According to Salem, the Gophers caught the Hawkeyes daydreaming. "I THINK WE got them flat," ex- plained Salem. "When we came down to Iowa City, all I heard was talk about the win over Michigan and the chances of going to the Rose Bowl. I read about all the bowl opportunities Iowa had. Not much was mentioned about us coming into town to play them. We definitely caught them by surprise." Salem eliminated the notion that Minnesota might suffer an emotional letdown after the Iowa thriller. "You've got to be kidding," said Salem. "You play the slightest bit flat against Michigan and they'll blow you off the field. We'll be just as pumped up for Michigan as we were for Iowa." Schembechler also realizes that he has a tough game on his hands for one particular reason. "We'll be at Min- nesota," he said. TE ST RG C LG QT WR SE QB FB, TB (83) Jay Carroll ..............

Last week's defeats of conference leader Iowa and second-place ,Wiscon- sin created a situation in which seven teams have a legitimate shot at the Big Ten championship. Ohio State and Iowa stand atop the conference at 3-1, but close behind are Michigan, Minnesota, Purdue, Illinois, and Wisconsin with 3-2 marks. The last team that won the Big Ten despite two losses was Wisconsin in 1959, but it is very conceivable that the 1981 cham- pion will have that many..

T.Buremli R.Ruiinsky H.Hardy L. a OHIO STATE at PURDUE, THE BUCKEYES have the oppor- tunity today to knock one squad out of the running as they travel to Ross-Ade Stadium to play Purdue before 70,000 fans and an ABC-TV regional audience. This marks the first meeting between the two powers in three years. In 1978 Purdue played the spoilermaker role by thwarting the Buckeyes' Rose Bowl hopes with a 27-16 win. Last week in Ohio State's 29-10 vic- tory over Indiana, back-up running back Jimmy Gayle rushed for 186 yards in 29 carries whilefilling in for All-Big Ten fullback Tim Spencer, who left the game early with an ankle injury. Spen- cer is listed as questionable for today's game. QUARTERBACK Art Schlichter is also a threat on the ground. "What makes Ohio State so tough to defense," said Purdue coach Jim Young, "is that they don't just drop back and throw the ball. With Schlicter in there, they have the ability to pass off the option play or run it." Last week Schlichter ran off of the op- tion five times for 48 yards while passing for 156 yards. Another Buckeye asset is 'the foot of placekicker Bob. Atha, who booted a record-tying five field goals last week. Purdue, though, has a potent offense of its own, featuring quarterback Scott Campbell and the nation's leading pass receiver, Steve Bryant (40 recep- tions). "You could place Bryant anywhere on the field," Ohio State coach Earle Bruce said, "and he'd be a threat. He's got fine speed and a great pair of hands. He's just an excep- tionally good receiver." BOTH TEAMS field strong defenses. The Buckeyes spotted Indiana 10 points early in the second quarter last week, but shut them out for the rest of the game. Purdue is very strong against the run and is led by sophomore linebacker Brock Spack, who recorded 13 solo tackes last week in a 27-26 squeaker over Michigan State. IOWA at ILLINOIS In the other game involving a con- ference leader, the Hawkeyes travel to Champaign in a game pitting tige league's best defense against the pass versus the nation's leading passer. Illinois quarterback Tony Eason is averaging 347 yards a game this season through the air, and has had five con- secutive 300-plus outings. Last Satur- day Eason connected on 26 of 38 attem- pts for 357 yards in the Illini's 23-20 win over Wisconsin. "I THINK IT is now time to say that you have an All-American quarterback in Tony Eason," said Illinois coach Mike White. I've had other All- American quarterbacks, and Tony's certainly in that class." At the other end of Eason's passes is the receiving trio of Mike Martin, Oliver Williams, and Darrell Smith, who have combined for 66 catches and 11 touch- downs. "We've got ot regroup this week," said Iowa coach Hayden Fry. "We' at the hands of Michigan State and Illlinois to knock them out of the con- ference lead. But today the Badgers are back at Camp Randall Stadium, and their opponent is a team that has not won a game in nearly three years. But Wildcat coach Dennis Green has not given up. "What we have to do is understand that Wisconsin is a good defensive football team, and that is why they have stayed in games. Offer- sively, they are not as strong. They have a good offense, but it is not nearly as potent as they would like it to be." INDIANA at MICHIGAN STATE The only game not involving a league contender matches Indiana (2-3) and Michigan State (1-4). Despite their record, the Spartans have played well 'I think it is now time to say that you have an All- American quarterback in Tony Eason. I've had other All-A merican quarterbacks, and Tony's certainly in that class. -Illinois head coach Mike White of late, averaging 26 points over their last three games. Last week the Spar- tans were one kick away from upsetting Purdue as placekicker Morten Ander- son missed a 52-yard field goal attempt0 on the last play of the game to lose, 27- 26. And two weeks ago the Spartans overwhelmed Wisconsin, 31-14. "Michigan State is playing very well right now," Indiana coach Lee Corso said. "They are very tough to play in their own stadium." The Hoosiers will try to beat Michigan State via the pass. Quarter- back Babe Laufenberg has completed over 60 percent of his throws this season, and big-play specialist -Duane Gunn is the leading Indiana receiver,.* averging 21.1 yards a catch. came back strong after our-other loss to Iowa State this season and I'm con- fident we can do it again. But Illinois certainly presents a challenge. It has a great passing game and puts a lot of points on the board." THOUGH THE Hawkeyes lost 12-10, last week to Minnesota, they did not allow a touchdown. And two weeks ago they limited Michigan to only one in a 9- 7 triumph.

PLEASANT- The Michigan Women's Field Hockey team took a tough loss from the stickers of Central Michigan yesterday, losing a defensive battle to the Chippewas, 1-0. The lone goal of the contest came 5:53 into the first half, and was scored 'on a penalty shot from the corner by Cen- tral's Marge Rousch. If offensive prowess were measured by shots on goal, the Wolverines played a fine game. The first half was fairly equal as Michigan had eight shots to Central's ten. But the second half, the Wolverines stormed the CMU net, out- shooting the Chippewa's 23 to 9. The loss drops Michigan's record to 9-7-1 for the season, but revenge for the Wolverine stickers is possible this morning at 9:00, when Central Michigan again provides the competition. The Wolverines will also face Northern Michigan at noon. Yugoslavia's Mima Jausovec 6-2, 6-1 and faces Romanian Virginia Ruzici in the semifinals.
