The fullback for Donahue's squad is
5-11, 230-pound steamroller Frank
Bruno, who has carred the ball 73 times
for 261 yards this season, a 3.6 yard
average. The Metuchen, N.J. native
has picked up three touchdowns for the
Bruins in 1981.
Up front, the formidable UCLA line is
anchored by senior right tackle Luis
Sharpe. The 6-5, 250-pound Sharpe is
certainly no stranger to the Wolverines,
as hewent to Los Angeles after playing
his high school football for South-
western High School in Detroit.
SHARPE WAS named to several pre-
season All-American teams, and looks
to be one of the first linemen taken in th
upcoming National Football League
THE LIN
MICHIGAN

draft.
Holding down the other side of the
line is 6-6, 240-pound Chris Yelich and 6-
4, 250-pound Mike Jolly. Senior center
Dave Otey, at 6-1 and 255 pounds, is
considered one of the premier centers
on the West Coast.
In kicker Norm Johnson, a senior
from Garden Grove, Cal., UCLA
possesses one of the most potent
kicking games in the country. In ad-
dition to being strong on kickoffs, John-
son has been perfect on extra points (32
of 32), and successfully converted 14 of
19 field goal tries.
"This is a great match-up," assessed
Schembechler. "At the end of the
season, they (the Bruins) were the hot-
test team on the West Coast."

'78 to '81, Leach to Carter...
..goodbye, seniors
T HIS IS FOR the seniors. Not the seniors who carry the football, but
rather the ones who haul books from class to class. Along with the 30
graduating football seniors who received their traditional rings from the
University of Michigan Club of Greater Detroit last week, there is another
group of students who have also waved goodbye to Saturday afternoons in
Michigan Stadium-the 4,000 or so graduating seniors from the class of 1982.
Sure, some of these seniors will be active alumns, but, as they say, it won't
quite be the same. They have plunged headfirst into the Michigan football
tradition in the last four years, but it's all over now. They, too, participated
in their last home game on November 21, 1981. These seniors have seen
many changes in four years, from the end of "passing-up" to the beginning
of passing in the Big Ten. A recap follows:
1978
RECORD--10-2; ROSE BOWL LOSS TO USC, 17-10
When your grandchildren ask you about the incomparable Rick Leach,
you can say "I watched Leach in his senior year." That's right, the class of
'82 witnessed one of Michigan's greatest in the 1978 season. For those who
ventured to hostile South Bend as a freshman (only the second week of
classes), the trip was well worth the abuse. Leach performed brilliantly, as
Michigan pounded Notre Dame, 28-14, in a game which regenerated one of
the country's most intense rivalries.
This was also the "Year of the Spartan," as Michigan State captured Big
Ten titles in football, basketball, and baseball. Against MSU in Ann Arbor,
thousands of freshmen turned into instant Spartan-haters as Michigan State
beat Michigan, 24-15, and the intrastate rivalry was at its fiercest. Leach,
("I've never seen a player more jacked than Leach for the Michigan State
game his senior year") a former team member explained, was too jacked
and threw three passes to the Spartans.
1979
RECORD-8-4; GATOR BOWL LOSS TO NORTH CAROLINA, 17-15
The image of a forest of Buckeyes crashing around a helpless Brian Virgil
as he attempted to punt in the Ohio State game says it all for the disappoin-
ting 1979 season. The lowest point in four years had to be the loss to North
Carolina in the Gator Bowl, extending Bo Schembechler's winless bowl
streak and ending the misery of an 8-4 season. This is the year which saw one
of the worst kicking games in the nation, Bo shoving a Daily reporter, and
losses to Notre Dame (12-10), Purdue (24-21), Ohio State (18-15) and North
Carolina (17-15).
Nineteen seventy-nine was also the year of the most exciting play in the
storied history of Michigan football. With the game tied at 21-21 and only
seconds remaining, two plays turned an embarrassing tie into a spectacular
victory. Larry Reid ran over left end and was about to be tackled (no time-
outs left for Michigan) when he tossed the ball out of bounds to stop the clock
with six seconds remaining. John Wangler then hit freshman Anthony Car-
ter on a pass, and the future All-American dodged two Hoosiers and danced
into the end zone. Three years later, the class of '82 is still finding itself daz-
zled by number '1.'
1980
RECORD-10-2; ROSE BOWL WIN OVER WASHINGTON, 23-6
The pits of 1979 sprouted Bo's first bowl victory in 1980, as the 8-4 season of
a year ago faded into the remote past. After alternating quarterbacks
resulted in a slow start (1-2, 1-5 counting the last three games of 1979), John
Wangler led Michigan to its most memorable season in years. The year was
not all roses, however, as those who ventured to South Bend will attest. The
sight of Harry Oliver's field goal sailing through the uprights to give Notre
Dame a 29-27 victory is ingrained in the memories of many. Some of the
distinct memories of 1980 are Bob Ufer's inability to get the score correct af-
ter the Notre Dame heart-breaker, Robert Thompson's crunching sack of
Art Schlichter in Columbus, the Ufer pep rally before the Rose Bowl, and the
performances of Butch Woolfolk and Carter in crucial games.
1981
RECORD-8-3; BLUEBONNET BOWL ? AGAINST UCLA
The most ballyhooed team in the class of 82's (our years, the 1981
Wolverines were ranked number one in the preseason by several
publications. The Rose Bowl was not the question-a mythical national title
was the ultimate goal. The number-one ranking lasted less than one quarter
as Wisconsin shocked the football.world by beating Michigan, 21-14, in
Madison, starting a national trend of upsets of the top-ranked teams.
Michigan ended up 6-3 in the Big Ten, Bo's worst record ever in the con-
ference. The pain of losses to Wisconsin, Iowa (9-7), and Ohio State (14-9),
was somewhat eased when the Wolverines discovered that UCLA awaited
them in Houston. The Bruins challenge lifted downtrodden spirits and cast a
new light on the season. A season-ending win over UCLA would salvage
some pride.

Butler and Blanchard Montgomery support nose guard Karl Morgan to form a
hgtight middle for the Bruins. Montgomery, a 6-2, 229-pounder from Granada Hills,
Ten Honors Calif. is the fourth-leading tackler on the squad with 77 stops to his credit. The trio
