The Michigan Daily-Friday, December 12, 1980-Page 11 igein rematch Washington to gain more respect from Wol (Continued from Page 9} This past season Flick's aerials ac- counted for 2,178 yards and 15 touch- downs, as he completed an even 60 per- cent of his tosses (168 or 280). His career completion percentage of .603 (252 of 418) ranks as the best in Huskie history, his 24 touchdowns put him at third in that department, and he is four- th in yardage with 3,171. "I think it's important to judge quar- terbacks in terms of whether or not they led your team to victory," James said. "We put a lot of pressure on Tom, in terms of injuries to our running backs, and in the fact that opposing teams knew we wouldn't let him run or scramble. "WHEN THEY BLITZED, they knew where he would be," he continued. "Tom still came through and had a big year. The other thing about him is that he is an excellent. team player."

"We were both picked to finish in the middle of the standings. We were both looking at rebuilding years. "They started out slow, like us. They lost a couple games early, like us. They came on strong, like us. I think their defense came on as strong as anybody in the country." That it did. The unit which suffered almost as many graduation losses as did Washington's (with only three star- ters returning from 1979) established itself as one of the nation's best, blanking indiana, Wisconsin, Purdue, and yielding three points to Ohio State.

"We asked Stanley to make the move from tailback to fullback," Bo said. "It's not an easy move because more blocking is involved, and the back is closer to the line of scrimmage. Stanley struggled in the early part of the year, but towards the end of the year he star- ted to show some real improvement." While Rose Bowls are always special to the players, quarterback John Wangler must be walking tall nowadays. He came back from his Gator Bowl injury to complete 105 of 192 passes for 1,377 yards and 15 touch- downs. And Bo sure appreciates the ef- fort. "John Wangler's really been an un- believable story this year," he said. "He came back Sfrom so much to succeed. In many GTON _ ways his story is GTON also the story of this year's team.

"Jim Smith could do some things Anthony can't because he was bigger and stronger, but for pure, raw talent, Anthony is the best." Bo hopes that the presence of Carter will be able to help him win his first bowl. "During the last few weeks of this - season, we felt that we could beat anyone the way we were playing. If we do the things in the Rose Bowl that we did over the last of the season, I feel that we can beat Washington." is n e impson (21 vac (235) rraway (23 s (241) (236) avino (220) sh (205) enter (166) Ly (174) i (198) on (173) Flick enjoys the (50) Paul Girga luxury of several (9) Brian Carp available targets, (3) Marion Bod as seven Huskies pulled in more (13) Keith Bosti than 10 reception.

UP FRONT, the Huskies feature a pair of bookend tackles that match up physically with the Michigan duo of Ed Muranski and Bubba Paris. Seniors Randy Van Divier and Curt Marsh stand 6-5, VanDivier tipping the scales at 280 and Marsh at 275. Placekicker Chuck Nelson tied a Pac- 10 record with,18 field goals (in 26 at- tempts) in '80, including the 25-yarder with two ticks on the clock which beat Stanford. The punting hasn't been quite as effective, with Rich Camarillo averaging 37.9 yards per kick, quintet can live up to its post-season billing in Pasadena. Center George Lilja, guards John Powers and Kurt Becker, and tackles Muranski and Paris all were named to one All-Big Ten team or another. THESE GUYS consistently opened wide holes for fullback Stanley Edwar- ds and tailbacks Butch Woolfolk and Lawrence Ricks to run through all season. Woolfolk ended up nosing out the other two in the yardage derby with his big day against the Buckeyes. He finished with 860 yards, while Edwards accumulated 833, and Ricks totaled 829. Schembechler gives a lot of the credit to Edwards, who moved from his natural tailback position to fullback 71t1iliJill, 7 Total First Downs Rushing Attempts Rushing-Yards Avg. Yards Per Game Avg.

John Wangler's counterpart at Washington, Tom Flick (left) completed 60 percent of his passes during the regular season, and leads a balanced attack. The running game is anchored by Toussiant Tyler, a converted tailback who now occupies the fullback spot. Tyler overcame some early-season injuries to ac- cumulate nearly 700 yards in rushing for the Huskies. Long , 45 - rIT- Avg. 52 1 Field Goals Att.

Take a joyous event and make it an. occasion to have a good time in reminiscence once per annum. But when Michigan and Washington take the field in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, it will mark the third an- niversary (minus a day) of not-so- happy afternoon of football for the Wolverines. On January 2, 1978, the heavily-favored contingent from Ann Arbor was stunned by the Huskies, 27- All-big Ten center George Lilja, for example, snapped for punts and extra points as he waited for senior Walt Downing to move on. During the first quarter, in fact, Lilja made his presen- ce known, albeit in an unpleasant way, by snapping the pigskin low to punter John Anderson and forced him to drop his knee to the turf, where the Huskies took over. "We were highly rated going into the game, and we lost," Lilja recalled. "We remember is the effort given as we tried to come back." Fifth-year senior guard John Powers had seen a lot of action as a sophomore lineman in 1977, starting ten games in place of injured veterans John Geisler and Bill Dufek. But by the time of the all-important matchup with Ohio State, everybody was healthy, and Powers found himself stalking the sidelines during the next two outings. HIS RECOLLECTION IS not a more on the mental aspects, and it helped prepare us for USC." THEY WERE ALL unanimous, however, on one point. "We're a lot closer, and we play a lot more together this year," Powers said. "It's taken a lot of hard work to get where we are, and that has brought us all closer. We went through some rough times, and those rough times helped to improve us." Mitchell concurred that ,the '80
