QB s featured in 'M'-Illini battle The Michigan Daily-Saturday, October 25, 1980-Page 9 MICHIGAN ILLINOIS OFFENSE By GARY LEVY Michigan and Illinois will each showcase quarterbacks at the peak of their respective games when the Wolverines host the Illini this afternoon fore an expected Homecoming crowd 105,000 in Michigan Stadium. John Wangler, who last Saturday rid- dled the Minnesota secondary in com- pleting 16 of 22 passes for 227 yards, will match up against the Illini's controver- sial Dave Wilson, who broke into the Big Ten record book with a 35-of-58, 425- yard effort against Purdue. Wangler, who has shown no traces of The starting time for today's Michigan- Illinois football game has been mored up to 12:35 p.m. for the benefit of ABC telerision, which is telerising the game on a regional basis. This will be the Wokerines first net- work telerision appearance this season. Radio stations WAARM(1600), WPAG (1050), WJR (760), WWJ (950), and W'UOM(91.7 FM) will broadcast the game. severe knee injury he suffered in last ear's Gator Bowl, is mounting an assault on several Wolverine passing records. He currently ranks sixth among all Michigan quarterbacks in passing yards with 2,270, third in career touchdown passes with 18, and sixth in career completions with 144. Wilson has been the focus of an un- Wangler, Wilson to set aerial fireworks precedented case involving academic eligibility-the Illinois Supreme Court recently overturned a conference ruling that ordered Wilson off the field for the remainder of the season. The junior college transfer has taken ad- vantage of the court's ruling, leading the Illini to a 3-1 Big Ten record and 3-3- 1 overall mark., Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, who has had the dubious task of preparing for aerial attacks in previous weeks, said he is well aware of Wilson's talent and the potent passing attack the Illini have displayed under first-year head coach Mike White. "Illinois has shown that they can move the football through the air," said Schembechler. "They have had success throughout most of the season. We respect what they can do with the foot- ball when they decide they want to throw. "They have a sophisticated passing attack, but it is hard for me to believe that it is any more difficult to prepare for than the California game a few weeks ago." Wilson, unlike Wangler, has been able to spread his throws among several different receivers, thus making matters more difficult for the Michigan secondary. His primary targets are wide receivers John Lopez (22 catches for 325 yards), Greg Den- tino (21 for 216 yards), and fullback Mike Murphy (21 for 156 yards). While the Illini have spread the statistical numbers in their running game in just as equitable a fashion, it isn't due to a wealth of talent. White has had trouble formulating a consistent ground attack, the primary reason being injuries. The team's leading running back, Mike Holmes, has been sidelined with injuries and will probably not see action today. Converted fullback Wayne Strader will get the starting call at tailback, while Calvin Thomas, who has averaged only 3.6 yards per carry thus far, will start at fullback. Wangler has been targeting most of his passes for Anthony Carter, who pulled in nine of them against Min- nesota for 142 yards and two touch- downs. Carter has 26 receptions on the season, gaining 388 yards, while tight end Norm Betts (11 receptions) and wide receiver Alan Mitchell (7 catches) are a distant second and third behind him. Several key Michigan performers are suffering nagging injuries, but defen- sive back Marion Body (bruised knee), and tailbacks Lawrence Ricks (sprained ankle) and Butch Woolfolk (bruised ribs) are expected to play.

Purdue hosts Michigan State in an important game for both squads. The Boilermakers look to continue their surge toward the Rose Bowl, while the Spar- tans will be trying to avoid their first-ever 0-4 league start. Mark Herrmann leads e conference in passing efficiency, and split end Bart Burrell is the second- ranked receiver in the nation. JOHN LEISTER recorded his third straight 200-yard passing effort for Michigan State last week, and for the first time in a month, the Spartans are healthy. However, their inexperienced secondary will have fits controlling Herr- mann. Earle Bruce's 10th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes charge into Camp Randall Stadium to meet Wisconsin, where the Buckeyes' conference-leading ground at- tack will run head on into the Badgers' top-rated rushing defense. Quarterbact Art Schlichter will undoubtedly take advantage of Wisconsin's vulnerable secondary, aking use of standout receiver Doug Donley. The Badgers' anemic offense showed signs of stability last week, as quarter- back John.Josten directed the option attack for 244 yards. ,LTHOUGH IOWA has been playing consistent football of late, something always seems to go wrong for coach Hayden Fry's team. This week, the Hawkeyes travel to Minnesota to take on a mistake-prone Gopher squad. The Hawkeye defense has not allowed a touchdown in two of its last three games, and Phil Seuss leads an offense that has been unable to score, garnering only eight touchdowns all season. Tailbck Marion Barber paces the potent Gopher ground game, complemented by fullback Garry White and freshman quarterback Tim Salem. Minnesota's defense has been adequate, but penalties and turnovers have spelled a lack of overall success for Joe Salem's team. ' AFTER A TOUGH 27-17 loss to Ohio State last Saturday, Indiana moves on to vanston to face hapless Northwestern. Even if the Hoosiers were to lose two of their last five contests (they must face Michigan November 1 and Purdue Novem- ber 22), they would finish 7-4 and could still maintain hope for a second consecutive bowl bid.
