EDWARDS CAME into the spotlight on the fifth play of the ensuing drive, busting through between Lilja and right guard Kurt Becker for a 16-yard touch- down run. Haji-Sheikh's kick made it 28-0. Less than two minutes of the fourth quarter had gone by when Woolfolk capitalized on Carpenter's second in- terception and sped 66 yards for the Wolverines' fifth touchdown. Like so many of Michigan's long runs this season, it was accomplished with the help of powerful blocking on the right of the line. Turnover number six looked somewhat familiar to both teams-Cor- so hauled in a Clifford pass across the middle, was hit head-on, and he fun- bled the ball for a second time. Marion Body emerged with it from a large pile at the Michigan 36, thus giving the Wolverines satisfying field position for the umpteenth time. Freshman Steve Smith assumed the quarterbacking duties on the series that followed and mounted an option-orien- ted drive which was successful until it approached the goal line. It was within the three-yard line that-the Indiana defense finally tightened up and held Michigan on downs.

Michigan crushed the Hoosiers 35-0. ... intercepts two passes ... barrels for two TD's v I- Blue offensive line.- finest in the nation BLOOMINGTON B O SCHEMBECHLER complained about the holding penalties. Butch Bi Woolfolk and Lawrence Ricks reaped the fruits of their labor. When asked how good they are, assistant coach Jerry Hanlon just shurgged and said "ask me after the Ohio State game." But if Jimmy "the Greek" Synder was to chart college football games, he would automatically place a check mark on the Michigan side of the board no matter who the opponent was beside the category reading "offen- sive line." Sure, Woolfolk rambled for 154 yards (including a 66-yard touchdown sprint) and Ricks gained 134 (with two TD's). Sure, Don Braken averaged 45.5 yards per punt, including one booming 71-yarder. Sure, Michigan's defense played its best game of the year in shutting out a supposedly ex- plosive Indiana offense, something which hadn't been done to the Hoosiers since 1976. But from Game one, the strongest aspect of the 1980 Wolverine outfit (well, Anthony Carter doesn't count) has been the play of George Lilja, Kurt Becker, John Powers, Ed Muransky, and Bubba Paris. They average six- feet, six inches and 261 pounds. They add up to large openings in opposition defenses through which Woolfolk, Ricks, and fullback Stanley Edwards can gleefully romp. Yesterday those three and the other members of the Michigan ground contingent high-stepped for 349 yards. Most of those yards were gained in the trenches, where the Blue line was, in a word, awesome. One of the many plays which seemed to work well all afternoon was a trap in which Powers pulled from his left guard position to block the left defensive tackle and right guard Becker who crossed over and hit the linebacker. Only four minutes into the game, the duo executed this maneuver perfectly, and Ricks sprinted 29 yards into the endzone. 7-0. Twenty seconds later, after Indiana fumbled Ali Haji-Sheikh's kickoff, it was Ricks' dance again, as he waltzed through a big hole on the left side for 19 yards, and scooted around the right end on the next play for three more to paydirt.14-0. Later in the same period, Ricks rambled for 27 more yards in four carries to put the Wolverines on Indiana's 34-yard line. Then it was time for a clinic in pass blocking. John Wangler dropped back into the pocket, waited, waited some more, and finally decided that the might as well throw a strike to Carter over the middle. 21-0. And the Hoosiers, who came into the contest with such high hopes, might as well have gone home right then. Afterwards, Wangler gave credit where credit was due. "The offensive line played a great game," said the senior signal-caller, who finished a sub-' par day with four completions in 13 attempts. "From tackle to tackle they really played well." "We started out (the season) with a really fine line, and it just keeps get- ting better. If they keep improving like they have been, it could be Michigan's greatest line ever." Schembechler wasn't about to give out any trophies. The wonderful IUgrid By STAN BRADBURY, Special to the Daily BLOOMINGTON-Southwest of Indianapolis, a conservative little college town known as Bloomington arises. Rolling hills, grassy pastures, farmland and yellowing woods blend together to surround and nurture the Indiana campus. This is America's heartland. This is also basketball country, and let that never be forgotten in the wake of Michigan's 35-0 rout of the Hoosier football team yesterday. For seven weeks this fall the Indiana fans turned their attention to football, believing that Lee Corso had turned around the program, that they had a good team. But as the sun settled slowly over the pic- turesque campus, those fans have gone back into hibernation to wait for THE season to begin in three weeks. The Hoosier football program charade ended yesterday. After posing as a good football team for seven weeks, the Hoosiers' true identity was revealed by the Wolverines at Memorial Stadium. AND THE SITE of the real Indiana football program was very disturbing to Hoosier football fans. The mask of a 5-2 record and a certain bowl bid troubles persist had been destroyed. As the Wolverine buses rolled off to the airport, they left behind scars which may never heal, scars which run deep into the Indiana program, and scars which can scare away bowl representatives. It is an ugly scene, quite a contrast to the beautiful setting. Everyone thought that the Hoosiers were on their way back. They were three games over .500 and only lost to Ohio State by a respectable 10 points in Colum- bus. A closer look, however, reveals that the Hoosier wins this season come over a group which should be included in the "Who's Who of the Worst Football Teams in the Country. Colorado, Northwestern,' Duke, Wisconsin, and Kentucky have fallen to Indiana. Those teams have combined for a 7.33 record this year. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers have lost to Iowa, a team with a 3-5 record. NOW THE HOOSIERS must struggle to end the season with more wins than losses. They play at both Minnesota and Purdue and host Illinois in the final three weeks. All three teams will give Indiana a lot of problems. Michigan crushed Indiana. It was a 35-point dif- ference and it could have been worse. John Wangler played his worst game of the year. A routine passing day from the senior quarterback would have led to a complete embarrassment of the Hoosiers, similar to the one they suffered, two years ago on national TV against Nebraska, 69-17. Corso has done a lot for the Hoosiers since he came here in 1973. At that time Indiana was the doormat of the conference. At one point they had lost seven straight years to Northwestern. THE POPULARITY of football on this campus has risen, but the Hoosiers still have trouble filling their 52,000-seat stadium. And the students still are not nearly as enthusiastic about the football team as they are about their first love, basketball. The football team seems to have climaxed last year with its win over Brigham Young in the Holiday 'Bowl. It was the best the Hoosiers had ever done for Corso, and it was the best team at Indiana since it won the Big Ten championship in 1967. This year was supposed to be THE year for Hoosier football, better than last year, because the team only lost six starters from the unit that finished 8-4 in 1979 Now it will become just another year, another page tucked away in some future Indiana press guide. 0 I 0 BIG TEN ROUNDUP: Buckeyes humiliate MS U, 48-16. EAST LANSING (AP)-Quarterback Art Schlichter fired two touchdown passes to end Gary Williams and plunged for another score himself yesterday as he guided ninth-ranked Ohio State to an easy 48-16 rout of out- manned Michigan State. Placekicker Vlade Janakievski booted two field goals, reserve quarter- back Bob Atha notched two late touch- downs and tailback Calvin Murray raced for 115 yards to pace the Buckeyes' powerful ground attack. Ohio State quickly rebounded from an opening MSU score-a 34-yard pass from quarterback John Leister to flanker Tony Gilbert-to tie the score and then slowly pull away. The emotionally charged up Spartans fought OSU to a draw for one quarter, but then found themselves outmuscled on the ground and often picked apart by Schlichter in the air. The Buckeyes put the game away in the second quarter, outscoring scored four touchdowns including one on a 63-yard romp and Mark Herrmann hurled three touchdown passes yester- day to lead 20th-ranked Purdue tok a 52- 31 Big Ten football victory over winless Northwestern. Smith also scored on 5-and 1-yard runs and took a 9-yard pass from Herrmann for another touchdown. Herrmann also connected on touch- down passes of 47 yards to Bart Burrell and 12 yards to Dave Young. Herrmann left the game early in the fourth quarter after completing 17 of 21 passes for 210 yards with two intercep- tions. This gave him NCAA records of 651 completions, bettering the mark of 642 held by Chuck Hixson of Southern Methodist. The two interceptions gave him a total of 69, one more than Zeke Bratkowski of Georgia. Iowa 22, Wisconsin 13 IOWA CITY (AP)-Peter Gales lnfted a 54-vard touchdown nass to terback John Josten was sacked by An- dre Tippett. Wisconsin had to punt the ball away on the ensuing series and Gales im- mediately hit Chappelle streaking down the sideline for a touchdown with 10:30 remaining in the quarter. Minnesota 21, Illinois 18 CHAMPAIGN (AP)-Dana Noel returned a kickoff 93 yards for a touch- down in the fourth quarter yesterday to give Minnesota a 21-18 victory over Illinois. Illinois quarterback Dave Wilson tossed a pair of TD passes, including one with about a minute left in the game, but Minnesota picked up an on- side kick and held on to the ball until time ran out. Marion Barber and Garry White, Minnesota's hard-running duo, scored a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter, as the Golden Gophers spoiled Illinois' homecoming before a crowd of 51,202.E The Illini cut Minnesota's 14-point lead to four aftera TD pass from Wilson to Greg Dentino in the second quarter vand a 35-yard field goal by Mike Bass in the fourth quarter. However, Noel followed Bass' field goal with the long touchdown run, and Illinois' next scoring drive ended when Minnesota intercepted a Wilson pass in the end zone. :; I SCORES Pittsburgh 43, Syracuse 6 San Jose St. 30, Baylor 22 Southern Methodist 20, Texas A&M 0 Southern Cal 60, California 7 Stanford 54, Oregon St. 13 Big Ten Standings Conference Overall Ohio State......
