SPORTS Wednesday, January 6, 1982 The Michigan Daily 0 Two bowl victories in '81 (Continued from Page 1) thony Carter in stride two steps past UCLA defender Mike Durden for a 50-yard touchdown. "When I came up to the line, I could see the defense was in a man-for-man coverage," said Smith, who finished an up-and-down sophomore campaign by completing nine of 15 passes for 152 yards, with no in- terceptions. "I figured it would work, and it did. It was the first time we checked off at the line, and we tried it two or three other times, but it didn't work." THE BRUINS got a pair of second-half touchdownst which cut Michigan leads to 13-7 and 19-14, respec- tively, but the Wolverine ground game, Woolfolk in particular, was overpowering. Woolfolk expressed mixed emotions about playing the last game of a collegiate career which saw him top Rob Lytle's all-time Michigan rushing record and a season which saw him establish himself as a certain first-round NFL draft pick. "I felt good (about the victory), both for myself and the team," he said. "We had a very well-balanced at- tack. It got to me toward the end, knowing that I'll never be wearing a Michigan uniform again. It's been a great four years. It's one of the best decisions I ever made, to go to Michigan. I was upset at some points in time. As a competitor, I have to be. But, overall, I love the Michigan family." OUTSIDE LINEBACKER Ben Needham was another Wolverine who ended his career in memorable fashion, is his six unassisted tackles and five assists earned him Defensive MVP accolades. "I was in heaven," Needham exclaimed. "It was my last game for Michigan, and it couldn't be better, winning the MVP./It was one of my best games ever. "UCLA was good, but our game plan was super," he continued, "The difference was our defense really fired to the ball all game long."% The start of the game, played before an Astrodome crowd which was questionably termed a sellout of 40,309 by Bluebonnet officials was delayed for several minutes while Schembechler, bowl officials, and UCLA coach Terry Donahue debated the issue of whether or not the Astrodome's 25-second clock was going to be used. Schembechler won the battle and the clock was not implemented, but he easily could have lost the war if his team had not overcome the 12 first-half penalties it was charged with (to the Bruins' four). As might be expected, however, the victory dulled Bo's anger. "I've never been in a game when both teams were penalized as much as we were," he said. "But the guys who have to deliver for us delivered: Smith, Woolfolk, Carter. The secret to the game was turnovers. The second thing is the defense kept us in the game when the offense was not playing well." And poof! goes the bowl jinx. NEEDHAM, WOOLFOLK END CAREERS AS MVP'S: Muransky ready to tackle NFL Doily Photo by BRIAN MASCK Bo Schembechler cherishes the victory ride given by Bubba Paris (75) and Bruce Brown (74) after the 33-14 Bluebonnet win over UCLA in the Astrodome. By BUDDY MOOREHOUSE For the most part, Michigan coach Bo Schembechler came away from Houston a winner. His Wolverines had pounded UCLA in the Bluebonnet Bowl, 33-14, and in doing so won back some of the respect that three losses in Big Ten play had taken away from them. It wasn't all good for Bo on New Year's Eve, however, because All- American offensive tackle Ed Muran- sky, a senior with one more year of eligibility remaining, announced that ABORTION CARE * NoAge Limit " Completely Corifidential " local Anesthesia + Tranquilizers * Birth Control-VD " Board Certified M.D.'s * Blue Cross/Medicaid " Immediate Appts. 526-3600 (Near Eastland) he would not be returning to Michigan next season in favor of the pro ranks. "It's sad leaving everybody," Muransky said after the game. "But I've had my fun, so now it's time to go on to better things. This was- a great victory for us, and it's a hell of a way for all the seniors to go out. We came in as champions and we're going out as why I waited to announce it." Muransky joins two other All- American seniors who will be graduating frozn the offensive line. Guard Kurt Becker and tackle Bubba Paris, who were both named to various honor squads this season, will be heading for the Natiqnal Football League along with Muransky, leaving ............k S:i>:Ss:i fi ......:. -..,...._. .......,".;i$::i . . i i:'":":iv J;,'.?:R:4:
