Hy BARB BARKER
At his weekly press luncheon yesterday, Michigan
head coach Bo Schembechler denied that his team
has any hard feelings toward Illinois and tongue-
lashed the media for suggesting that it did.
Schembechler was upset with the press for billing
this weekend's confrontation in Champaign as a
grudge match between two teams that embrace con-
tradictory philosophies.
"ALL YOU guys are doing is looking for something
sensational," he said. "I don't have anything against
(Illinois head coach) Mike White. He's called me
several times during the year. You guys are putting
words in people's mouths.
"You're trying to create something which just
isn't there," he continued. "But that's journalism.
I'm not going to discuss it anymore. You want to
discuss football, I'll discuss football."
Comments such as the following, however,
suggested that some Wolverine team members view

this weekend's game as more than just another Big
Ten matchup.
"WE'RE REALLY hungry for this game," said in-
side linebacker Mike Boren after the Minnesota
game. "We want to win for (Michigan assistant)
coach (Gary) Moeller, because they fired him. He
didn't bring in junior college transfers like that Mike
White guy. He went about it the 'clean way.'
Moeller, Michigan's defensive coordinator, served
as head coach in Champaign before joining the
Michigan coaching staff last year.
Schembechler preferred to set aside the issue of the
grudge match and talk about the quality of this year's
Illini squad instead.
"This is the best Illinois team we've played since
I've been coaching," he said. "I think they're going
to complete a lot of passes . The younster (Illinois
quarterback Tony Eason) is an excellent thrower,

he's very hard to defend and he has excellent
receivers."
STATISTICALLY, Schembechler's worries about
the Illini air attack do have foundation. The
Wolverines' pass defense currently ranks last in the
nation as they have allowed an average of 266 passing
yards per game. Michigan, however, has given up
only an average of 84 yards per game on the ground,
and they lead the Big Ten in rushing and scoring.
"We've been passed on a lot," said Schembechler.
"But we've been ahead in those games. What worries
me is that we haven't been in a fourth-quarter
dogfight since UCLA, and we lost that."
Toward the end of the press conference Schem-
bechler began to display a better humor.
"When I retire I'm not going to miss you people a
lick," he said to the media. "I wouldn't want your job.
I wouldn't want to talk to guys like me either. That's
worse yet."

Smith named Player of the Week

(UPI) - Michigan's
Steve Smith is looking forward to
playing quarterback against Illinois
this week. He would have looked for-
ward to it a lot more if the Illini had not
stumbled in their last outing.
"It's going to be like a championship
game," Smith said yesterday. "It's too
bad it won't be.
"THEY'VE 13EEN gunning for us all
season," he said. "And we've been
looking forward to playing them.
"I wish they hadn't lost," Smith said.
"Now it won't be the same."
Those comments came after Smith
was informed he'd been named UPI's
Midwest Offensive Player of the Week
for his performance in leading
Michigan to a 52-14 victory over Min-
nesota.
SMITH THREW three touchdown
passes and ran the ball across the goal
line once. It was the second time this
season and fourth time in his career
Smith has thrown three touchdown
passes in a game.
The junior from Grand Blanc has
thrown 26 TD passes in his career and is
second to Rick Leach's Michigan
record of 48. He has completed 20 of his
last 28 passes for 362 yards and six
touchdowns..
"I've only had one bad game," Smith

said. "That was when I was 14-for 37
against UCLA."
Smith has been intercepted 11 times
this season but has boosted his com-
pletion percentage to a respectable
.535 (85 for 159) and thrown for 1,240 yar-
ds. That's not Tony Eason territory
(2,776) but Smtih hasn't thrown 376
times, either.
"I had one interception Saturday - the
first one I've had in a long time-and that
was on a tipped ball. I don't think, ac-
tually, I'm throwing that much better
than I was earlier. It's just that inter-
ceptions take your efficiency rating
down."
What also takes your passing ef-
ficiency down, in the opinion of
Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler, is
getting taken down when you're run-
ning the ball.
Some observers think Schembechler
isn't asking Smith to run as much as he
has in the past, to reduce the abuse on
his body.
"I think I've been running the ball
just as much lately," Smith said. "I

think I ran six times against Minnesota.
That's about average, although I ran
nine or ten times against Wisconsin.
"I think whether it affects your
throwing depends how much you get
beat on," he said.
"I haven't been hit hard lately."
