Page 10-Friday, November 5, 1982-The Michigan Daily FOOTBALL 1982, Frosh thrust into action "rr..1 p~ ,/ . I Hear every exciting play with JOHN KOEHN & BILL DUFEK at the microphones J versus ILLINOIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6 12:15 p.M. 1050 on your am dial - Michigan's Football station since 1945 By RON POLLACK Michigan fullbacks Dan Rice and Eddie Garrett have had to grow up on the football field considerably faster than most freshmen. As first year players, they were sup- posed to take root on the bench, lear- ning their trade at a leisurely pace. Such a plan has gone awry. SENIOR Jerald Ingram entered the 1982 campaign as the starting fullback, but has yet to play in a game due to an assortment of nagging injuries. And so, these unsuspecting freshmen have been thrust into the starting lineup. One week Rice will start, the next weekend Garrett will get the nod. "To tell you the truth, I didn't expect to start so soon," says Rice."I expected to play, but not as soon as I did. But the opportunity was there with Jerald Ingram's injury." Garrett, on the other hand, came to Michigan optimistic that he had a legitimate shot at earning a starting job. "I knew that I had an oppor- tunity," he says. "I thought it was wide open." WHILE THEY did not arrive in Ann Arbor with similar expectations, their productivity has been the same. "There's things I do better than him and things he does better than me. So I guess we're as even as can be," says' Rice. One noteworthy likeness between the two is their need to improve their blocking. "The only mistakes we make are on the blocking calls - who to block and when," says Garrett. "That's the biggest problem we have. In high school, you block people and they just fail over. That doesn't happen in college.' "THE HARDEST thing is picking up a lot of offensive calls for blocking," echoes Rice. 'When I came here, they said 'block,' and I thought to myself, 'block? I never had to do that before.' But I like to hit, so that adjustment wasn't so bad." Another change from high school that Rice has found in the collegiate ranks is the sometimes torrid personality of his coach. "Bo intimidates me," he says. "I get nervous. In high school you just hear about him, but now he's your coach. He demands perfection. Sometimes I think, 'I'm only a freshman, what do they expect of me! I make freshman mistakes." GARRETT, IN contrast, has no such feelings of awe for the Wolverine head coach. "I don't feel intimidated," says Garrett. "When he yells at me I'm used to it since my father is in the army. So I take it as constructive criticism." Schembechler undoubtedly has more occasion to yell about missed blocks than poor rushing attempts, for the simple reason that the two fullbacks are used primarily in a blocking capacity. Rice has carried the ball a scant 29 times for 122 yards this season. Garrett only has had eight carries for 36 yards. "It does bother me that I don't get to carry the ball more," says Rice. "I want to carry the ball, but I also want to win. I'd rather win the game and throw. 50 blocks than lose and get to carry the ball." "I UNDERSTAND as a freshman that we won't get to carry the ball much," says Garrett. "I think right now we're just coming in, so they don't want to put pressure on us to carry the ball." When Rice first joined the Michigan football team, his primary concern wasn't how much he'd carry the ball, his blocking or even the intimidating presence of Schembechler. Instead, it was none other than his curreno sidekick. "When I first came here, all I heard about was Eddie Garrett this and Eddie Garrett that," says Rice. "When I first saw Eddie I thought I had made a mistake coming here. I thought, 'Oh no, he'll be here four years.' "WHEN I first came here in August, I saw a red 33 on my locker and thought 'Oh no, they're gonna red-shirt me,' continues Rice. "Someone else also had that number 33. I didn't like that. Then I saw that Eddie not only had his own number, but it was (1980 and 1981 star- ting fullback Stanley) Edwards' num- ber. I immediately took a disliking to Eddie." That dislike ended quickly, however, and the two fullbacks now share a mutual sense of respect for each other. "There's no jealousy- at all now," says Rice. "We joke and laugh. I pu for him and he pulls for me. On the road we room together. Usually when two people play the same position and are fighting for time, there is animosity. That's not the case with us."s "Dan and I are really close," says Garrett. "No matter who is in there, we help each other out. If I see something he doesn't, I'll tell him. We never have hard feelings." U U THE UNIVERSITY .in the Michigan Union Now Open! w Frieder quiets optimism Rice ... intimidated by Bo By JOHN KERR Okay Michigan basketball fans, this is the year the Wolverines turn it around, right? Eric Turner is a sophomore, Tim McCormick is back from his injury, and the Wolverines have five freshman who, if one can believe the newspapers, should be doing Gorilla dunks with alarming frequency against Michigan's poor op- ponents. But just hold on a minute. Sure, Tur- ner is a sophomore and should have an outstanding year, but McCormick hasn't played a basketball game in 15 months; and as for the recruits? Well, Bill Frieder knows that a healthy array of awards and press clippings does not win basketball games. "I'M SICK OF reading about the recruits," Frieder saidat the:annual Michigan basketball press luncheon yesterday. "We're not going to be as good as most people think. The fresh- men are not going to come in and dominate the conference," he added. "When Big Ten time rolls around we are going to have a very, very tough time." The five recruits, 6-6 forward Richard Rellford, 6-7 forward Butch Wade, 6-10 center Roy Tarpley, 6-8 for- ward Paul Jokisch, and 6-9 forward Robert Henderson, all must improve markedly if they are to compete suc- cessfully at the Big Ten level, accor- ding to Frieder. But while the Michigan coach down- plays his freshman class, there are several reasons for optimism and Frieder knows it. "The three main things, experience, height, and injuries are all taken care of now," he said. In- deed, unlike last season, Michigan is safe in all three areas. No one has any serious injuries right now, and the Wolverines have plenty of height. With a year under his belt, sophomore guard Eric Turner along with Dan Pelekoudas and Leslie Rockymore, gives the squad some much needed ex- perience in the backcourt. The return of Tim McCormick, who missed all last season with knee injuries, means the Wolverines have some height and experience on the front line. That's good news to Ike Person who can now return to the forward position. The Wolverines are a very good bet to improve on last season's 7-20 mark, ii fact Frieder's goal is to get his team in- to a post-season tournament. But over- zealous fans should pay attention to this warning from the Michigan coach: "I think it's (Michigan) going to be a team with a lot of question marks." SALE: 20% OR MORE OFF ALL ACCESSORI ES CMU bombards spikers in three straight matches By ROB POLLARD It was no surprise that the Michigan volleyball team fell to powerful Central Michigan last night at the Central Campus Recreation Building. The real surprise was that the game balls lasted long enough for CMU to complete it's 15-6, 15-9, 15-6 triumph. The Chippewas spent most of the evening blasting volleyballs over, under and around the befuddled Wolverines, and they controlled the area around the net f the entire match. THE !CHIPPEWAS raced to a 12-4 lead in the opening game, and were never really threatened in their 15-6 win. Michigan got off to an auspicious start in the second game by virtue of four con- secutive aces by captain Alison Noble. However the points would come more grudgingly from that point on. CMU fought back to tie the score at six, and then proceeded to take a one-point lead at 9-8. At this point the Chippewas began to flex their muscles. Sophomore Joanne Hoskins decided she'd see if she could make a volleyball travel at the speed of light. Hoskins' sonic spiikes whizzed by the Wolverines, drawing oohs and aahs from the crowd. Hoskins and CMU went on to take the game by a 15-9 count. Michigan hosts Wisconsin in it's final home game of the year tomorrow at 4:01 p.m. in the CCRB.
