4 Page 10-Sunday, November 21, 1982-The Michigan Daily Bucks down 4 M 'but outlook still rosy (Continued from Page 1) failed to threaten the remainder of the game and the Buckeyes had their second straight victory over Michigan and their first at home since 1974. "I feel very, very good right now," said OSU head coach Earle Bruce out- side the jubilant Buckeye locker room. "I feel our football team played about as well as they can possibly play." However, no measure of excellence on the playing field yesterday would have given Bruce and his players what they wanted the most-the Big Ten championship and the Rose Bowl bid. Michigan wrapped up both last week and will head to Pasadena with an 8-3 record (8-1, Big Ten). Ohio State, now 8- 3 (7-1, Big Ten), will face either Brigham Young or New Mexico in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego on Decem- ber 17. "THERE IS nothing we can do about that," said Bruce. "We knew we had to win them all and we did not do that. We came up percentage points short." The overflow crowd evidently felt that the Buckeyes were more deserving of the Rose Bowl bid as it began to chant, "We're number one, we're number one, just moments before rushing the field and downing the south end zone goal post with still five seconds to play. However, No Michigan players were willing to turn in their California tickets. "We. represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl," said linebacker Mike Boren. "They lost to Wisconsin and we beat Wisconsin. They said they could beat Iowa but I don't know." "We're just looking forward to the Rose Bowl," said defensive back Jerry Burgei. "It just makes us want to win it more." The game started in a slow drizzle but the Wolverine offense wasn't all wet early in the contest. Michigan drove 72 years on its first possession only to see Smith bobble the snap from center and linebacker Curt Curtis recover on the OSU eight-yard line. After an Ohio State punt Michigan drove again, this time for 52 yards and a one-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Lawrence Ricks. Ali Haji- Sheikh's conversion made it, 7-0. After the Buckeyes were forced to punt again Smith threw the first of his interceptions, this one picked off by linebacker Rowland Tatum at the Wolverine 29. The Buckeye offense then finally began to move, and fullback Vaughn Broadnax bulled his way over right tackle on fourth-and-one for six yards and a touchdown. The following Michigan drive was stopped at the OSU 22-yard line when Smith again fumbled the snap from center. "OUR quarterback Smith did not play well today," said Schembechler. "He had some good third-down conver- sions but overall his performance was not great. "Our offense was streaky, but we still should have been good enough to get the ball in the end zone. Except for the second quarter when Ohio State really moved the football on us, our defense really did not play too badly." Indeed, the Buckeyes began to wear down the Wolverine defense in the second quarter. Tim Spencer, who led 4 all rushers on the day with 124 yards, galloped 25 yards to put the ball at mid- field. Quarterback Mike Tomczak then guided the Buckeyes to theWolverine nine where, on fourth-and-one, rroad- nax picked up two yards and the first down. Spencer eventually scored from the two with 33 seconds left in the half to put Ohio State up for the first time on the afternoon, 14-7. Michigan got its first big break early in the third quarter when Tomczak was sacked and fumbled the ball. Mike Hammerstien recovered and the Wolverines too over on their own 37. Smith then directed Michigan's lone second-half scoring drive and went the final four yards himself on a fourth- and-one. Haji-Sheihk's conversion tied the game and set the stage for the last wave of Michigan turnovers. Inside linebacker Mike Boren leads a swarm of Wolverines around Ohio State's Vaughn Broadnax, but the 260-pound fullback got the best of the Blue defenders yesterday by rushing for 66 yards and scoring a touchdown. Buckeyes win By RON POLLACK Special to the Daily COLUMBUS - With 35 secnds left in Ohio State's 24-14 victory over Michigan yesterday afternoon, the cheer"We're number one, we're num- ber one, we're number one.. ." rocked Ohio Stadium. All this.for a team which is going to spend the post season playing in the Holiday Bowl. The Ohio State fans felt justified in making this appraisal, given the fact that the Buckeyes and Wolverines each have lost on Big Ten game, with the Ohio-based team getting the nod on head-to-head competition. MICHIGAN, however, will represent the conference because it played one more Big Ten contest than did Ohio State. The Wolverines' loss yesterday dropped their conference record to 8-1. The Buckeyes' Big Ten record is now 7-1 The only conference team that Ohio State did not have on its sch Iowa.

"We represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl,' said Wolverine linebacker Mike Boren who was involved in 18 tackles on the day. "They lost to Wisconsin, we beat Wisconsin. They say they could beat Iowa, but I don't know because Iowa beat Illinois." One Ohio State player who Dunaway and Boren felt no compunction to respond to, was tight end John Frank who expressed his best wishes to Michigan. "Michigan is a good football team and I hope they beat whoever they play in the Rose Bowl," said Frank. "We Down but not out MICHIGAN First Downs......... Rushing (att/yds) .. Passing (net yards)....

Michigan lost three fumbles and had three passes intercepted yesterday. It was almost more than Wolverine head coach Bo Schembechler could stand. "We just gave them the game," said a distraught Schembechler. "We just handed it to them. We didn't lose the game, we gave it away." " In a position to empathize with poor ol' Bo is Michigan linebacker Mike Boren who, like his befuddled coach, watched these frequent miscues with a feeling of forlorn helplessness. "It is frustrating," said Boren. "But you can't let it get you down. You just have to go out there and try to rise to the occasion. Today, they capitalized on our turnovers." e Michigan-Ohio State fan taunt number one-a Wolverine follower on a sidewalk jammed with hordes of Buckeye fans was heard to gloat, "Excuse me, Big Ten champions coming through." * The "they knew it was coming, but still fell for it" award goes to the Michigan offense. The Wolverines, in scouting Ohio State, found out that Buckeye linebacker Marcus Marek likes to shout out opposing team's signals prior to the snap of the ball in key situations. So, when Michigan had the ball at the Ohio State eight-yard line on the first offensive series of the game, Marek called out the signal and the ball was hiked clear over quarter- back Steve Smith's right shoulder. In no major surprise, Schembechler was a bit irked by Marek's action. "I am upset because Ohio State's linebacker was permitted to jam our quarterback's count which upsets our rhythm and timing. We knew about it before the game, because I had seen it on film. I mentioned it to the officials before the game and at halftime, but no decision was taken. It is definitely a violation of the rules and the penalty should have been for unsportsmanlike conduct. + Would the Wolverines ever make use of such a tactic? "No," said Smith. "It's against the rules and we play clean. Win or lose, we play clean." " Michigan-Ohio State fan taunt number two-After yesterday's game a scarlet-and-gray clad Buckeye fan shouted for all to hear, "They should change the name of the Rose Bowl to the loser's bowl after today's game." * Michigan-Ohio State fan taunt number three-a Michigan follower, responding to this idea said, "Well, at least we're going to the Rose Bowl." * Ohio State's Marek called yesterday's game his team's Rose Bowl since the Buckeyes were eliminated from Pasadena contention last week. Not to be outdone, the Wolverines' Craig Dunaway said, "The loss has a bitter taste now because Ohio State is as big as the Rose Bowl could be. Ohio State is the game you come to Michigan to play in." * But while the Wolverines lost their annual blood-bath against the Buckeyes, a number of their players felt no need to apologize for their going to the Rose Bowl. "We shouldn't have any bad feelings," said strong safety Keith Bostic. "We're the champions of this conference." Said Smith: "You lose and you're upset, but we're the Big Ten champions and are going to the Rose Bowl." - Michigan-Ohio State fan taunt number four-An Ohio State partisan said to his friend from Michigan, on Friday night, "Let's get some Wolverine meat to eat.. . Chicken." * There was a new look Anthony Carter in this weekend's game. On one play, Carter lined up in the running back slot. From this formation he swung cou d esenziaai epa Michigan it's a successful season." Rose Bowl or not.
