Bo frets oveir
By PAUL HELGREN
Before the season began, offensive line coach Paul Schudel
pondered the uncertainty of his blockers. After years of fear-
some fronts, Schudel figured he had his work cut out for him.
"It's going to be fun this year," he said. "I get to coach for a
change."
The results of the first two games indicate further im-
provements must be made if Michigan's offensive line is to
give quarterback Jim Harbaugh the protection he needs to
gain confidence.
THE OFFENSE MOVED the ball adequately against
Miami in game one, but head coach Bo Schembechler men-
tioned the offensive line as an area needing improvement. In
last Saturday's 20-11 thumping at the hands of Washington,
the Wolverine wall caved in. Harbaugh was sacked five times
and was forced to scramble from the Husky rush all day.
Schembechler, who has seen many of his linemen go to the
professional ranks and is thus used to superior performers up
front, declined to point the finger of blame in any one direc-
tion. Rather he said the entire line-tackles Clay Miller and
Mark Hammerstein, guards Bob Tabachino and Doug
James, and center Art Balourdos-was guilty of a foul-up
sometime during the game.
"It was no one guy," Schembechler said during his weekly
Monday press conference. "It was like, this is my turn, now
it's your turn."
THE 16-YEAR COACH said the run-blocking was decent,
with Wolverine backs averaging 3.9 yards in 42 attempts. But
porous pass-blocking gave Harbaugh the opportunity to
become well-acquainted with Husky defensive linemen.
Quipped Schembechler, "Maybe I'm going to have to have
them (offensive linemen) start tackling, I don't know."
The most distressing part about the shortcomings of the of-
, 1984
line play
fensive line is that Harbaugh has been forced to throw on the
scamper quite often. Poor protection has made it impossible
to evaluate the rookie quarterback, according to Schem-
bechler.
"I'M NOT GOING to judge him (Harbaugh) when he's un-
der duress," Schembechler explained. "We've got to solve
that problem."
. Schembecbler and offensive line coaches Schudel and
Elliot Uzelac have four days to correct the situation. Wiscon-
sin and pre-season All-American linebacker Jim Melka in-
vade Ann Arbor on Saturday. The line, and all the
Wolverines, had best satisfy the Michigan general if they
plan on staying on the first team.
"If we don't play hard this week," Schembechler said,
"then you figure I've got to take some drastic action."
BLUE BANTER: Tailback Rick Rogers will miss Satur-
day's game. He injured a leg in the fourth quarter against
Washington. . . Middle guard Al Sincich, who sat out Satur-
day with back troubles, could also miss the Wisconsin con-
test. "I don't know," Schembechler said when asked of Sin-
cich's status. "He never tells me if he's hurt. He's tough".. .
Include CBS commentator Pat Haden among the 103,000
"dumb asses" watching the game Saturday. Haden, like
many Michigan Stadium boo-birds, blasted Schembechler's
decision not to go for points against the wind at the end of the
first half. Schembechler's response? "Well," he said with a
grin, "that's why he's out of football,".. . Washington's 20-11
victory was the worst defeat for Michigan at home since
Michigan State downed the Wolverines 24-15 in 1978. . . Split
end Vince Bean's nine receptions this season move him into a
tie for fourth with Jim Smith, currently a member of the
Birmingham Stallions, among all-time Michigan pass cat-
chers. Each has 73 grabs.

Congratulations Al Rossi! You are
the big cheese, numero uno, and most of
all you are the winner of the first Grid-
des of the 1984 football season.
Rossi correctly picked the winners in
16 of 20 games last week, quite an ac-
complishment considering the number
of upsets that occurred. For his efforts,
Rossi will receive a free, one-item,
small pizza from Pizza Bob's.
Although we haven't gotten in touch
with Al yet, we have a pretty good idea
what he is thinking right now. Probably
something to the effect of: "Wow, I've
never won anything before. It was so
easy - all I had to do was bring my
picks to the Daily at 420 Maynard and
that pizza was mine. You would have to
be an idiot not to play Griddes."
You heard what Al might say. So
bring your picks down to the Daily and
get in on the action.
