Perfect Blue looking to batter Badgers

4

By PHIL NUSSEL
Wisconsin head coach Dave Mc-
Clain and his Badgers won't be
thinking about the past when they in-
vade Michigan Stadium tomorrow to
meet the fifth-ranked Wolverines in
the 1985 Big Ten opener.
Indeed, the past has been unkind to
the 3-0 Badgers whenever they have
met Michigan. The Wolverines lead
the series 35-9-1 with Bo Schem-
bechler-coached squads holding a 13-1
mark against Wisconsin.
LAST YEAR'S meeting was not any
more memorable for the Badgers as
they lost 20-14 in Ann Arbor after
giving the game away with six tur-
novers. But that's old news to Mc-
Clain.

Or is it?
Turnovers are still on the minds of
Wisconsin's coaching staff. "The
biggest problem (this year) has been
turning the ball over either with our
special teams or with our offense
making the mistakes," said McClain.
THE BADGERS have coughed the
ball up eight times this season, in wins
over Northern Illinois, Nevada-Las
Vegas and Wyoming. "That's got to
bother them," said Michigan
assistant head coach Gary Moeller.
"Those turnovers last year saved the
game (for us)."
The one factor that Wisconsin will
remember about the '84 meeting is
Badgers tailback Larry Emery, who
rolled up 185 yards in that game.
The senior speedster, who has 368

yards and five touchdowns in '85 was
also concerned about mistakes.
"We want to win," he said. "And to
do that we have to get the momentum
and we can't make a lot of mistakes."
QUARTERBACK problems have
been the main reason for the Badgers'
turnover problems so far. Veteran
signal caller Mike Howard went down
with a shoulder injury in the opener
against Northern Illinois. He was
replaced by redshirt freshman Bud
Keyes who proceeded to throw five in-
terceptions in the next two games.
Keyes is still slated as the starter
for tomorrow, but Howard may be
well enough to get the nod.
Outside of turnovers, though, the
Badgers have had an effective offense
averaging 34 points per game. Along

with Emery, the running attack has
been bolstered by fullback Joe Ar-
mentrout, who has rushed for 8.2 yar-
ds a click. He has 318 yards so far.
THE WISCONSIN offensive attack
is known for keeping the defense off
balance with a consistent mix of run-
ning, passing and trick plays. "I ex-
pect them to have a varied attack
from the standpoint that they'll do a
lot of things that will keep us
guessing," Moeller said.
"They ran every trick play in the
book over the last ten years," he ad-
ded. "Wisconsin has always thrown
the ball well and they've always been
able to move the ball."
Emery hinted at the Badger
gameplan when he said, "Michigan's
defense always plays back too deep,

so we might try to get the ball to (run-
ning backs in the flat) more."
TO HELP meet the challenge, the
Wolverine defense has co-captain and
inside linebacker Mike Mallory back
on a squad that has not yielded a
touchdown. Mallory missed the last
two games with a hamstring pull.
On offense, Michigan will keep
guard Mike Husar in the starting
lineup. John Vitale will fill the other
guard spot vacated by Mark Ham-
merstein, who is out for the year with
a knee injury.
Wisconsin's defense, which has
yielded 57 points, is led by a talented
group of linebackers featuring
leading tackler Craig Raddatz. The
senior has 28 tackles in '85 and sports

nine interceptions in the last two
seasons.
SCHEMBECHLER has no doub-
ts about his team's attitude going into
the contest. "The leadership is ex-
cellent," he noted. "I don't see anyone
out there that can break our spirit."
McClain, on the other hand, is
looking for a change in his team's for-
tunes against Michigan. "I've been in
these games before," he said.
"Sometimes you're lucky and
sometimes you're not.
"If we make the mistakes we made
last year, it will be a heck of a dif-
ferent game because Michigan is a lot
better football team."
The only question now is if Wiscon-
sin is a different football team.
