Page 10 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 8, 1985 4 TopI (Continued from Page 1) posed to throw," said Purdue head coach Leon Burtnett. "He doesn't throw into coverage.'' BUT intelligence is not Everett's only weapon. "He's got a strong and accurate arm," said Michigan defensive coor- dinator Gary Moeller. "His ball just whistles in there. He doesn't float it, it's just right there quick." Moeller's defense tops the Big Ten in defending the pass, giving up just 163.6 yards per game while having 16 interceptions to its credit. The Wolverines also kept Long and Trudeau out of the endzone, a feat that no other team has been able to do this season. However, Moeller still can't rest easy. "NOBODY has been able to shut him down this year," said Moeller of Everett. "He threw for 500 yards against Ohio State and Illinois. We have got to play our best football game in order to shut him down.'' Well, it wasn't quite 500 yards in both cases. Everett recorded 497 yar- ds and two touchdowns while com- Thi Happy days are here again! Going into the final stretch of the 1985 Daily Line schedule, it's still anybody's game as the Daily staffers have finally picked up some ground on the special guests. ONLY TWO GAMES separate the top four prognosticators after last week's brilliant performance by Joe ) takes on top QB pleting 35 of 55 passes in the Boiler- maker' 41-27 loss to the Buckeyes three weeks ago. The week before, the 6-5, 212-pound field general led Pur-1 due to a 30-24 upset of Illinois, passing for 474 yards and four touchdowns. 4 A little closer to home, Everett was1 the key factor last season when the Boilers knocked off the Wolverines, 31-29,as he was 23 for 32 for 290 yards; and a pair of touchdowns. The loss still stings the Michigan defense. "NOBODY, I mean nobody took our defense apart in the last few years the way he did last year," said Schem- bechler.: Of course Everett can't run the con-l ference's leading passing offense all by himself. There's got to be somebody on the receiving end of those passes. Surprisingly, his leading targets are not his wide receivers, asl is the case with most pass-oriented1 teams, but are his backfield mates. Tailback Rodney Carter, a 6-0, 206-: pound senior, tops the Boilermakers and the Big Ten with an astounding 75 catches for 852 yards while comingI r weekly Ewing, and a sub-.500 set of predic- tions by special guest, men's tennis coach Brian Eisner.1 In fact, Eisner was the first special guest to be beaten by all four Daily staffers in the same week.1 Oh well, Brian, at least the tennis team is looking good this year. You do have something to look forward to. out of the backfield. Fullback Ray Wallace has also been in on quite a few pass plays, garnering 37 recep- tions. "We're trying to throw to our backs a little more because people are trying to take our outside receivers away from us," noted Burtnett. STILL, NOT many teams have been able to stop the Boilers' receiver crew of tight end Marty Scott, flanker Mark Jackson and wide receiver Steve Grif- fin, who have combined for 97 catches and 1,381 markers. With numbers like those, it's not surprising that Moeller expects to see Purdue pass 75 percent of the time Saturday. The Boilermakers rushing game has accounted for only 805 yar- ds the entire year, but Moeller is aware that the Wolverines could be hurt if Purdue can put together a ground game to go with its air attack. z : "We don't expect them to change," said Moeller. "If they either pass or run we would be alright. But if they combine them we could be in trouble." Daly line 4 Everett .'the best' 6 NOW THAT the Daily staffers have some momentum on their side, they're going for the kill this week by selecting a special guest who describes his knowledge of college football as, "just one notch below Bo Schembechler's." No, it's not assistant football coach Gary Moeller, as you might have ex- pected. Instead, this week's special guest is men's swimming coach Jon Urbanchek. In selecting Urbanchek, Daily staf- fers are hoping that the fourth-year coach cannot match his 21-1 dual meet coaching record. In fact, we're counting on it.

While Illinois has only a slim chance at the Rose Bowl, neither team can afford a loss if it wants to welcome in a California-style New Year. Iowa's Chuck Long proved he was human last week by tossing four interceptions in the Hawkeyes' 22-13 loss to Ohio State. Mike White's Fighting Illini are kicking themselves after turning a near victory against Michigan into a tie. The Hawkeyes get the nod here because of the Iowa Stadium 'Temple of Doom.' Ohio State (7-1) at Nor- thwestern (3-5) Ohio State feasts on the Big Ten's creampuffs, Northwestern and Wisconsin, in successive weeks before heading north for THE GAME in Ann Arbor. Look for the Buckeyes to maul Northwestern which is last in the league in total offense. OSU's Keith Byars probably won't play, but it won't even matter. For the Buckeyes, the best surprise is no surprise. MIichigan State (4-4) at Indiana (4-4) MSU's offense, tailback Lorenzo White, must be black and blue these days. He's only 62 carries shy of Keith Byars' conference record for carries in a season. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers have reverted back to last season's form, losing their last four after win- ning their first four contests. MSU's recent resurgence could be enough to get the Spartans into Cherry Bowl II. Minnesota (5-3) at Wisconsin(4-4) The Badgers versus Gophers in God's country - can it get any better than this? Lou Holtz's Golden Gophers are the league's biggest sur- prise while Wisconsin is out to gain some respectability by climbing out of the Big Ten cellar.
