On offense, Falcon coach Jerry York plans to "attack a little more than usual and try to put a lot of shots on net" to test the young goalies early. The leadingesharpshooters for Bowling Green will be junior center Paul Ysebaert (23 goals, 45 assists, 68 points last season) and senior left wing Iain Duncan (26-26-52). One would expect Berenson dreading a season opener with so many rookies against an experienced group. But the third year coach harbors no such fears. "It (opening against Bowling Green) doesn't bother me because they (Bowling Green) may be better two months from now," Berenson said. "The important thing is how well we play." ,r words ok tuncommonly low prices .4 --4 X4 Daily Photo by SCOTT LITUCHY Junior tailback Jamie Morris will likely return to action this weekend against Michigan State after sitting out against Wisconsin last week with an injured knee. Morris rushed for 84 yards in last season's 31-0 victory over the Spartans. Blue set to battle for state supremacy (Continued from Page 1) WOLVERINES HELP US COMPETE FOR THE TROPHY AGAINST SPARTANS will not play. But only if MSU coach George Perles can keep White out of the game. "Lorenzo showed me he can walk, and he says he can play," Perles said Wednesday, "but I don't think he can. "If he plays injured, that sends a message to the second-string guy that he's not good enough, and you don't want to do that." T H AT second-string guy is sophomore-eligible Craig Johnson. This season Johnson has gained 86 yards on 17 carries, a 5.1 yard average. Last year he rushed for 225 yards on 32 tries. From all accounts, Johnson's ability makes White's absence easier to swallow. "Craig's bitten his lip and now it's his turn," said Perles. "He's got very good speed, and he can catch, run, and block. He's a complete ballplayer with his own style. "If he can have a good game, we've got a real good chance." ALSO critical to the Spartans' chances are wideouts Mark Ingram and Andre Rison. Ingram, a 5-10, 188-pound senior flanker from J Flint, leads his club at 19.6 yards per catch while Rison is second at 19.3. Combined, the two have accounted for over 600 yards in offense and five touchdowns. "The keys (to MSU's attack) are the two wideouts," said Schembechler. "Their whole offense GRIDDE PICKS 1.

But with the nation's second- leading passer at the helm, Michigan will generate offense as well. And the additions of tailback Jamie Morris and split end Paul Jokisch, who both missed the Wisconsin game with injuries, should sharpen Michigan's attack. The unique Spartan defense, which features four down lineman, calls for some adjustments, but Schembechler knew that Monday. So how important is tomorrow's clash?
