4 Page 10 -The Michigan Daily -Thursday, November 20, 1986 Bouncingi back: Ohio State's tailback Workman recovers from early fumble-itis jr -In By KEN HALLOY The Ohio State Lantern Special to the Daily COLUMBUS - Just as the Ohio Buckeyes have rebounded from a slow start, so has tailback Vince Workman. Coach Earle Bruce pulled Workman out of the starting lineup for the Utah game and replaced him with freshman Jim Bryant. The reason for the change was Workman's fumble-itis. Since then Workman has com - piled some impressive numbers. He has regained his starting job and leads the Buckeyes in rushing with 859 yards including a career high 172 yards against Wisconsin last Saturday. He has also scored four of his six rushing touchdowns in the last two games. WORKMAN'S most impressive statistic, however, is that he has not lost a fumble since the first quarter of the Indiana game six weeks ago. Bruce is pleased with the comeback of the 5-11, 187-pound sophomore from Dublin, Oh. "Vince has done'a great job of running the football, especially hanging on to the football," Bruce said. "He has worked extremely hard in practice and there is little doubt that the competition between he and Bryant has made him a better player." Workman did not let his new backup role get the best of him for even one game. But he does not deny that he was feeling down about not starting. "I was pretty depressed with the way I had played," Workman said. "It's not that I lost confidence in myself. I just couldn't figure out why I was fumbling so much. It seemed like the more I concentrated on not fumbling the more I did." THE DEMOTION to backup tailback was incentive enough to make Workman work harder. "I decided to get my act together and get going," he said. "Coach For 17 years The Stereo Shoppe has offered top quality audio components at our stores in East Lansing, Traverse City, Saginaw, Lansing AND NOW IN ANN ARBOR! Bruce kept faith in me and now I feel like I've got it going again. I don't even worry about fumbling anymore." Workman agreed with Bruce that the competition with Bryant has benefitted both tailbacks. "I'm happy for Jim that he has done so well," he said. "We're good friends and we cheer for each other when the other is in there but we both want to be starting. The competition makes us work harder, but we're both only concerned about one thing, the team winning." WORKMAN said Ohio State's comeback was simply a matter of following the team philosophy of taking it one game at a time, but admitted that sometimes it was not easy to do. "Sure it's a little hard to get up for Northwestern but if you don't, you can get knocked off," said Workman. "You can't beat Northwestern, 70-0, anymore. All the teams in the Big Ten have gotten better. If we had started looking ahead we might not have been in the position to win the Big Ten." Workman will be starting again this week against Michigan. He said it is hard to describe the feeling of running out the locker room into Ohio Stadium. "It's incredible," Workman said. "The crowd is so loud that you can feel the stadium shake. It really 1 Workman ... bucked early problems I STEEO A> r pumps you up. There's really -no feeling like it." Workman believes the crowd will have an effect on Saturday's game. "We know they will be behind us 100 percent," he said. Workman said his second Michigan game has more meaning because "last year the game wasn't for the roses," he said. "Iowa had the Big Ten already wrapped up, but this one's for the Roses, and that's what Ohio State-Michigan games should be all about." Thoughts of New Year's Day in Pasadena have crossed Workman's mind before. "I dreamed about playing in the Rose Bowl when I was a kid and now we're only one step away." I 'I LE.

Sigma Alpha Mu vs. Phi Delta Theta The Sammies downed AD Phi, 16-8, to make their reservation in Schembechler's Shed for Sunday afternoon. AD Phi took an early lead, but just couldn't hold it as Sammies' Hampton Dellinger broke through AD Phi's defense to score a touchdown. "We always make the key plays in the moment of need," said coach Andy Snyder. Playing at full force with no injuries, the Sammies expect a tough game against the Phi Delts. "They're a really good team," said Snyder. "It's a good matchup. The outcome should be interesting." Rivalry is a big game factor for the Phi Delts. "They'd love to beat us, and we'd hate to lose to them," said team captain Pete Tarpey. T H E Phi Delts are out to redeem themselves since they lost to the Sammies in the playoffs last year. "We'll beat them easily this year," quipped Phi Delt QB Tommy Boylen. The Phi Delts' secret weapon is their dynamic duo: Ross Hoefler, wide receiver, and quarterback Boylen. In their recent game against Chi Phi, Boylen hurled a 50-yard bomb to Hoefler for a touchdown. "The (Phi Delts) will win, no doubt about it," states Chi Phi's Mitch Pattullo. "Their quarterback was the difference. He has incredible mobility and an incredibly strong arm. Our rush couldn't get to him." Sigma Delta Tau vs. POFD IH Bo's Building will see plenty of women when Sigma Delta Tau and POFD II seek to work out their aggressions on the artificial turf. SDT advanced to the finals after scratching out the Zetas, 20-0. SDT expressed shear ectasy when Cindy Sunday's residence hall battle is between the Quads: South Quad's Kelsey and West Quad's Adam Ants. The Ants come out armed with confidence and experience. "We're pretty sure we'll win, especially after the Bush (House) blowout, 38- 14," boasts team captain and Adam's House RA Bruce Young. Brian Burnstein threw six touchdown passes in the Bush slaughter, and four were caught by Adam's number one receiver, Larry Wagner. Young adds, "Kelsey is supposedly number one in the overall (IM) standings, but we saw the end of their last game and they don't look like anything special to us. Is Kelsey antsy? "Well, we're definitely the underdog," said team member Jahad Antakli. "(The Ants) think they've already won the game. They're very confident." GRIDDE PICKS North Korean president Kim I1 Sung apparently rose from the dead yesterday, declaring that he must play Griddes once again before going to the great communist cloud in the sky. Sung walked in to the shock of one Daily sports editor. "It was Sung," stammered one sports editor to the other. "That's funny," said the other. "Most people put their picks on paper."
