Coaches talk of intangibles like experience, spirit, emotion and attitude - and it was tlese intangibles that led the Michigan hockey team to a weekend sweep of Illinois-Chicago. These were the Flames first home games of the sason after a humiliating series against Ohio State the previous week. The Wolverines knew that Illinois- Chicago was looking for vindication. "They (UIC) were determined going in," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "This was their first home game after Ohio State. We had to stifle them and we played with a lot of aggressiveness." The Wolverines stifled the Flames quickly Friday night, scoring three first-period goals over a span of 46 seconds en route to a 9-4 victory. After Michigan's first-period flurry the Flames attitude was somewhat questionable. "They just stopped playing defense. They didn't show anything out there," said senior center Tim Helber. Illinois-Chicago just gave up in the second period. Michigan had scored five goals in the first and did just about anything they wanted. The Wolverines made two- line passes between defenders and other assorted offensive shows, moves that normally don't have an exceptional success rate in the CCHA. Frustration and anger were apparent in the play of the Flames as they racked up 11 penalties with cheap shots in the last two periods and started numerous fights on the ice. "They were just real frustrated about the way they were playing and their coach was probably giving them a lot of crap about it," said junior rightwinger Kent rothers, a victim of two vicious trips, one of which resulted in a multi-player fight. The Wolverines played so well that they beat the Flames physically, causing Illinois-Chicago to beat themselves mentally and taking them totally out of a game that was only 5-2 after the first period. The strange thing about those intangibles, however, is that they tend to work against you. After that first game, the Michigan squad was elated but could have become complacent. Every coach's nightmare comes after a big victory that looked easy: his team becomes complacent and doesn't give its best. This did not happen for Michigan Saturday night. In the past Michigan might have let up and allowed the Flames to earn a split, but this year's Wolverines were true to the test. The defense shined as Michigan allowed only four shots on goal in the first period and senior goalie Warren Sharples had a 27 save shutout. Defensemen Alex Roberts and Doug Evans were at the top of their game and knew what to expect from their opponents. "We really f;I.. started to play team defense. We held them down the first period and we got the game started," Roberts said.J "They (UIC) had to prove something' tonight and they{ came out flying." Berenson knew that too but said he didn't need to fire up the team with any speeches. "No, Sharples we knew we'd be in for a battle, not too many teams are going to be blown out twice at home." The Wolverines came to play in that second game, putting the team on an emotional high with its 3-0-1 start. This emotion is apparent in the locker room with every player constantly smiling. Even the stern Berenson cracked a grin as the whole bench hugged each other after defenseman Todd Copeland scored the winning goal with two-and-a-half minutes to go in the game. Sophomore leftwinger Denny Felsner speaks of the team's confidence: "We really believe in ourselves, this is the year." by Richard Eisen Daily Football Writer As the waitress brought Michigan coach Bo Schembechler his beef soup at yesterday's press luncheon, the fifth winningest college football coach of all time smiled and made that 'yummy' sound. "Mmmm. That looks good," he said hungrily. Just a few moments later, Schembechler used almost the same words to describe his rejuvinated football offense. "(Michael Taylor) has five years of experience and has been a starter for the last three. He knows what he's doing and runs the (offense) well," Schembechler said. "Our backs are pretty decent. And they're blocking better for each other. "We're getting better, we have a good attitude and we're looking forward to the last five weeks of the (Big Ten) season," he said. Gearing up for the last five Big Ten games, Schembechler would like to have some key injured personnel back in the fold so the last few games could be winning ones for the Wolverines. Fullback Jarod Bunch, who has been out since the Notre Dame game with a knee injury, is ready and eager to start practicing again. "He's excited about getting back," Schembechler said. "He's like a caged lion. I don't know how ready he'll be. He could be ready in a week." While Schembechler doesn't doubt that Bunch will be ready physically, he expects the fullback to be slightly sluggish due to his time away from the game. Schembechler felt the same way about quarterback Michael Taylor, but the fifth-year senior proved him wrong last Saturday against Iowa. Playing in his first full game since last year's contest against Indiana, Taylor threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another. "I thought he was pretty smooth. He played better than I expected for that game," Schembechler said. "I thought he'd be a little rusty." J.J. Grant, who injured his knee in the waning moments of the Michigan State game, is not only rusty but is also out for the Indiana game and the entire Wolverine picture for a while. "I'd like to have J.J. Grant back; he adds something to the defense,": Schembechler said. "He adds: something leadership wise. It's; important to get him back." Fellow linebacker Alex Marshall, who suffered a pinched nerve against Iowa, is doubtful according to Schembechler. Also doubtful against Indiana will be running back Allen: Jefferson, who did not make the trip: to Iowa City due to a sprained foot. Considering all these injuries, Schembechler seemed quite pleased,. with his team's record at this point in the season. "Look at it this way. Against,: Notre Dame, they ran two kickoffs back against us, we lost our,. quarterback, we lost our fullback and we had UCLA on the road staring at us," Schembechler said. "They should have beat us really. Then we went out there and win it and we were plodding along, trying= to get better. "We've done all that and we're still unbeaten in the conference. We're getting better, gaining confidence." Woen Worshi lr IoN TeHeE HRIST" N R"" ITI. N I: WoO.MoE.N E.X.PoLeO.
