Wednesday, March 21, 1990 Page 9 Moeller unveils 1990 squad by Eric Lemont Daily Football Writer For the first time in 21 years, Michigan football coach Gary Moeller surveyed the Wolverines's opening day of spring practice with no Bo. "I don't know... to say I'm a little excited - that doesn't sound right," he said. If anything, Moeller was more pragmatic than excited about kicking off the football season. The team still has holes at several positions, most notably at running back and de- fensive line. "The biggest thing is running backs right now," Moeller said. "It's the major concern of the team." Last year's team MVP Tony Boles will be out until at least Au- gust as he recovers from a knee in- jury he sustained last season against Minnesota. In his absence, Allen Jefferson, Dennis Washington, and Jon Vaughn will lead a group of runners competing for time at the halfback slot. With the graduation of All-Big Ten performers Mike Teeter and Brent White, the Wolverines will also be looking to improve their de- fensive line. "Filling the defensive line and finding an inside linebacker to replace J.J (Grant) is important defensively. Very important," Moel- ler said. Sophomores Sylvester (Buster) Stanley and Eric Graves will battle to join Mike Evans, T.J Osman and Chris Hutchinson up front. Hutchin- son has recovered from a back injury that kept him out of last year's Rose Bowl but redshirt frosh Todd Martens will be out indefinitely with appendicitis. Moeller's third concern, though lesser than the other two, is at quar- terback. "We have to make sure we've got a guy who can do it," he said. Elvis Grbac will enter the spring session as the team's No.1 quarter- back although there will be Michigan head coach Gary Moeller watches his team drill during the first day of spring practice while Derrick Alexander (left) and Tony McGee take a breather. The Wolverines, who return 17 of 24 starters from last year's Rose Bowl team, will end spring practice April 21 with the annual Spring Game. Men's golf team starts competition from Doug Musgrave. Although the second year quarterback did not play a down last year, Moeller feels the only "thing he has to do is strengthen his arm. The leadership and other intangibles, he's excellent at." Grbac or Musgrave will have yet another talented corps of Michigan receivers to throw to when the sea- son opens Sept. 15 at Notre Dame. Desmond Howard and Derrick Alexander will move updto starting roles, replacing Chris Calloway and Greg McMurtry. "We've got to get them to play with the same caliber as Calloway and McMurtry," Moeller said. "The talent is there...as for the mind, we have no idea yet." Not every position, however, is in need of repair. In some areas, only fine-tuning is required. "It's going to be a technique spring. We want to make this one of the best offensive lines we've had and best secondaries. Those are the strengths of this team and we better make sure we take advantage of that," Moeller said. season slowly in Tampa b y Andrew Brown Daily Sports Writer After a disappointing finish for the 1989 men's golf team, this year's edition has mixed emotions about the upcoming season. With the loss of last year's top two starters, Hersh Patel and Bob Papp, the squad is full of question marks. Michigan began its season this past weekend at the South Florida Invitational in Tampa, Florida. As coach Jim Can as commented, "The team started off well but continu- ously got worse." Michigan compiled a three day score of 934 with rounds of 303, 314 and 317. Their score placed them 16th in an 18 team field. "In a tournament such as this, the target score is 300 or better, with an average round being 75 per man. You can't have guys shooting 80 or higher and expect to succeed," Carras said. Carras tried to explain his team's disappointing finish. "One problem for a northern school is the lack of preparation. While the teams from the South have a chance to play ev- ery day, we can't even think about opening our golf course until April." Michigan's talent, however, runs deep, starting with fifth-year senior Chris Pond. "Chris is an excellent player," Carras said. "He is long off the tee and has an excellent iron game. He definitely has potential for All-Big Ten." Other major contributors are se- nior captain Tom Paton and first- year player James Carson, who Car- ras described as "one of the best freshman we have had in many years." In addition, the team picked up Vanderbilt transfer Patrick Moore this year who "has potential to be a strong collegiate player," Carras said. "This is a promising team," Car- ras said. "Anyone can shoot well at any give time. We can definitely give every Big Ten team a run for their money." Paton, while optimistic, is also a little unsure about the team. "This is a very young team," Pa- ton said. "We are pretty talented from top to bottom, but no one is proven. This team definitely needs improvement." "Unless we play better, we will not finish in the top five in the Big Ten", Carras said. "I hope we place in the top three." The Big Ten Championships, an event usually dominated by Big Ten rival Ohio State, are May 18-20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year. "Anyone can get hot and win it," Paton said. "If we can put it all to- gether, this team has a lot of poten- tial." - Resume Packages " Quality Thesis Copies * Course Packets - Fax Service ' Term Paper Copies - Collating/Binding - Passport Photos " Color Copies the copy center E. 21% Off FAX Service Bring this coupon into a participating Kinko's Copy Center and receive 20% off any single transmission or reception.
