However, for Michigan high school football aficionados, the game both rekindled memories of past greatness and offered a glimpse of the future. Two of the greatest players in Michigan prep football history saw 'It's not the Michigan tradition to play a freshman much at tailback, so I'm really pleased with the rotation as it is now' - Tyrone Wheatley significant action during the afternoon. Redshirt frosh Mill Coleman played most of the game at wide receiver for the Spartans, while Wolverine rookie Tyrone Wheatley saw time late in the game. Each was a high school gridiron leg- end. Nicknamed "The Thrill," Cole- man quarterbacked Farmington Har- rison to consecutive Class B state championships as a junior and senior. In addition to being named to the all-state team for three consecutive years, Coleman holds state career records for yards (7,464) and touchdown passes (77). After being redshirted last year, Coleman is now third on the Spartan depth chart at quarterback, THE MICHIGAN DAILY GET THE FACTS GET THE DAILY GET THE FACTS 764-0552 GET THE DAILYfo GETTHE FACTS more GETTHE DAILY' Anfo GET THE FACTS GET THE DAILY NEWS eSPORTS "ARTS OPINION & PHOTO but George Perles has found other ways to utilize the young talent. "Mill Coleman's a better re- ceiver than I thought he was," Perles said. "We recruited him as a quarterback, and he's still a quarter- back with our third team. But he's a fantastic wide receiver. He's only a freshman, and he's got some kind of ability." Coleman caught six passes for 61 yards and scored his first collegiate touchdown. He demonstrated his throwing ability when Perles called a reverse pass, which Coleman com- pleted to wide receiver Courtney Hawkins for 21 yards. After Coleman graduated from Harrison, Wheatley took over the title as the state's most heralded re- cruit. Wheatley simply did it all on the football field for Dearborn Heights Robichaud. He played both offense and defense and handled all the placekicking duties while scor- ing 253 career points, the second- highest total in Michigan history. During his junior and senior years, Wheatley won seven state ti- tles in four different track and field events. His combination of both power and speed left all the college coaches drooling. He has experienced mixed re- sults at Michigan this season. He teams with Desmond Howard on kickoff returns and initially was the backup to starting tailback Ricky Powers, though Jesse Johnson won the second-string job with his out- standing performance against Iowa last week. However, Michigan coach Gary Moeller was not ready to say "wait 'till next year." "One of the things I wanted to do when we got the lead was play Wheatley," Moeller said. "I wanted to see what he can do." Wheatley rushed 12 times for 59 yards, but turned the ball over by fumbling at the goal line. Moeller allowed Wheatley to redeem him- self by calling his number with the Wolverines on the doorsten again after a David Ritter interception put the ball on the Spartan three. This time, Wheatley delivered. "It felt real good to get a second chance," Wheatley said. "I feel a lot more comfortable now. It's not the Michigan tradition to play a fresh- man much at tailback, so I'm really pleased with the rotation as it is now." Michigan quarterback Elvis Grbac attempts a pass against Michigan State. Grbac threw for 161 yards and three touchdown passes in the Wolverines' 45-28 victory. ID !1 T T m-- WARUU1 Continued from page 1 penalty gave Michigan 15 yards and the first down. Four plays later, Grbac hit tight end Dave Diebolt in the end zone for a 21-0 lead. "I think that roughing the pun- ter play put them in pretty good shape," Michigan State coach George Perles said. * Down three touchdowns, Michi- gan State decided to vary its attack and the Spartans did so with great success. Quarterback Jim Miller played by far the best game of his career, completing 30 of his 39 at- tempts for 302 yards and three touchdowns. Moeller attributed the Wolver- ines' inability to stop the Spartans' attack to the absence of a pass rush. 'he "You just can't let him sit back there that long," Moeller said in reference to Miller. "You've got to get pressure on the guy." Miller directed the State offense 80 yards at the end of the first half for the Spartans' first score. He came out firing again in State's first drive of the second half, leading the offense 77 yards to narrow the gap to 28-14, but the Spartans could get no closer. After taking a 38-14 lead early in the fourth quarter, Moeller had the luxury of using his backups, but what he saw from his defensive subs did not please him. "I wanted to play better defen- sively," Moeller said. "Second- team players have got to play some- day." The Spartans' four touchdowns doubled their previous output for the season. "It was good to put some points on the board," Perles said. "There was a lot of offense out there and a lot of excitement. I'd just rather have a dull game and the victory." Michigan tailback Tyrone Wheatley cuts by a Michigan State defender in Saturday's game. Wheatley carried the ball a season-high 12 times and ran for 59 yards with one touchdown.
