*HAWKEYES
Continued from page 1
Sophomore running back Sedrick
Shaw leads a balanced corps of running
backs with 404 net yards rushing in four
games. Behind him, Iowa has four of-
fensive backs in triple digits in rushing.
Michigan has just one back with
over 100 total yards - Tshimanga
*Biakabutuka with 315. Ed Davis is
second with 61.
The running back matchup is likely
to change Saturday. After a 50-yard
performance against Colorado in his
first game back from a shoulder injury,
Tyrone Wheatley is expected to break
out.
"He was my first pick for first-team
All-American (last year) and for the
Heisman Trophy," Fry said. "I'm real
happy that he's healthy, but if Gary
wants to be my friend, (he should)just
leave Tyrone at home this week."
Wheatley is especially scary to a
team like Iowa, which has allowed its
opponents an average of 207 rushing
yards per game.
"We haven't been doing a really
good job of tackling, as much as any-
*thing," Fry said. "On the other hand, in
defense of the defense, we've been
giving the ball up on our end of the
field, where the other team didn't have
far to go to score a touchdown."
In fact, when asked his team's
strengths, Fry replied, "We haven't
located 'em yet. We're still searching."
There are some -namely the
ground game - and the Hawkeyes
also feature a future solid quarterback
*n sophomore Ryan Driscoll.
Driscoll has 742 passing yards, com-
paredto U-M signal callerTodd Collins'

740, but Collins hasplayed in one less
game. He also had to reckon with teams
like Notre Dame and Colorado.
"(Driscoll) gets a B+ right now, as
far as a first-year quarterback," Fry
said.
Moeller has been pleased with
Collins' poise under pressure, but is
concerned about the ability of the of-
fense as a whole to convert on scoring
chances.
"We've got to hold on to the foot-
ball longer," Moeller said.
Achieving that goal will take pres-
sure off the defense, which has been a
concern as of late for Michigan. The
Wolverines are 11th in the Big Ten in
'We've got to hold onto
the football longer.'

total defense, due mostly to the 500-
plus yards racked up by Boston Col-
lege and Colorado.
As the Big Ten season progresses,
that statistic is likely to change. After
all, linebacker Jarrett Irons' 16-tackle
effort against Colorado did earn him
Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week
honors. And Michigan did beat two
nationally-ranked teams without the
help of outside linebackerMatt Dyson.
With the Colorado game behind
him, Moeller will turn his attentions to
his ultimate goal: Winning theconfer-
ence.
Will Iowa stand in the way?That's
where Fry's confidence will be tested.
Said the coach of his Hawkeyes: "We're
certainlyjusta mediocre football team
this year."
