ranked offense and the nation's sec-
ond-best passer in Leaf. The
Cougars' passing game will be the
best the Wolverines have faced all
season. A hefty passing attack, atyp-
ical in the Big Ten conference, is
commonplace in the pass-oriented
Pac-10.
The game should prove to be quite
a battle between the Cougars' 344.5
passing yards per game and the
Wolverines' defense, which gives up
just 206.9 total yards per game. Leaf
has thrown for 33 touchdowns.
"We haven't seen a quarterback
like Ryan Leaf," Mayes said. "He
gets the ball to the receivers. They
spread you out. There is the greatest
potential for the big play. We're just
gonna stay together."
It can be argued that focus was one
of the primary reasons the Wolverines
were able to get to this point with an
undefeated record, despite the chal-
lenges posed by a rather hefty sched-
ule. The Wolverines started out the
season with big wins over Colorado
and Notre Dame before battling bask
from a 14-point deficit at halftime to
beat Iowa. Punter Jason Vinson said
that game proved to him that his sea-
son's squad had a legitimate shot,*
the Rose Bowl.
In order to keep the team focused
on the game, coach Lloyd Carr
announced shortly after the Ohio
State game that the Wolverines
would alter their usual bowl trip
schedule.
In the past, the Wolverines yould
practice during finals and leaveon
Christmas Day for the bowl game.
This year, the Wolverines will leay
Dec. 19, and will do almost all
their practicing in California. Carr
said that the move allows the football
team to concentrate on finals now
and then fully adjust to playing ina
foreign locale.
"It will give us a chance to get
adapted to the weather. Last year we
went to Tampa (in the Outback
Bowl), it was very hot and it took a
toll on us. This year, we'll get used t
the weather. We're not going to haW
any excuses. If they beat us, you
know, they beat us."
Washington State quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Ryan Leaf has emerged not only as a longshot to win the nation's most coveted individual honor, but also
as a possible top pick in next April's NFL Draft if he chooses to relinquish his final year of eligibility. The Junior has posted better numbers across the board than
Tennessee's Peyton Manning, the consensus All-America selection.
