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.
