Fortunately, the defensive backfield didn't lose another member, as coach Vance Bedford turned down an opportunity to join the Jacksonville Jaguars coachinve staff. Bedford is likely to split William Peterson andI James Whitley at Woodson's corner- back spot and Ray said Whitley is brim- ming with confi- dence. "He thinks he can check anybody," Ray said. Such bravado may be necessary to fill such large shoes. But the other three starters in the defensive back- field are returning. Ray was an all-Big Ten safety last year and continues to hit and pick- from all angles. His five interceptions were second only to Woodson's and he was the team's third- leading tackler.

Those two guys will be involved in the competition," If there is a glaring deficiency on the team, it has to be the kicking game. Walk-on Jason Vinson held his own as the punter, but Michigan missed three field goals and had one blocked against Notre Dame. This is an area where All-America freshman Hayden Epstein can contribute, but thus far, Carr appears content to stay with the veterans. "I would expect that (kicker) Jay Feely will be much improved," Carr said prior to the opener. "I do anticipate our kicking game being stronger, and it will have to be, because we did some things at the end of the last year that are unacceptable." The Woodson void on punt returns will be filled by sophomore Whitley, and Clarence Williams, who fumbled one against Notre Dame and Anthony Thomas, will handle kickoff duties. Poi. Eg.E Ht. t.

Be assured, though, that their spots are far from secure_- especially with the talent- ed freshman class. "Cato June and Todd Howard are the freshmen at (cornerback) and have looked good in practice," Carr said.

It think it's the confidence of the whole team overall." Marcus Ray sat at Big Ten media day in Chicago turning from one reporter to another, answering the same question time and again. Finally, after a half hour of answering questions about his former roommate, Michigan's strongest safety decided he didn't want to talk about his best friend, Charles Woodson, anymore. Instead, he wanted to concentrate on the players that play for this year's Michigan team. And so the complex continues. While the players contend that, despite his tal- ents, they are not worried about Woodson's departure, it is plainly evident that everyone must pick up the slack. "Woodson had the ability to take the best receiver in the country out of the game, which he did," Carr said.
