THE MATCHUPS
MICHIGAN RUSHING OFFENSE VS. INDIANA RUSHING DEFENSE
Fargas gets the start after an impressive perfor-
mance against Northwestern. Michigan's depth is
too much for the Hoosiers.

Hoosiers have one option: Antwaan

counter an entire defense.

INDIANA PASSING OFFENSE VS. MICHIGAN PASSING DEFENSE
Once again, Antwaan Randle El's the main man. If the
option sucks in Michigan's secondary, look out. A
Randle El on the move is a dangerous Randle El.
Edge: Indiana
MICHIGAN PASSING OFFENSE VS. INDIANA PASSING DEFENSE
Brady's strong play should continue against an aver-
age Indiana secondary. Planet alignment suggests
that Tai Streets is due for a big game.

INTANGIBLES
Indiana has the option. Michigan will opt to kick off.
Michigan runs the ball. Indiana runs the baseline.

ter Anthony Thomas for one more week.
Thomas is still questionable, but his presence would
stack the deck even further in Michigan's favor. Not
that it matters. .t
The Hoosiers are respectable against the run, allow-
ing 134 yards each game, but that doesn't matter,
either.
With its offensive line clicking, few teams can bang
with Michigan up front. Indiana isn't one of them.

MICHIGAN PASSING OFFENSE VS.
INDIANA PASSING DEFENSE
Back in August and September, many people might
have projected this game as a potential freshman vs.
freshman matchup behind center. Tom Brady, howev-
er, was probably not one of those people. The junior
has been as steady as steady can be, guiding
Michigan's offense and improving with each game.

field conditions helped a couple of Brady's passes
wobble more than a bum outside The Blue Front, one
statistic was the most glaring of all: Zero intercep-
tions.
If nothing else, Brady took care of the ball. And his
team followed his lead. Jerame Tuman's timing on that
sneaky delayed dump over the line of scrimmage is
impeccable, and Williams flashing out of the back-
field has become one of Brady's most reliable fallback
targets. But come to think of it, we haven't heard much
from Tai Streets lately. Expect that to change this
weekend.
Although senior linebacker Jabar Robinson leads
the conference with four interceptions, the Hoosiers'
leader in the secondary is Randle El - Curtis Randle
El, that is - the older brother of the quarterback.
Curtis earns points by way of association, but that's
about it. Indiana's secondary is in trouble if Brady
controls the ball the way he has in recent weeks.
Another turnover-free performance from his quar-
terback might get even Lloyd Carr smiling. OK,
maybe not. But it would go a long way toward a
Michigan victory.
EDGE: MICHIGAN
SPECIAL TEAMS

Jay Feely hit a clutch field goal last week, which
was just this side of remarkable considering that the
turf conditions had only gotten worse since contribut-
ing to his two early misses. Jason Vinson was Carr's
designated "he-had-his-best-game-at-Michigan" play-
er of the week.
Sophomore placekicker Andy Payne could be a
good one for the Hoosiers. He's connected on eight of
nine field goals this year, and is the Big Ten's fourth-
leading scorer.
On the other hand, Indiana lists exactly zero punters
among the le gue's top 10. Of I I teams.
EDGE: MICHIGAN
INTIANGIBLES
The Wolverines have the crowd, the momentum, the
all-important running game and a shot at the Big Ten
title.
The H oosiers have Randle El, the option, the other

Nebraska offense is back to basics,
funnmg up score on opponents

By Lisa Vonnahme
Daily Nebraskan (U. Nebraska)
(U-WIRE) LINCOLN, Neb. -
Coke in hand, Josh Heskew had to
pause for a moment to catch his
breath.
It was not because he was tired after
Saturday's game against Kansas, but
bjuse he was tired from walking up
the stairs from the locker room to the
South Stadium lounge.
"Hold on," said the 290-pound
senior center. "Let me take a breather.
I was told to take the stairs, so that's
where I went.
"I just do what I'm told. I don't
make up new things. I'm not creative."
Neither was the Nebraska offensive
a k against Kansas. And that is just
th ay the Huskers like it.
Backed by the defense's first
shutout of the season, the Cornhusker
offense went back to the basics,
pounding a season-high 466 yards on
the ground en route to a 41-0 victory
over the Jayhawks before 76,174 at
Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
"We knew we were going to run it
aight in between the tackles," Heskew
said. "The guys stuck their noses

wherever they needed to be stuck into,
and they did a great job pushing peo-
ple around."
Starting for injured I-back
DeAngelo Evans, sophomore Correll
Buckhalter rushed for 133 yards on 18
carries.
Buckhalter also scored a career-high
three touchdowns, including a 32-yard
run that capped Nebraska's first drive.
The Huskers (2-1 Big 12, 6-1 overall)
kept the ball on the ground their first
12 plays from scrimmage.
"We knew we were going to come
out and run power football against
Kansas," Buckhalter said. "Running
straight at people is my type of foot-
ball, and I was very effective."
So was Nebraska's defense.
Though it surrendered 220 yards of
total offense, the Jayhawks crossed
Nebraska's 45-yard-line only once.
The result was a goal-line intercep-
tion by rover Joe Walker -his second
of the season.

The sophomore's grab preser ved
Nebraska's shutout - a shutout that
wasn't expected by coach Frank Solich
after losing to Texas A&M 28-21 one
week earlier.
"I didn't see us coming in and shut-
ting them down like we did," Solich
said. "Kansas can score very quickly,
and they have thrown the bail extreme-
ly well against everyone they've
played."
Against the Huskers, however,
Kansas quarterback Zac Wegner com-
pleted just eight of 25 passes for 121
yards.
And though the defense didn't
record a sack Saturday for the first
time in 19 games, Nebraska senior
rush end Chad Kelsay was more than
satisfied with the defensive perfor-
mance.
"To get a shutout, it makes our
defense feel really good, and now we
have something we can start building
on," said the 250-pound senior.
