RUNNING Wos CONTINuE: For the
third straight game, Michigan's ground
game has been inetfective. After rushing
for 132 yards in the season opener
against Notre Dame, running back
Anthony Thomas was held to just 46
yards on 22 carries - n average of 2.1
yards per carry.
This area continues to be a concern
for Carr, especially as the weather wors-
ens and passing the ball becomes more
difficult.
"You're going to come to a point
where you have to run the ball," Carr
said.

Forty-five of Michigan's 94 total yards
on the ground came courtesy of wide
receiver David Terrell, who scoredt
Michigan's second touchdown on a
spectacular double-reverse that caught
the Wisconsin defense off guard.
With 1:19 remaining in the first quar-
ter, Brady pitched the ball to Anthony
Thomas, who began running around the
right side with fullback Aaron Shea as a
lead blocker. Thomas then handed the
ball to a streaking Marcus Knight. who
was sprinting in the opposite direction,
making the play appear to be a reverse.
Just as the Wisconsin defense began
pursuing Knight, he handed the ball to
Terrell, who had come around from his
split end position and was running right.
Using the downfield blocking of Shea
and Thomas, who had continued in the
direction in which they started, Terrell
danced untouched into the end zone,
giving Michigan the early 14-0 lead.
"Thomas and Shea gave me two key
blocks downfield, and that really sprung
it open," Terrell said. "Coach Carr
could've walked in the end zone on that
one."
It was another standout game for
Terrell, who caught seven passes for 88
yards in addition to his run on the
reverse. But Terrell, never one to con-
ceal his emotions, was flagged for an
excessive celebration penalty after a
tremendous 40-yard grab over
Wisconsin cornerback Jamar Fletcher
in the third quarter.
The penalty moved the ball from the
Wisconsin 23 - where Terrell made
the catch - to the Wisconsin 38, plac-
ing Michigan out of field goal range.
The Wolverines would not score on the
drive, and Carr was not pleased with his
upstart receiver.
"David is an emotional guy, but when
it hurts our team. I'm mad about it,"
Carr said. "He cost us a good chance at
three points:'
Terrell and the rest of Michigan's
steady receiving corps were key ele-
ments in the win. Carr, refusing to wait
for the running game to get on track,
opeined tie contest with an uncharacter-
istic eimphasis on the pass.
pinned at their own 10-yard lin after
stuffing Wisconsin on its opening pos-
session, the Wolverines went to the air
early and often on their first scoring
drive. Brady converted four straighti
third-down possessions as he marched
the team downfield and also displayed
some elusiveness, twice evading the
rush and throwing completions on the
run.
The second of those hurried attempts
came on a third-and-three at the
Wisconsin eight-yard line. Brady stayed
in the pocket until it collapsed, then took
a few steps and lofted a pass to Shea,
who had shed his defender in the left
corner of the end zone, giving Michigan
the 7-0 lead and early momentum.
Brady sat out the second quarter
while Carr continued to alternate himi
and Drew Henson during first-half
quarterbacking duties. But Brady's effi-
cient first quarter - 9-of-13 for 79
yards -- earned him the job for the sec-
ond half.
Then, just minutes after his touch-
down pass to Johnson, Brady would get
a scare. With II minutes left in the
fourth quarter, Brady was leveled by
Wisconsin linebacker Chris Ghidorzi as
he released the ball.
Ghidorzi drove Brady into the artifi-
cial turf, where he lay prone for a few
seconds. He then attempted to sit up,
only to stop and have his head crash
back onto the turf. Be lay on the field
for a while before coming out of the
game, not seriously injured but his bell
rung Nonetheless. After the gamle,
Brady said his jaw still hurt.
"He's shaken up, but Brady's as tough
as they come," Carr said. "He'll be
okay."
