"It's very difficult," Alvarez said. "I just have so much energy pent up because I can't walk around. I haven't spent my emotions." Carr sympathized with Alvarez and his players. "Those kids are used to seeing Barry. down there," Carr said. "Because they're accustomed to that, it might be tough (not to have him down there)." 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. BADGERS Cotntned from Pae 1B 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."
