The look of the losing coach
coming out of the lockerroom after
the game is sobering. Hair mussed,
drained of energy, seemingly in
immediate need of intravenous flu-
ids, the losing coach is quite simply
a beaten man.
Barry Alvarez played that part
after Wisconsin lost a late lead to
Michigan on Sept. 30. That defeat
dropped the Badgers to 0-2 in the
conference, unthinkable for what
had been a preseason top-10 team.
Alvarez was the picture of a man
who had failed to live up to expec-
tations of his team. The picture
painted by Indiana coach Cam
Cameron on Saturday after the 58-
point defeat was in stark contrast --
a man who has failed to establish
program expectations in his four
years on the job.
"There's only one guy that's total-
ly accountable for that kind of per-
formance - and that's the guy
you're looking at," Cameron said
quietly.
Cameron knew there would be
bumps and bruises along the way
when he assumed control of the pro-
gram before the 1997 season.
Indiana is the losingest football
program in Big Ten history. No
coach has departed Bloomington
with a winning record since Bo
McMillin in '47.
"There are places that are tougher
to win at than Indiana," Cameron
said. "Nowhere in my contract did it
say this was going to be easy."
The weight of expectations stem
from the success of his Big Ten
brethren. At the same time Indiana
introduced Cameron, Purdue
brought in Joe Tiller, Minnesota
made the move to Glen Mason and
Illinois did the same with Ron
Turner.
They were the class of '97. And
given how their programs had per-
formed prior to their arrival, no one
was taking any bets on who was
Most Likely To Succeed.
Bit by bit, three of those coaches
have raised the standards within
their program. Tiller's five-wide
offense has flourished in West
Lafayette; Minnesota won eight
games last season and appeared in a
bowl, as did Illinois.
More evidence: Purdue and
Minnesota are currently tied for the
Big Ten lead, achieving that posi-
tion after crucial road victories this
weekend.
Cameron's program, meanwhile,
has been stagnant. His 12-27 record
at Indiana includes 4-7 seasons in
each of the past two years.
lie appears to be headed for
another subpar year. Indiana has
just two victories this season, and
picking up another two will be a
stretch, given that Cameron himself
said that the Hoosiers "can't beat

anybody playing like" they did
against Michigan.
In each season, Indiana has fallen
victim to a catastrophic defeat. Last
season's was a 59-0 loss at
Wisconsin.
But even that game wasn't as self-
destructive as Saturday's, where the
Hoosiers gave away possessions on
fumbles, interceptions, blocked
punts and downs.
Cameron is bearing the losing-
coach look more often than a for-
mer Michigan assistant is accus-
tomed to.
More and more, his program
befuddles him. Progress is harder to
chart, faith harder to keep.
"This is my fourth year here and it
seems like (losing) is getting routine,"
defensive end Kemp Rasmussen said.
That's exactly what Cameron
should be afraid of.

Tack on two more for prosperity,
and the Wolverines led 38-0 with
2:19 to go in the half.
"There was good intensity right
from the beginning," Michigan coach
Lloyd Carr said. "We still have to
prove a lot of things."
And perhaps there was no conclu-
sive proof, but there was certainly
evidence of something different with
the Wolverines in those last two min-
utes of the half.
Having already amassed the most
points in a quarter this season, the
Wolverines of an earlier era (possibly
last week) might have chosen to burn
the clock down to halftime.
Saturday, things were different.
After receiving a punt at the
Indiana 43-Yard line, Drew Henson
took the field, rolled out, and gave
the bomb to David Terrell. One play.
Seven points. Eight seconds.
"We finished the game today,"
Carr said. "We've got to prove that
we're a consistent football team."
The Wolverines were able to con-
tain Randle ELI in the second half's
opening drive, forcing the Hoosiers
to go three and out. Michigan picked
up the ball and composed a 64-yard
touchdown drive that put the
Wolvernes up 52-0.
"Randle El is a guy nobody is
going to stop, " Carr said. "What we
wanted to do was force him to.
throw.,
But once Michigan had reached
the 50s, it really didn't matter. John
Navarre took control of the offense,
and mental dejection on the Indiana
sideline seemed to be working as a
second defense.
"When things go badly, you find
out a lot about the people around
you," Carr said, seemingly referring
to last week's collapse at Purdue.
"And you find out a lot about your-
self.
Should the Boilermakers suffer
just one more Big Ten loss, Michigan
will once again be controlling its
own fate in the Rose Bowl race.
A late lunge: Thomas sees his destination and dives forward at the goal line,
capping his touchdown run.

Junior Larry Foote and the Michigan defense rebounded after last week's debacle
to record their first shutout of the year. Antwaan Randle El was able to move the
ball against the Wolverines, but untimely blunders kept Indiana off the scoreboard.

Continued from Page 1B
Carr finally got some guts. And
it's about time. No score in the first
half of Saturday's game could have
been high enough. With just 12 sec-
onds left in the second half, the
Wolverines chose to run the ball
instead of just running out the
clock.
Some may call that unnecessary
-just take the knee and go into the
lockerroom. But the Wolverines
needed to capitalize on all the
opportunities they could,
111ev hlave learned that over tihe
past four games.
It may take a little extra beating
or minutes in practice to learn how
to pad a lead, but whatever it takes
it is worth it.
It's worth going through "hell" to
finally have win (or lose) a game
that didn't come down to the last
second of play.
