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 Bo McMillin Clyde Smith Bernie Crimmins Bob Hicks Phil Dickens John Pont Lee Corso Sam Wyche 6348-11 8-27-1 13-32 1-8 2041-2 31-51-1 41-68.2 3-8 Avg Lg TD 0.0 0 0 Candid Cam Former Michigan assistant Cam Cameron is finding life at Indiana tougher that life in Ann Arbor.

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. HOOSI ERS Continued from Page 1B 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.

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. - Stephanie O/efn was gd/at hat /he verines took a large lead earlil so that the A ichi an funs could ge/ tth reverse-double wave gointi at the bg(inning of the second half She cat he reached at .so1n(uich.edit.
