Martinez went 18-6 with a 1.74 ERA - nearly two runs better than qins' second-best AL mark of Michigan prepares for Ohio crowd RIVALRY Continued from Page 11 offensive lineman Jeff Backus said. Senior Steve Hutchinson added his >. memory of the loss in Columbus, "One thing that sticks out in my mind is how we sent the seniors out. We wanted to send them out right. But I remember walking off the field and thinking that Jon Janson is leav- ing with his last game being a loss at Ohio State and that is something I don't want to do." But believe it or not the crowd noise may be even louder in the Horseshoe this year. The renovation to the stadiumn moved the fans closer to the field. And that is hard for most of the Wolverines to believe. "From what I remember two years ago it may be the loudest place we've played," quarterback Drew Henson said. "I basically have to scream as loud as I can." Center David Brandt agreed that the calls will be hard to make and be D heard, and knowing the plays in the j huddle will be that much more important. The team will also practice this week with loud music playing to simulate the crowd noise. BULLETIN BOARD MATERIAL: Much like the week before the Michigan State game, a tight leash is being kept on all the players to make sure no incriminating material is leaked. "No one wants to be the one on the bulletin board," senior defensive end Eric Wilson said. "There is no need to call someone out, it's the people on the field that really matter." Yesterday, Carr remember a bul- letin board moment that won't soon be forgotten. "The worse thing that can happen is have some player guarantee victo- ry," Carr said. "I will never forget the meeting after Jim Harbaugh guaran- teed victory over Ohio State. Everyone was nervous about going into that meeting because he had guaranteed victory. Bo said Harbaugh shot his mouth off so now its up to you to back him up."' The record: Thomas will head to Columbus 165 yards away from equaling Jamie Morris' career rush- ingt record at Michigan of 4,393 yards. Iven though Thomas averages almost 150 yards a game, the Ohio State defense will be tougher than the previous competition. Last time the Wolverines visited Ohio State they only had four rushing yards. 'Ohio State is No. I in the Big Ten against the rush," Carr said. "Except for points scored I think that is the most important statistic a team can have." Although Thomas claims not to care about records, he has been grateful to his offensive line for his statistics so far this season. Thomas even went as far as to buy the line pizzas after a 200-yard game. And for that line, this record may even be more important. "It means the world to us," Backus said. "It shows people that we are doing our job. QUESTIONAB.LE?: Ohio State tail- back Derek Combs, and receivers Reggie Germany and Ken-Yon Rambo are currently listed as ques- tionable for Saturday's game. The three are top specialists on the Buckeyes' offense. But the Wolverines don't believe that for a second. "That's bologna," Carr said. "They will all play. Mark that down." Due to the intensity of this rivalry, the Michigan players know not to count any of those players out. "When it comes down to some- thing like this, if you aren't on your deathbed you will be playing in that game,' Wilson said. Although Miami beat Florida State way back on Oct. 7, it wasn't until today that the Hurricanes finally overtook Florida State in the Orange Bowl race. Don't be sur- prised if fortunes are reversed next week, if the Seminoles beat Florida in Tallahassee.

Fall 2001. woo.,-, COOPER Continued from Page 13 Cooper nitpicked a little at Michigan's defense, which has strug- gled on the road, allowing 35 points a game. "Defensively, its not a dominant defensive football team," Cooper said. "It's not the best defense they've had since I've been here but Jim Herrmann does a great job." Cooper didn't tread too much into dissecting the Wolverines, returning to the traditional "praise the oppo- nent" mode. "They're the best team we play every year and that's certainly the case this year," Cooper said. for Junior Nursing Students Here is your opportunity to work at Mayo Clinic for the summer.
