The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Monday, November 20, 2006 - 7A THE GAME From page IA We didn't score enough points on offense. We lost." Michigan's third straight loss to Ohio State capped off atragic week- end for the program. Saturday's game came just one dayafterlegendaryMichigancoach Bo Schembechler passed away at age 77. But just as the Wolverines refused to use his death as motiva- tion, they wouldn't accept it as an excuse in the hard-fought loss. "That's part of our lives, but cer- tainly it had ... nothing to do with what happened (Saturday)," Michi- gan coach Lloyd Carr said. "It was part of the weekend, but we lost to a better team." In what was supposed to be an epic battle between Ohio State's explosive offense and Michigan's impenetrable defense, the Buckeyes unquestionably had the edge. Forthethirdstraightseason, Ohio State signal caller Troy Smith carved up the Wolverines' defense. The Heisman frontrunner all but locked up the award by amassing 316 yards and four touchdowns on 29-for-41 passing against one of the nation's top defenses. Smith also became the first Ohio State quarterbacksince the 1930s (William H. "Tippy" Dye) to beat the Wolverines three times. Most pundits expected Smith to rack up yards against Michigan's secondary, easily the weakest part of its vaunted defense. But virtually no one foresaw the Buckeyes' run- ning backs burning the Wolverines for 187 yards. Ranked No. linthenationagainst the run all season, Michigan had allowed just one team (Minnesota) to gain more than 100 yards on the ground in its first 1 games. Ohio State amassed 108 of its rushing yards on two big plays up the middle, a 52-yard touchdown run from Chris Wells in the second quarter and a 56-yard touchdown run from Antonio Pittman in the third. On both plays, the out-of-posi- tion Wolverines missed tackles that sprungthe Buckeye tailbacks loose. "We just had mistakes," senior co-captain LaMarr Woodley said. "Just as far as the defense, too many mistakes. When you have mistakes, the other team capitalizes on them. You give up big plays and stupid penalties, (and) it allows the team to continue their drive." The costliest of Michigan's five penalties was linebacker Shawn Crable's helmet-to-helmet hit on Smith with six minutes left in the game. Down 35-31, the Wolverines looked as if they had stopped Ohio State's drive until Crable was whis- tled for roughing the passer. That penalty turned a possible fourth- and-15 into a first-and-10 at the Michigan 23-yard line. Three plays later, Smith threw his fourth touchdown pass to give Ohio State an 11-point lead with five minutes to go. But that penalty wouldn't have been as critical if Michigan had been able to slow down the Buck- eyes in the first half. From Ohio State's opening drive (which included four third-down conversions) to its final possession of the frame (a surgical 80-yard drive that gave it a 28-14 halftime lead) the Wolverines couldn't con- tain the Buckeyes' offensive attack. And it cost them dearly in the end. Michigan's 14-point halftime deficit turned out to be too much for it to overcome. "We gave up too many big plays," Carr said. "Any time you give up two long runs and a long pass, it's going to be hard to beat anybody, much less a team like we played (Saturday). Big plays simply were the biggest factor in the game." To a certain extent, that cut both ways. Michigan's offense put together its share of big plays, too. The Wolverines looked unstop- pable on their opening drive, which included a pair of 20-plus yard catches by receiver Mario Man- ningham, who finished the day with six receptions for 86 yards. Quarterback Chad Henne remained poised in the face of Ohio State's pass rush, completing 21- of-35 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns. The junior threw a handful of errant passes, most nota- bly whenhe overthrew a wide-open Manningham in the first quarter, but looked sharp in spite of the rau- cous crowd. Even so, Hart stole the show offensively. Against the Big Ten's second-stingiest run defense, the junior amassed 142 yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries in typi- cal form, spinning by defenders and dragging multiple Buckeyes to notch extra yards. "Their defense played good, but they're not as good as people thought, I guess I could say," Hart said. "We knew we were going to be able to run the ball, but we didn't put enough points on the board. There's nothing special about that defense." In an otherwise impressive day, the Wolverines' offense was marred by its inability to capitalize on Ohio State's big mistakes. The Buckeyes started to self-destruct, committing three turnovers (one interception and two lost fumbles) in the second half. But Michigan only managed to score 10 points off those turnovers - not enough when it was trying to come back against the nation's top team. The Wolverines' 39 points, their third-highest total of the season, should have been sufficient to secure them a victory, especially with their highly touted defense. Eventhoughitwasn't, Michigan's National Championship dream isn't quite out of reach. Both Southern Cal and Florida still have to play teams ranked near the top of the BCS standings. This Saturday, the Trojans take on No. 5 Notre Dame (.8198). In two weeks, the Gators will face No. 6 Arkansas (.8065) in the Southeastern Confer- ence Championship game. If the Wolverines don't make it to Glendale, Ariz., they know they only have themselves to blame. "We put ourselves in that situ- ation, and we have to sit back and wait," Woodley said. "If we would have won, we knew right away where we were going to be playing and what day. All we can do is sit back and wait now." MSA ELECTION From page IA medicine and public health. MAP won all of the LSA seats, all three of the engineering seats, the nursing seat and one of the business seats. MAP Chair Daniil Gunits- kiy said he was pleased with the results. "We did very well for a first-time party," he said. "Our candidates obviously resonated very well with the campus community." MAP has sought to distance itself from the Students 4 Michi- gan Party, which previously domi- nated the assembly. It disbanded after the hotly contested spring election, which was rife with scan- dal and dirty politicking. S4M and MAP share many mem- bers, and the new coalition appears to be a part of a series of powerful parties, though MAP leaders insist theirs is a fresh start. After MAP, the Defend Affir- mative Action Party was the next biggest winner. DAAP candidates will take all four seats, most of them in elections where they ran unopposed. There is a tie for the lone School of Public Health seat between DAAP candidate Katrina Her- bert and independent Christiana Shoushtari. Election Director Ryan Bouchard said the tie will be resolved as soon as possible. DAAP Chair Maricruz Lopez, who failed in her bid for an LSA seat, said she was pleased with her party's showing but felt they could have done better. The Student Liberty Party had a small taste of victory, winning one School of Pharmacy seat. Lisa Treumuth, who ran uncontested, will fill the seat. SLP founder Ryan Fantuzzi said he was not surprised by the results and said he blames his party's poor showing on lack of leadership. "People didn't work as hard as last year and I didn't work as hard," he said, citing a family situation that he said has occu- pied much of his free time and will likely cause him to be less involved in the party's future. "No one stepped up to fill that void. I'm hoping someone will step up right now and take over." Hungry Hungry Coeds.com Party did not win any seats. Party founder Joe Golden said he was not only disappointed with the results but also with the behavior of other parties and voter turn- out. "One, I'm disappointed in the MAP party for sending out spam to everyone," he said. "And two, the poor voter turnout and the general apathy towards MSA and the elections is indicative of the fact that MSA is conducting their business very poorly on almost all sides." Several independents also won. Ari Siegel, who was previously affiliated with SLP, won in the Business School, David Lipton won in the Dentistry School and Babak Orandi won in the Medical School. BO From page IA important things in life." Not everyone at the viewing knew Schembechler on a personal level, but Joanne Lindsay said that didn't prevent anyone from under- standing the type of person he was. "Everyone who got to talk to him walked away feeling the same way," said Lindsay, Schembechler's friend of 30 years. "He was the type of person who made you feel like you were the otily one in the world at the time when he talked to you." Despite the weather, the people in line said they never had consid- ered skipping the viewing. "I had to come and pay my final respects," said alum Chris Laroo, who had achild in each arm. "I hate to have these little guys in this type of weather, but it's the least Ican do for a man who did so much for the University." , Laroo's children may have been too young to understand Schem- bechler's legacy, but that wasn't true of all the children present. the michigan daily NOW LEASING FOR May 2007 Great Locations & Amenities y Wilson White Ca , Inc. 734.995.9200 I www.wilsonwhitecompany.com NOW LEASING BI PRIME STUDENT HOUSING NEED/ PIE 761-8000CALI CALL I w.primesh.c-m8 SIS Call today 1 see your NEW HOME!
