14 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, August 14, 1996 DEFENSE Continued from Page 13 said. The secondary also has plenty of experience, with senior safeties Clarence Thompson and Chuck Winters leading the way. Sophomore cornerback Charles Woodson looks set to provide strong support keeping opposing receivers at bay. Thompson said the speed and cov- erage skills of Woodson will allow the secondary many options. "We can play zone on one side and let him play (man-to-man) on the other side," Thompson said. "It's a big bonus to have Charles out there." Irons said what the offense does on the field is not a worry for the defense. "If we do our job, everything else will come into place." OFFENSE Continued from Page 13 development of Damon Denson at left guard and Jon Jansen at right tackle. Denson played mostly a reserve role last year after making the move from defensive tackle at the begin- ning of last season. He split time with Zach Adami, who is expected to start in the left guard spot. Jansen has made the move to offensive line from tight end. Carr will also look closely at freshmen tackles Jeff Backus and Paul Tannous. Backus was named to USA Today's All-USA first team last sea- son at Norcross High in Georgia. And Michigan hopes everything will be in place when it opens the season Aug. 31 against Illinois in Michigan Stadium.
