The only reason I ask is that it has been a little while since we last saw the Wolverines. A week and a half to be exact. Well, to get you back in the swing of things before Saturday's contest against Miami (Ohio), here's a quick synopsis of what has happened so far: Michigan is off to its best start since 1986. The Wolverines are ailked eighth in the country and have two impressive road wins against Illinois and Boston College. Michigan also beat Virginia in a game that RYAN marked the WHITE biggest White comeback in White on the Wolver- Target ines' history, and handled Memphis two weeks later. Michigan has also accomplished something else in its first four games, something not quite as tangible as the rest. The Wolverines have answered a lot of the preseason questions that were nagging them. So, without further adieu, here's a look at what Michigan has shown so far. Question No. 1 - Will the defense be better than last year? Survey says ... a resounding yes. Last season, the traditional v Wolverine "bend but don't break" philosophy simply broke. This year it has turned to "bend and break the opponents' quarterback in half." Last year, Michigan allowed its opponents an average of 5.2 yards per play. This year, through four games, that number is down to a mere 3.6. The Wolverines' defense has also caused 12 turnovers, many of which have set up the offense with prime field position. They have also recorded 16 sacks; they had only 29 in 12 games last season. Truth be told, it is the defense that has keyed Michigan's success at this point in the season. Question No. 2 - Will the secondary be better than it was last season? Again, the answer is yes. The Wolverines' defensive tlackfield took more heat than anyone last season because of the big plays they gave up. This season there haven't been the See WHITE, page 12 Btaelrief hs orStteFCd Spikers battle rtans, in annual intra-state matchup By Chris Munpe y stth.

By Susan Dan Daily Sports Writer Mike Presley, Adam and Ryan Carriere, Bill Lanspeary and Andy Cosenza aren't expecting warm welcome tonight whn they and the rest of the Michigan men's soccer team lake the field againsi Srioolcraft Community College. These five Wolverines are former Schoolcrat players. "I tend to get more up [or this game herasse I played there," said Carriere, a senior. "It's a big rivalsi hecause when 1 played there we beat Michigan and now I'm on the other end. Its nice to go out and beat your old school." The Wolverines take with them not only the motivation of a homecoming upset, but also an insiders' point of view on Schoolcraft's game plan. Schoolcraft plays a long-ball game, focusirg on the quick transition from defense to offense. "Basically, they are a really physical team that plays the long ball," sophomore Eric Frickel said. "They try to beat you coming off the counter-attack." The Wolverines have spent this week practicing to defend against Schoolcraft's attack. "We've been preparing for the long ball, making sure that we don't get caught offguard," Frickel said. "They will letyou come downon them as soon as theywin the ball in their defensive third. Then, they try to switch up and knock the ball through as quickly as possile." The 5-3-2 formation the Wolverines have been working on this season lends itself to defending a long-ball attack, with more defenders providing depth off the ball. "We have a strong defense," Carriere said. "With (sophomore) Matt Daily back there, (the long ball) shouldn't be a problem. We should win all of the headers." Michigan plans on closing down the Schoolcraft defense to prevent the attack from starting is the hack. "We just need to step upon their players right away to cut the passes off," Frickel said. Coming off of three weekend victories, the Wolverines are looking to continue their consistent play. "We'd like to keep the same style of play that we had against Purdue," Carriere said. "It's the best we've played all year. The 5-3-2 is really working well. We're starting to score post. We're finally adapting to (the formation)." Frickel agrees. "Scloulcraft is always an important game for us, and the rivalry this season is especially there because of the five former players." You've heard of HIV, but do you know oabout H ISV?
