Saturday, however, the joke was on Michigan. The No. 25 Wildcats (2-0 Big Ten, 4-1 overall) ended 36 years of frustration in Michigan Sta- dium, beating the No. 7 Wolverines, 19-13, in front of 104,462 stunned fans. . "(The crowd) was, awful quiet at the end, it was awful quiet," Northwestern running back Darnell Autry said after the Wildcats' first win in Ann Arbor since 1959. "Someone said in the huddle, 'I've never heard 100,000 people this quiet."' Northwestern silenced the crowd by playing disciplined, nearly mistake-free football, and by taking advantage of the opportunities the Wolver- ines gave the Wildcats. "I think, more than anything else, we hurt our- selves in terms of turnovers and field position," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. The Wolverines gave the ball up four times, three of which set Northwestern up in Michigan territory and led to 13 points for the Wildcats. The fourth turnover was an interception on fourth-and- 15 that ended Michigan's final drive. Michigan also missed chances earlier in the game when a Tshimanga Biakabutuka touchdown was called back due to a holding penalty and Remy Hamilton missed a field goal. Left: Michigan quarterback Brian Griese completed just 14 of his 34 passes in the Wolverines' 19-13 loss to Northwestern Saturday. Right: Michigan's Tshimanga Blakabatuka rushed for 205 yards Saturday. "All of those types of things make it difficult when you let (Northwestern) stay in the game," Carr said. The type of game Northwestern played, waiting around for its opponent to make a mistake, is typical of what it did earlier this season in a win at Notre Dame. "That's what we've been able to do so far, not turn the ball over and get some turnovers," Wildcats' coach Gary Barnett said. "It's just a great win, it's big for the university, it's big for the program and it's a heck of a way to get to 4-I." Aside from turnovers, Michigan was hurt by its lack of a passing game. Last week, in his first career start, Brian Griese completed more than 58 percent of his passes and threw for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Against Northwestern, Griese connected on only 41.2 percent of his throws for a mere 92 yards. His longest completion of the day was for 13 yardsThe first of Griese's two interceptions helped set up the Wildcats' first touchdown. "You have to give them credit," Griese said. "They came with some blitzes and pressures that caused turnovers. "It wasn't really anything I couldn't read. We just didn't get the job done."

Ask yourself that question, Michigan. hink about it real hard. Are you going to react to this loss to orthwestern with fortitude, or are you ping to fall apart like last year's team hen it lost to Colorado? Are you going to get angry or are you oing to feel sorry for yourselves? Are you going to recommit yourself to a ose Bowl run or will a second-tier bowl do for you again? Understand, this is not a question of talent. You've already shown in your five wins this season that you have plenty of that. And Northwest- ern has also proved that the team with the most talent doesn't always win the foot- ball game. This is not a ques- tion of motivation, ei- ther. It's easy to s badly, that you want to put the disasters of the last two seasons behind you. No, this is a question of spirit. A ques- tion of whether you have it within your- selves to pull together and win football games. Are you winners or are you losers? The 1994 team sadly answered that ques- tion loud and clear after its stunning defeat to Colorado - it chose losers. Before the Buffalo defeat in game three, the Wolverines had talked about a national zkfrbo) fit championship. But after Kordell Stewart's pass fell into the hands of Michael Westbrook, Michigan lost three of its next eight games and played in a mostly mean- ingless bowl game. The demise had nothing to do with tal- ent. The Wolverines were dominated by Wisconsin, a team which suffered through a dreary 7-4-1 season. They were sloppy and directionless in a loss to their biggest rival, Ohio State.

"I thought it was a better game than By Nicholas J. Cotsonika Daily Sports Writer T hese guys need a nickname - something funny, witty or even silly. It could be anything really, just as long as it sticks. Basketball's Fab Five had one, so why not Michigan hockey's five junior forwards? Their coach calls them the nucleus of the team's offense. They've combined for 372 points in two years. And they're all Canadian. How about the Canada Five or the Maple Leaf Connection? The Accented Attack perhaps (every conversation is sprinkled with "oowts," "aboowts" and "ehs")? Better yet, they could be the Five Canucks u and a Puck. "I don't know ... it's pretty hard to give us a nickname," Jason Botterill says. "We're pretty different guys." Maybe, but they're the same in one important way - all are expected be leaders of the Wolverines' scoring corps.I This is a crucial year for Botterill, Kevin Hilton - returning up front, they will have the freedom to make things happen. They are primed to have a steller season, but it will be hard to top last year. Among returning players, the five provided more than half of the offense. They recorded 59 percent of the goals, 52 percent of the assists and 54 ercent of the points. "They are very important guys for us," Berenson says. "They were one of our best classes ever when they came in, and they've shown why. But they have to.contribute and improve on last year if we're going to be successful ... and they will have a chance to do that." But they need a nickname. Something. Anything. It has to be indicative of their personalities, but who should have the marquee? The five might become Greaser 's Creatures. Brendan Morrison, though not very vocal, sets the example for _.~ c.them. Morrison's teammates call him Greaser because everything just slides his way. At times, it seems -his legs propel him 10 mph faster than any other center,and his stick can be mistaken for a magic "(Morrison) is so good, everything just comes to him," Luhning says. "If he has a bad game, he can still walk out and get a goal and a couple assists." The Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, native made the most impact of the five last season.
