TICKETS & TRAVEL FOR RENT SERVICES PARKING Sports The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Thursday, November 5, 2015 — 5A Michigan secondary looks to re-establish continuity By JAKE LOURIM Managing Sports Editor Other than the offensive line, perhaps no unit has had more continuity for the Michigan football team this year than the secondary. After rotating bodies in and out constantly in recent years, the Wolverines have stuck to four players for most of the year. But on the offensive line, the goal is to establish cohesiveness and operate as a unit. In the secondary, each player is different, and each brings something different to the table. There is Jarrod Wilson, a senior safety who will make his 27th career start — second on the defense to fifth-year senior linebacker Desmond Morgan — Saturday against Rutgers. Wilson has earned high praise for being the leader of the unit. As a veteran, he has the task of coordinating assignments in the back end. Against Michigan State on Oct. 17, Wilson warned junior defensive backs Channing Stribling and Dymonte Thomas that the Spartans would look for Macgarrett Kings down the left sideline on 4th-and-18 late in the game. Sure enough, they did, and Stribling and Thomas broke it up to force the turnover. Secondary coach Greg Jackson said last week that was normal for Wilson, and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh also expressed appreciation for Wilson’s efforts. “People listen to Jarrod when he talks,” Harbaugh said last week. “He’s a do-stuff-right guy all the time and really enjoyable to coach, and talented. … It’s something that the public doesn’t see, his leadership qualities, because he does it in such a steady, non-show type of way, but I can assure you, he’s one of the top leaders on the team.” Then there is junior Jourdan Lewis, the lock-down cornerback of the group. Lewis defends taller receivers well considering his 5-foot-10 height. On the season, he has 15 pass breakups and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown. “The kid’s a competitor,” said secondary coach Mike Zordich. “I enjoy coaching him, enjoy watching him play. We match him up against the best receiver every week, and he embraces it. He really does. He’s just fun to watch and fun to coach.” Lewis’ toughest test of the year came against Michigan State’s Aaron Burbridge, but he could have another battle this weekend against Rutgers’ Leonte Carroo, who is questionable for Saturday’s matchup. In just five games this season, Carroo has caught 24 passes for 527 yards and nine touchdowns. The spot opposite Lewis has been the only one with much fluctuation. Stribling started the year at cornerback, but redshirt junior Jeremy Clark, who leads the team with three interceptions, has started three of the past four games. Zordich said Wednesday that the two are competing for time along with other players. Behind them in the defensive backfield, redshirt freshman safety Jabrill Peppers garners the most attention in the secondary. While most of it has been for his offensive and special teams play lately, he spends most of his time on defense, starting all eight games there so far. Peppers ranks fifth on the team with 26 tackles and sixth with 4.5 tackles for loss. He often makes plays coming off the edge in blitz packages. Unless something changes, those four or five — with contributions from players such as Thomas and junior safety Delano Hill — will see the bulk of the time in the secondary again Saturday. They will try to regroup after giving up 26 points to the Big Ten’s worst scoring offense. “Last week, not taking anything away from Minnesota, we just laid an egg defensively,” Zordich said. “Especially in the secondary, we just played poorly.” Having two coaches in the secondary helps to shore up those issues before they escalate. Zordich and Jackson’s primary emphasis with the defensive backs is eye control. Most of opponents’ big plays have come when their receivers sneak behind the secondary. When the Wolverines watch film, they watch the wings on players’ helmets, making sure they’re focused forward toward the receiver and not toward the ball. Consistency with personnel has enabled the Wolverines to work tirelessly on that. While their unit has been dominant for most of the season, each individual brings something different to the table. “As a group, they’re great. But just as all of you here are different, everybody in our room is different,” Zordich said. “Everybody has their own personalities, which is beautiful.” ALLISON FARRAND/Daily Senior safety Jarrod Wilson will look to lead Michigan’s secondary back to its dominant ways this weekend. “As a group, they’re great. ... Everybody in our room is different.” WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Experience drives Ristovski as senior By BRANDON CARNEY Daily Sports Writer Through the first three years of her career, Madison Ristovski learned from her older teammates, but now she fills the veteran role. The guard is one of just two scholarship seniors on the Michigan women’s basketball roster. In previous seasons, Ristovski found herself adapting to roles wherever the team needed her. From appearing off the bench as the Wolverines’ sixth player in her sophomore season to being an outside shooting threat in certain situations last year, Ristovski has collected an assortment of experiences. Ristovski has been able to contribute wherever she has played, averaging five points and two assists per game through her career as well as proving herself to be a 3-point threat. But the senior’s consistency has been the strongest asset of her game, and Michigan will need it now more than ever. With a lack of proven upperclassmen, Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico has been working hard at grooming Ristovski into her new role as the Wolverines’ go-to leader. “I think being a senior and having a lot of experience, I’ve been able to talk to the younger girls about the games I’ve played in and the way we practice,” Ristovski said. “Having that experience, I can help them. With my help, the freshmen and others can become better players.” Whether showing the freshmen the ropes on the court or confidently answering questions at Big Ten Media Day in Rosemont, Ill., three weeks ago, Ristovski is proving herself as a vocal force in all areas. In the weeks preceding the Wolverines’ opening set of games, Ristovski has stressed to her young teammates the importance of staying focused. The 5-foot-10 guard has been a part of several talented rosters in the past few years but admits this year’s squad could have the highest ceiling of them all. With a lot of excitement surrounding a top-20 freshman class and a rising star, sophomore guard Katelynn Flaherty, Ristovski has managed to keep Michigan’s best intentions within Crisler Center and not let the hype get to the team. “One of the biggest things this team is focused on is that we’re not going to worry about what others are saying about us,” Ristovski said. “The only people who we care about what they think are in this gym right now. We have expectations for ourselves, and remembering that, we’re not going to get rattled by what anyone else says.” Working with the group of nine underclassmen has been challenging, but the senior is enjoying it. She doesn’t feel as much pressure on Michigan than in years past, and it’s been Ristovski’s job to remind the underclassmen not to take anything for granted. “This year, I think because we are so young, we bring a lot of energy,” Ristovski said. “But we need to also bring the understanding that we can’t take any possessions off. Everyone here is talented, but we’ll have to see when the games start if we’re mature.” While the guard brings a lot of expertise to the table, she lacks the experience of playing in several consecutive high-minute contests. Ristovski has appeared in 102 games in her career but has landed in the starting five just 19 times. Even for a veteran like herself, educating others could very well be a unique opportunity even for Ristovski. Not only can Ristovski help the Wolverines reach the high bar they’ve set for themselves, but she can also begin to instill the championship mindset that Barnes Arico desires to establish in order to sustain a rising Michigan program. MEN’S SOCCER Slow start dooms ‘M’ at Ohio State By ORION SANG For the Daily The Michigan men’s soccer team came into Wednesday night’s matchup looking to avenge last year’s season- ending loss to Ohio State. But the 15th-ranked Buckeyes scored off two Wolverine miscues in the first half, and Michigan was unable to respond, falling 3-1. The regular-season finale leaves the Wolverines (3-3- 2 Big Ten, 8-5-4 overall) without home-field advantage in the conference tournament. “It’s a difficult one,” said senior forward James Murphy. “Unfortunately, we just didn’t catch a few breaks tonight.” Michigan had a chance to earn a share of the regular-season conference title, but it was Ohio State (5-2-1, 11-5-2) that was celebrating its championship- clinching win at the end of the game. Both teams had chances to score early on, with possession fairly even between the two rivals. However, the Buckeyes started to control the ball on the Wolverines’ side of the field, and their efforts soon paid off. Ohio State was able to capitalize off a key Michigan mistake to score its first goal. Junior defender Andre Morris misplayed a ball, and Buckeye midfielder Kyle Culbertson pounced on it and launched it past sophomore goalkeeper Evan Louro. Less than 10 minutes later, another crucial mistake allowed Ohio State to extend its lead. Louro blocked a corner from Ohio State’s Liam Doyle, but the deflection bounced off the backside of Buckeye midfielder Zach Mason into the goal. “There weren’t any defensive breakdowns,” said Michigan coach Chaka Daley. “There were just mistakes. They were very fortunate. We made mistakes, and they didn’t.” Following Mason’s goal, Michigan headed into the second half down two goals despite its good start. The deficit proved to be insurmountable. However, the Wolverines began to up their play in a game that became increasingly chippy — the second half alone included five yellow cards. “I think there was a little bit of frustration,” Murphy said. “We were desperate to win the game.” In the 54th minute, Ohio State scored to extend its lead when Culbertson received a pass from forward Yaw Amankwa and slipped the ball past Louro once again for his second goal of the night. The Wolverines finally got on the scoreboard in the 84th minute when Murphy scored his second goal in two games off an assist from freshman defender Peter Brown. But it was too little, too late. With the loss, and other conference-wide results from other games Wednesday factored in, the Wolverines will enter this weekend’s Big Ten Tournament as the No. 6 seed in a road game at Maryland. “We said afterwards that we’ve got some more soccer to play,” Murphy said, “and we’re going to go into this Big Ten Tournament and continue to battle.” MICHIGAN OHIO STATE 1 3
