|N ARBOR, Mich. — This could
iall over again, or so Michi-
Coach Bo Sehembechler would
[to think.
s the fourth game of the season
s was the case in 1975, Michi-
6mes off two so-so perform
ances to face its toughest opposition
to date in an undefeated, highly
rated team.
This time it’s Texas A&M, like
Michigan and fifth in the ratings to
Michigan’s No. 3 position.
“It’s sort of like 75,” Schembech-
ler said Tuesday in describing the
Wolverines’ season, “when we were
coming off two ties to Stanford and
Baylor and then beat Missouri.”
The Wolverines started off that
season with a 23-6 win over Wiscon
sin, a game that didn’t live up to its
onference notes.

KICKERS AGAINST THE WORLD: Tony
Franklin broke out of a mini-slump with his four
fourth-quarter field goals, another NCAA record, in
Texas A&M’s Saturday victory over Texas Tech —
and the Aggie ace immediately credited a former
Texas Longhorn with his improvement. Franklin
and 1972-74 Texas kicker Bill (Sure) Schott are good
friends and Schott spent a couple of days visiting
Franklin before the Virginia Tech game, studying
films of Franklin’s technique and correcting some
minor flaws that had cropped up.

(Okla. St.); LONG: 80, Greg Hawthorne, BU (Tech)
billing. This year Michigan drubbed
Illinois, 37-9, under similar circum
stances.
In 1975 Michigan shocked a lot of
people by playing consecutive 19-19
and 14-14 ties with Stanford and
Baylor before stunning a Missouri
team that was “undefeated and
ranked pretty high at the time” with
a 31-7 score.
They weren’t ties, but Michigan
did surprise more than a few folks by
the way it stumbled through wins
over Duke, 21-9, and Navy, 14-7,
the past two weeks.
The Wolverines have con
sequently dropped from first to third
in the ratings, a fact which im
mensely pleases Sehembechler this
week but would annoy him were it to
happen at the end of the season.
“I do find it difficult to get them
motivated for Duke and Navy,” he
said, “but I will not have that prob
lem Saturday. We will play hard, I
know that.
“This is an experienced Texas
A&M offensive team. All of their
backs and key people are experi
enced. But they are most impressive
defensively. Their defense has really
come on. ”
Sehembechler termed the Michi
gan pass defense “terrible, inexcusa
ble,” against Navy but that likely
won’t be much of a problem against
A&M, which uses a Wishbone of
fense and is not that much of a threat
to come in throwing the ball all over
the field.
Texas A&M senior quarterback
David Walker has thrown three
more times than his Michigan coun
terpart, Rick Leach, (30-27) and
completed two more passes (18-16)
for a lot more yardage (261-188).
Both have thrown two touchdown
passes.
Rushing appears to be even, at
least the top runners from both
teams are.
Aggie sophomore halfback Curtis
Dickey has gained 325 yards (48
rushes) and junior fullback George
Woodard 291 yards (60 rushes) while
the Wolverines’ juniors Harlan
Huckleby and Russell Davis have
comparable statistics.
Tailback Huckleby has gained 352
yards on 65 rushes while fullback
Davis has run the hall 57 times and
gained 287 yards.
