Battle of No. I's

lowa and Michigan may decide Big Ten and national title

lOWA CITY, lowa (AP) - After all that has been said about the Michigan defense this year, lowa Coach Hayden Fry and Hawkeyes quarterback Chuck Long say there’s not much more they can add to the discussion. Long will lead the nation’s highest scoring offense against the country’s stingiest defense when No. 1-ranked lowa tangles with No. 2 Michigan at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. It will be the 19th time the top two teams have met since The Associated Press poll was started in 1936. Michigan has rolled to a 5-6 record and 20 Big Ten mark on the strength of a defense that has surrendered only one touchdown and 21 points. lowa, also 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the league, dazzles opponents with an offense that averages 44.2 points and 470 yards a game. “What can really be said about their defense?” Fry said. “They’ve given up one touchdown in five games against quality opposition. That’s truly incredible in modern day football. ’ ’ Added Long, “They’ve got the best

Are Browns real playoff team?

c. 1985 N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK The following games will be played this week in the National Football League: AMERICAN CONFERENCE Los Angeles Raiders (4-2) at Cleveland Browns (4-2) They have a former tackle at right guard, a former tight end at right tackle and none of the Cleveland Browns’ linemen has more than four years of experience in the National Football League. Yet look at the Browns after six weeks of play, about to face the tough Los Angeles Raiders Sunday in Cleveland: They have a 4-2 record to lead the Central Division of the American Conference; only five teams have given up fewer sacks; two of their running backs, Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner, are among the league leaders in rushing yardage; and both their offense and defense are ranked in the top 10. That last development with respect to the offense is especially surprising, in light of the fact that neither of the quarterbacks who has played this season, Gary Danielson and Bemie Kosar, was with the Browns last season, when they finished 5-11 with an offense that ranked 24th in yards gained and tied at 26th in points scored. One of the major reasons for the improvement has been a change in the offensive line, now a who’s-he unit if there ever was one, with Paul Farren at left tackle, George Lilja at left guard, Mike Babb at center, Dan Fike at right guard and Rickey Bolden at right tackle. Only Babb occupied the same position last season. “One of the main differences is that we have newer, bigger, stronger people and a better-designed attack for our personnel,” Babb said Thursday. “Last year, for example, we would run the same play, Lead 36M, on every first down. We were very predictable. I can remember hearing linebackers say, ‘Here it comes,’ and that got very disheartening.” The won-lost record suggests as much. Jets (5-1) at New England Patriots (3-3) The Patriots have beaten the Jets in two of their last three meetings but that was with Tony Eason at quarterback. Eason suffered a separated shoulder in a 14-3 victory over the Bills last Sunday. That means the Jets, currently the best team in the conference, will get a slightly different look at the Patriots, not only with Steve Grogan at quarterback but also with Craig James and Tony Collins returning to a two-back offensive approach. The overall effect should not be much of a problem for the Jets, however. Their defense stifled the Dolphins Monday night, and the Patriots have nowhere near the offense Miami has. Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) at Houston Oilers (1-5) The victory over the Giants gave the Bengals two victories in their last three games. This should make it three of four. Poor Houston. The Oilers can’t do anything right. They have lost five consecutive games,

defense in the Big Ten and probably the best defense in the country. I don’t know what else to say. They’re going to be hard to crack. They’re strong, they’re quick. I’ve been impressed with them.” A trio of coach’s sons are key figures in the Michigan defense. Linebacker Andy Moeller leads the team in tackles with 60. His father, Gary, is Michigan’s defensive coordinator and the former head coach at Illinois. Safety Doug Mallory, the son of Indiana Coach Bill Mallory, shares the team lead in interceptions with three. Another Mallory, Mike, is a starting linebacker. “I agree with everything they’re doing defensively,” said Fry, whose team is a 2‘y-point underdog. “I love their defense. I just hate to have to play against it. ” Long has passed for 1,288 and 15 touchdowns this season. The Wolverines’ defense has allowed only 220 total yards a game. Long, third nationally in passing efficiency, gets rave reviews from Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler. Michigan’s vic-

mostly because of an inconsistent offense, which makes them no match for the Bengals, who are the highest-scoring team in the conference. And if the Oilers lose, don’t be surprised to hear that Coach Hugh Campbell’s job may be in jepoardy. Indianapolis Colts (2-4) at Buffalo Bills (0-6) The Colts are inconsistent. The Bills are just plain bad. So mark this one down as a victory for the Colts. In their last two games, a 49-17 victory over the Bills in Hank Bullough’s first game as Buffalo’s coach and a 15-10 loss to Denver, the Colts have played their best defense of the season. Even if they relaxed a bit, they should be too tough for the Bills again. Seattle Seahawks (4-2) at Denver Broncos (4-2) With the Seahawks, the Broncos and the Raiders tied for the division lead, this becomes an important game, maybe more so for the Seahawks because they are 2-1 in division games. This is the Broncos’ first divisional game. Each team won last time out and has a twogame winning streak. But the Broncos may have an edge. Their defense is playing better and the game is in Denver. NATIONAL CONFERENCE Washington Redskins (3-3) at Giants (3-3) When the Redskins desperately needed a victory two Monday nights ago, they found the emotion and intensity to get it. The Giants are now in the same position, although eliminating turnovers would serve them as well. If they could, imagine the fun Phil Simms could have with the Redskin secondary as the Giants try d twogame losing streak. He has thrown for 945 yards in the last two games and leads the league with 1,745 for the season. Dallas Cowboys (5-1) at Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) With four consecutive victories, the Cowboys have their longest winning streak since 1983. It should continue. The Eagles have enjoyed a resurgence, with Ron Jaworski back at quarterback and continued fine play by their defense. But the Cowboys’ offense is top-rated in the conference and their defense leads the league with 18 interceptions and ranks among the league leaders with 25 sacks. New Orleans Saints (3-3) at Atlanta Falcons (9-6) The Falcons should win this game. They nearly beat Seattle last Sunday. Their coach has been given assurances he won’t be fired. And the Saints are playing slightly over their heads. A more tangible trend: The Falcons have improved their offensive production in each of their last three games, while the Saints have gone in the other direction. San Francisco 49ers (3-3) at Detroit Lions (3-3) The 49ers need this game badly to rebound from their poor performance against the Bears last Sunday and put them in the 'roper frame of mind for their game

tims this year include Notre Dame, South Carolina and Maryland all in the nation’s top 20 when those games were played but Schembechler said his team hasn’t faced an offense as good as lowa’s. “You know you’re not going to stop Long from moving the ball,” he said. “Long has a great arm and great touch. He throws very few bad balls.” Both teams also have played Wisconsin. Michigan won 33-6; lowa prevailed 23-13. Both teams are 2-0 in the Big Ten and 5-0 overall. Minnesota also shares first place in the Big Ten with a 2-0 record while four other teams are tied with 1-1 marks. They are Indiana, Ohio State, Purdue and Illinois. Wisconsin, Michigan State and Northwestern are lumped at 0-2. This is the first time the teams ranked 12 in the AP poll have met since No. 2 Penn State toppled top-ranked Georgia 27-23 in the 1983 Sugar Bowl. The last such game in regular season play was in 1981, when No. 1 Southern Cal beat No. 2 Oklahoma 28-24. Four other Big Ten games are scheduled Saturday with Purdue at Ohio State, Min-

nesota at Indiana, Illinois at Michigan State and Northwestern at Wisconsin. The Purdue-Ohio State game will be nationally televised by CBS and will be followed by the Michigan-lowa game which will go to about 75 percent of the nation. All-America running back Keith Byais is expected to make his 1985 debut with Ohio State. Byars has been out with a foot injury. Ohio State will try to avenge a 28-23 loss to Purdue last season but the Buckeyes will have to stop the passing of Jim Everett to succeed. Minnesota hopes to keep pace with the leaders at the expense of Indiana. The Hoosiers were undefeated until they ran into a 48-7 defeat at Ohio State. The Gophers are coming off a 21-10 triumph at Northwestern. This could be a battle between quarterbacks Rickey Foggie of Minnesota and Steve Bradley of Indiana. Illinois dropped a 30-24 decision at Purdue last week and needs a victory at Michigan State to remain in title contention.

Gan Irish stop Army ? SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Army’s undefeated Cadets, ranked 19th in the nation, invade Notre Dame Saturday seeking their ninth straight football victory. The Cadets boosted their season record to 5-0 last week with a crushing 45-14 triumph over Boston College. Notre Dame, saddled with a 1-3 record and off to its worst start since 1963, was idle last week. “A week off is great after a win,” said Notre Dame Coach Gerry Faust, “but it’s not the best thing after a loss. We worked hard and got a lot done. We worked hard on the things we have to improve upon.” Notre Dame will be trying to avoid a third straight defeat as the Irish return home for the first of four straight after suffering road losses at Purdue and Air Force. Notre Dame’s only victory this season was at home against Michigan State. Army Coach Jim Young brings with him a wishbone offense that has the Cadets ranked as the No. 1 rushing team in the nation with an average of 393.6 yards a game. Army also is ranked 10th in total offense and 16th in rushing defense. Army, second only to lowa in scoring offense with a 42.6 average, is led by quarterback Rob healy, halfback Clarence Jones and fullback Doug Black

against the Rams the following Sunday. They should get it, considering the Lions have lost three of their last four and have scored only 13 points in their last two games. Interconference Los Angeles Rams (6-0) at Kansas City (3-3) The Rams have rolled on, mostly on the strength of their defense, which has excelled at stopping the run and given up the fewest points, 89, of any team in the con ference. The Chiefs have no running game to speak of, so any Rams’ success would depend upon getting pressure on the passer and smothering Kansas City’s sometimes dangerous receivers. So far, the Rams have done well each game, and even if they slip a bit against the Chiefs, Kansas City’s defense, which has grown weaker each of the last three weeks, should be more than accommodating. St. Louis Cardinals (3-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) This is a match of the most disappointing team in each conference. Much better things were expected from each club, but the Cardinals have lost three of their last four, the Steelers four of their last five, including their last three. By virtue of the home field and an offense that is sturggling less, the Steelers should prevail. San Diego Chargers (3-3) at Minnesota Vikings (3-3) Even with Mark Herrmann at quarterback, the Chargers have a slight edge over the Vikings, who have lost their last two and their most recent game against the Chargers, last season. The Vikings have a better defense, but their offense has struggled, scoring only 27 points in two weeks The Chargers might also have an added emotional boost in the return of the tight end Kellen Winslow, who tore up his knee last season. There’s a good chance the Chargers will activate him by game time. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-6) at Miami Dolphins (42) Until they play the Jets again, three weeks from Sunday, the Dolphins cannot afford to lose. They probably won’t lose this game, even in the wake of Dan Marino’s worst performance of the season in the 23-7 loss to the Jets. But it’s curious to note that the Buccaneers scored 28 points against one of the best defenses in the league, the Bears’, and Miami's defense is hardly as good as Chicago’s. Green Bay Packers (3-3) at Chicago Bears (6-0) The Packers may be the most unpredictable team in the league, and they have won their last two. Still, a victory over the Bears, the best team in the league at the moment, is somewhat ambitious. The Bears have played consistently well each week, with a balanced offense and squelching defense. While the Packers need this game to give the appearance of a race in the NFC Central, they probably won’t get it.
