Their big problem was to crack Michigan's defense code-a highly complex system of interrelated maneuvers which football savants describe by such terms as "angles," "loops," "converging" and "dealing in."

One attitude expressed is, "Usually I'd try to see what I can get away with, but they pull this honor business on you and you're stuck."
