Gini, Barb Maggie Boscoe Overcomes Injuries To Lead BYU Past Michigan In Holiday Bowl SAN DIEGO (UPI) Brigham Young quarterback Robbie Bosco has proven to the Cougars' detractors that his team has the heart to be the nation's top ranked team but not necessarily the finesse. Bosco shook off a battered knee, severly sprained ankle and a bruised rib cage Friday night to lead his team to a 24-17 come-from-behind victory over the Michigan Wolverines in the seventh annual Holiday Bowl. The victory ran the Cougars' record to 13-0 and winning streak to 24 straight games. But the sloppiness of BYU's turnover-packed victory could possibly dbe be the downfall of BYU's quest for its first national football championship. Michigan 2-10 in bowls games during the Bo Schembechler era fell to 6-6 on the year.

Two more post-season losses will give the Michigan coach the dubious honor of tying Paul "Bear" Bryant for having the most bowl losses in a career. "They (BYU's critics) told us we had to beat Michigan to be No. 1," Bosco said. "Well, look at the Scoreboard." The BYU quarterback was injured in the first quarter when he was hit by defensive tackle Mike Hammerstein after he had released the ball. Bosco laid the field, taking the breath away from every Cougar fan in the crowd of over 61,000.

He was helped into the lockerroom and reserve quarterback Blaine Fowler was pressed into service. Fowler had entered the 1984 season as a possible starter before Bosco secured the job. Fowler came in and hit 5 of 7 pass attempts for 28 yards to keep the Cougars' momentum from slipping away. "I was watching the defense and didn't see Robbie get hit," Fowler said. "I didn't have time to think about anything as I was running into the game." Bosco came back in the second quarter and immediately led his team on a scoring drive.

After throwing his first pass incomplete, he connected on his next four to help drive his team to the Michigan 5. From there, Kelly Smith's 5-yard scoring run on a quick trap play gave BYU a 7-0 lead. Michigan came back two possessions later after Bosco fumbled the ball on the Wolverine l. Michigan drove the ball 80 yards on 11 plays to knot the contest 7-7. The drive was capped by a 5-yard scoring run by Richard Rogers.

With just over a minute left in the half, Bosco came back in and completed 4 of 7 attempts for 59 yards to get the Cougars in field goal range. Lee Johnson hit a 31-yarder to make it 10-7 BYU at the half. The Wolverine defense coi- tinued to shine in the second frdf- In all, Michigan forced six 3YU turnovers and blocked a 5C-yard field goal attempt. The turnover total three fumbles aid three interceptions was a season high for the Cougars. Bosco said his injuries which had him practically dragging his left leg in the second half forced BYU to change its offense.

"It (the ankle injury) took quite a bit from our offense," he said. "We wanted to run more roll outs and naked Michigan forged ahead 14-10 late in the third quarter on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Chris Zurbrugg to Bob Per ryman. The play capped a 47-yard drive that began afte" a blocked field goal attempt. However, the Wolverines were not cashing in on their scoring opportunities. "We had too ipany op- portunities," said Schem- bechler.

"But Aen we would get a penalty. tee" like that all season." Michigan increased its lead to 17-10 a Bergeron field goal vith just a minute gone in the fourth quarter. prom then on though, it was all Bosco directed his team from its own 20 to the Michigan 7. From there, he scrambled and fired a pass that wide receiver Glem Kozlowski caught for the touchdown while outleaping two Michigan defenders. "It was a broken play," said Kozlowski.

"I just outjumped the defenders in the endzone. jC 10 11 12 13 14 IS 16 17 10 19 20 21 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Quality Jewelry Still A Great Selection flewell We Wish You MERR CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR We will continue to care for your medical and surgical eye needs (except for cataract surgery).
