MICK McCABE; This Is a tough one.

Michigan's size and power vs. Florida State's speed and more speed. Michigan is home, but Florida State plays well anywhere U-M does well as an underdog, but Bobby Bowden sounds just ike Highland Park High basketball coach DarreS Pursiful, and If he coaches half as wei as Darren that should be enough. Florida State 24, Michigan even wears the same No. 42 U-M's Ricky Powers Is going for his seventh straight 100-yard game.

Defensive line Coach Bobby Bowden figures to counter U-M's ability to wear down defensive fronts by using two or three players per position. ichioiQ U-M has two of the flYQ Big Ten's best tackles in Chris Hutchinson and Mike Evans, and nose guard Tony Henderson is becoming a force. By Steve Kornach Free Press Sports Writer Michigan coach Gary Moeller was 7 years old when All-America defensive tackle Alvin Wistert was leading the Wolverines to their last national championship in 1948. Wistert, 75, is a retired salesman and lives on 10 acres in Northville with his wife, Nancy. He promotes exercise equipment, tends to his garden and whips up a mean chili sauce.

And every Saturday the Wolverines play in Ann Arbor, the Wisterts are there. Wistert will be tailgating near Crisler Arena before today's game between No. 1 Florida State and No. 3 Michigan with Ed McNeill and Leo Koceski, his teammates on U-M's only national title team since the wire services began the polls in 1936. "I hope to hell they win this game and I think they will," Wistert said.

"But it does not mean a damn being No. 1 after only three games. You've got to fight off teams that will be up for you every week." The '48 Wolverines went 9-0, win- Michigan, Florida State come to grips WOLVERINES, from Page IB season. That was in the 1988 preseason, but the Serninoles lost the opener to Miami, 31-0. Coach Bobby Bowden has won 208 games and 10 bowl games but never finished higher than No.

2 (1987). So he constantly gets the question that shadowed Bo Schembechler for so many seasons: Will your career be complete without grasping the brass ring just once? "I hope it doesn't get away from me," Bowden said, "but I'm not going to cut my wrists over it. It doesn't seem that big a deal. I would like to win one, but I'm not obsessed by it." He joked about that being the standard answer for also-rans. There are always more fish in the sea, right? But you don't get a chance to haul in the big one every day.

And this could qualify as the biggest game Florida State has ever played. The Serninoles have never played in a game between two higher-ranked teams, but the Wolverines have played in three of the 25 meetings between Nos. 1 and 2. They were ranked second entering all three and lost each time most recently to Notre Dame in the 1989 opener, 24-19. Michigan has spent 27 weeks as the No.

1 team since the Associated Press poll began in 1936, but hasn't finished first since 1948. It fell from the top spot after one week last year, losing to Michigan State and Iowa before ending up No. 7. "Our basketball team brought us a championship (in 1989), and now it's time football brought us one, too," said Wolverines flanker Desmond (Magic) Howard. "We use it as a motivational factor.

But our only goal is to be in the Rose Bowl undefeated, and we have to take care of Florida State to do that." Coach Gary Moeller has tried to downplay the ramifications of the game and national championships. For instance, the team erased finishing No. 1 from its list of goals and inserted 12-0. "I don't really talk about it," Moeller said. "But 1 know the kids think about it.

I think about it. But it doesn't count until the end of the season." Whoever is No. 1 Sunday will have three-quarters of the race remaining and little chance to catch its breath. The Serninoles host No. 10 Syracuse, and the Wolverines are at No.

9 Iowa next Saturday. "But there's no doubt that this may end up being the biggest game of the season," said Serninoles tailback Amp Lee. "It may be the biggest game we ever play, period." U-M placekicker J.D. Carlson said: "We're undefeated and they're undefeated, and nobody wants to be defeated. We have an opportunity to pounce on our goals and control our destiny." Linebackers TODAY'S TOP 25 SCHEDULE Based on Associated Press rankings.

TV games are shaded. U-M's Erick Anderson and FSU's Marvin (Shade Tree) Jones likely will meet next at Al-America banquets. Anderson is quick to the ban and Jones nicknamed for the oak tree he favors champion, saying the special poll didn't supersede the foal regular-season poll. Wistert watched plenty of opportu- nities to finish No. 1 go asunder for former coach Bo Schembechler.

"Mo has more imagination than Bo ever had with that three yards and a cloud of dust," Wistert said. "1 would tease Bo all the time and tell people he would never win it because he used the same offense all the time. You can't use the same offense against Northwestern and the No. 1 team. You must revise things." Wistert was 32 in 1948 and attended U-M on the GI Bill, as was common for returning World War II veterans.

Francis Wistert (1933), Albert Wistert (1942) and Alvin all were All-America tackles for the Wolverines. They are the only trio of brothers in the College Football Hall of Fame. The No. 1 1 worn by all the Wisterts is retired. "I bet three brothers never accomplish what we did again," Wistert said.

"But we'll have another No. 1 team -someday." I Spartans take a great fall in September By Perry A. Farrell Free Press Sports Writer EAST LANSING September swoons usually mean October outbursts for Michigan State's football team. Will 1991 be any different' Even if the Spartans lose today to Rutgers, an 0-3 start will be nothing new for them. The Spartans are 3-10-1 in their last 14 September games.

That stretches over five seasons, beginning with 1987, when MSU went on to win the Rose Bowl. The Spartans started 1-2 that year and finished 9-2-1. The next season, Michigan State opened with a 17-13 loss to Rutgers at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans, 0-3 in September, were 0-4-1 before winning six straight. A 1-2 start in 1989 turned into a 84 finish; 1-1-1 last year became 8-3-1.

"Historically, Michigan State has struggled in September," said Rutgers coach Doug Graber, a Detroit native and former Allen Park Cabrini High coach. "If you're going to get them it's usually in September, because once they get it together, especially with that defensive system, they're tough to beat. "There's only one more week in September, so we hope they won't get it together for another week. Last year we played them close in the first half, then they just dominated us. This isn't the same team that beat them there three years ago.

I wasn't even here." A difficult early schedule has led to some of MSU's slow starts. Southern Cal, Florida State, Notre Dame, Miami (Fla.) and Syracuse have been among the September opponents. But this year the Spartans just haven't played well in losses to Central Michigan and Notre Dame. "I think that there are a lot of reasons for why we start off so slow," said coach George Perles. "Part of it is playing Notre Dame early.

We have got to stop making mistakes on defense. We have got to stop letting people run the ball against us. "In football you have ups and downs. Right now we have a couple of downs we don't have any ups. We're in a hole.

We dug it ourselves. But we've been in worse situations and dug out of those. I hope that we're not in the same situation next week." MSU's defense has been pushed around while the offense hasn't moved. The Spartans are giving up 495.5 yards, gaining 249.5. "We saw some encouraging things on the films," Perles said of the offense.

"We're a very young team right now, but we're going to be all right." Just maybe not in September. RlSON AND CMU: Assistant coach Muse Rison said he was on Rutgers' team bus when he heard the news. "We had just gotten clobbered by Duke and we were on our way to the airport when one of the managers told me to sit down," said Rison, a former Flint Beecher and Central Michigan tailback. "He told me Central had beaten Michigan State. I said, 'What? "I watched the game on tape, and CMU really played well.

I don't know if Michigan State took them lightly or not." Rison, in his second season at Rutgers, formerly was an assistant at Central. He said he recruited tailback Billy Smith and defensive lineman Lamar Sally, who were instrumental in the victory over the Spartans. "Nobody even recruited Billy, but I told Herb that the kid could play," Rison said, referring to coach Herb Deromedi. "I don't think Lamar even finished the season his senior year. I don't know what the problem was, but he looked Jjke a player." on the practice field is sudden Impact Kirk Carruthers and Howard Dinkins give the 'Notes two more stars.

Secondary FSU likes to blitz its defensive backs, making for big plays both ways. U-M is less spectacular but more consistent. Vk.jfi Terrell Buckley of FSU and Lance lljYlIll Dottin of U-M are quality cornerbacks. FSU freshman strong safety Derrick Brooks, USA Today's top prep defensive player of 1990, might play more if U-M keeps it on the ground. TEAM REC.

The Scarlet Knights needed a fourth-quarter stand inside their 10 last week to beat pitiful Northwestern, 22-18. Rutgers' loss was to Duke, 42-22. But the defense has allowed only 84.7 yards rushing 10th best In the country and 286.7 total. MSU has scored one touchdown In two games and was 0-for-10 in third-down attempts against Notre Dame.

OVERVIEW: While Notre Dame pubfcty worries about Purdue quarterback Eric Hunter (who passed for 354 yards against the Irish last year), Hunter worries about keeping his job. He threw three interceptions and fumbled in a 42-18 loss at California. Purdue coach Jim Colletto might be leaning toward freshman Matt Pike to operate his offense more controlled than Hunter's free-wheeling style. Colletto wants to see more of his young running backs, led by freshman Corey Rogers. The key might be to keep the bal away from Irish offense, which dominated against Michigan State Central Michigan at Toledo MATCHUP: Central Michigan (3-0-1, 0-O-1 Mid-American Conference) vs.

"They've got some hogs up there that can block out the sun," he said of Western's offensive Ine. Western coach Al Molde is wncerned that his team is hampered by injuries and has committed excessive penalties (89.8-yard average). Ohio's chief accwnpSshment tying Central Michigan, 17-17, in Its opener. This looks like even a more balanced year In the MAC," MokJe said.
