Fighting Irish, once again resurfacing
in the top 25, visit Morgantown for the
first time in Notre Dame's IlIl-plus
seasons of football.
Notre Dame's 45-14 trouncing of
Navy last week helped freshman quar-
terback Matt LoVecchio become more
familiar with the starting role. In his
LANG FELD
Continued from Page 8A
Langfeld's uncommon size for col-
lege hockey lends him a hefty advan-
tage - he can set up in front of the
goal without too much pestering
from smaller defensemen, and while
he doesn't possess the puck-handling
skills of a Mike Cammalleri, his
mobility and shot make him a threat
from other angles besides the
doorstep.
Which is why last season in part ic-
ular was a bit of an enigma. Though
he scored 21 goals his sophomore
year, his amount of buries dwindled
to nine the year after. Lancfld stays
forthright about it - a combination

two career starts, LoVecchio has
looked impressive, completing 24-of-
39 passes for 326 yards and four
touchdowns.
West Virginia faces a ranked oppo-
nent for the second straight week.
Coach Don Nehlen will on1ce again go
for his 200th career win after an
of factors, both in and out of his con-
trol, hindered his skills.
"Last year I was injured and I took
some shortcuts, I might not have
worked as hard," he said. "This year
I have to give it everything I've got
so that I won't have any regrets."
According to Berenson, the slump
might have been just part of a play-
er's growinlg pains.
"I think every player nteeds to
make a change each year," Berenson
said. "He's made a change and obvi-
ouslv it's a change for the better.
Tvypical ly, seniors realize they don't
hlave the captains of last year's team
to lead them. Thev need to step-up
aind lad and Langfcld has taken that
to heart."
