offense.

win streak and having scored at least
35 points in every game this season,
the Hokies are for real.

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."

unisuccessful attempt last week illy: a
48-20 loss at tihe hands of Virgiiiia
Tech.
Interestingly, tile Irish have not won
a road game since 1998, when .they
defeated Navy 30-0. Look for* th~e
trend to stop this week. e
