FOOTBALL Time to get tested • Receivers hope to overcome inexperience against Maryland
By KATIE McVOY Associate Sports Editor
The talk about the new pro-style offense has been endless. Ever since Tyrone Willingham was hired in January, the discussions about how effective an Irish passing game will be, who will be taking the snaps and which receivers will be handling the ball have raged. But on Saturday, it's go time. At the beginning of spring practice, receivers coach Trent Miles focused on introducing his receivers to the new sys tem. The idea was to get them used to the new offense and make them feel comfortable with their new role on the Irish team. Now, the goal is much simpler. "Win," Miles said. " ... Win every play, one play at a time and then win the first game. [Those] are our objectives right now. And then we go to win the next game, one play at a time, one game at a time." But the question remains: Can the wide receivers do what their coach expects? Coming from a run-heavy offense, the Irish had enough hurdles to overcome. But, in addition, the Irish lost last year's leading receivers J avin Hunter and David Givens to graduation. Meanwhile, Arnaz Battle, Carlos Campbell and Omar BRIAN PUCEVICH/rhe Observer Jenkins, slated to be the top Irish Irish wide receiver Omar Jenkins sprints after catching a pass in practice. Notre Dame's receivers are very inexperienced receivers this year, have only two career but feels confident heading Into their showdown with Maryland this Saturday. touchdowns and 13 career receptions between them.
