One of the biggest issues over the past few seasons for Notre Dame football has been its lack of production from the wide receiver group.
Over the offseason, head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] made it a point to upgrade that unit for the Irish. In an interview with the media, backup quarterback [autotag]Steve Angeli[/autotag] gave his take on the difference in the room.
He mentioned that there was an injection of speed into that room, while it helps two-fold. Not only do defenses have to be aware of players going over the top, it will open up running lanes for the backs as they will have to respect the passing game more.
It's no secret that Notre Dame upgraded the talent in the WR room over the last eight months. Speed was a priority and QB Steve Angeli has noticed it showing up during fall camp. pic.twitter.com/4PSwpLgbjG

This is a great development for the Irish, as the revamped wide receivers will be relied upon a good deal within Mike Denbrock’s offense. If the preseason hype is legit, this Notre Dame offense could see plenty of points on the board this fall.
