Spring Practice Day 12
EUGENE, OREGON
(April 21, 2008)-- Inside again today and the
focus was on the WR's since the showing on saturday was not good for the
offensive receivers..although we did have some autograph seekers that were
thrilled getting JJ's signature I was assured they will be at the spring
game come saturday.
The media briefing by coach Bellotti always draws a crowd..even
Matt (wearing glasses) and Jerry Allen on the right of coach
Bellotti.

injury-depleted receiving corps, and played in the final 10 games of the
season. Made his collegiate debut at Stanford and accumulated 17 catches
for 168 yards and a touchdown during his rookie campaign. The sure-handed
receiver posted career bests of five receptions for 51 yards
at Washington one week
after grabbing four passes for 47 yards and his first collegiate touchdown
against Washington

yards on eight punt returns, including a runback of nine yards against

22 yards vs. Washington
State.
#23 Jeff Maehl
WR
2007 Little was expected of him
as a true freshman at the start of fall camp, yet he evolved from a
reserve in the defensive secondary to a solid special teams performer and
then into the starting lineup at wide receiver for the final three games
of the season. Playing in all 13 games, didn't make his way onto the
offensive side of the ball in a game until November. In that short span,
finished the year with nine catches for 118 yards, including a team-high
four receptions for 86 yards and one touchdown against Oregon State. Also
grabbed two catches for 30 yards in his collegiate debut at his new
position. Rushed three times for 34 yards, including an 18-yard sprint in
