The first drive in 2Q had promise. Picked up two first downs to get to the midfield...and then we crapped the bed - first a holding penalty and then a fumble by Anderson (lose 8 yards) and now we're in a 3rd and 25 situation.
It was the 2nd drive of the quarter that was bizarre. CJ picks up 4 yards on first down. We miss a pass to Horton. On third down Green gets zero yards on a run - was that a designed QB run - I don't recall. But why abandon the run on that drive? WVU had gained 23 yards in the previous drive and no reason to believe they couldn't/shouldn't keep it going on the ground. The pass on 2nd down - ugh.
The third drive, WVU starts at it's own 10 yard line. First two runs (White then Greene) of three yards a piece get you into a very manageable 3rd and 4...Anderson with a 2 yard loss. CJ, White, and Greene were your work horses on the ground, so why have Anderson in that situation?
The fourth drive was the end of the half for two plays.
