Even when you lose to WVU (I'll be there cheering), it will be just another loss against a quality opponent. You will move on to your next opponent. You will probably even win your conference..... unless the other Mountaineers have something to say about it. You will never let it affect your entire season AND your head coaching hire.
Facts:
Marshall hired our asst. Head Coach for the sole purpose of understanding WVU'S offense and defense better.
Marshall played #2 Ohio State the week before and played with zero care because they had been preparing for WVU all training camp. They overlooked what could have been a landmark victory because they only cared about WVU coming to town. They got destroyed.
They played as hard as they will ever played against WVU. They even got lucky on a non-called fumble before their receiver passed the goal line for a TD. They gave up 2 TD drives of 90+ yards in the final 8 minutes. Their RB fumbled on what would have been a game sealing TD. Then, their kicker missed a game tying FG wide right even though the crooked posts leaned that way.
Then..... this happened. Don't worry, GSU. I expect you to handle your loss with class. This isn't your Super Bowl after all.
