Morgantown, WV – In a hard-fought battle that showcased the resilience of his team, West Virginia University head coach Neal Brown watched his Mountaineers fall to Kansas State by a tight score of 45-18 on Saturday afternoon at Milan Puskar Stadium.
“Credit to Kansas State, they played a great game,” Brown might want to say in his post-game press conference. “Our players have to look at themselves and figure out how to execute better in critical moments, not much more I can do.”
Despite the loss, Brown could emphasize the importance of learning from setbacks. “We’re a young team and the cupboard was bare when I arrived, so every game is a chance to grow. They'll bounce back and continue to improve while I get paid either way,” he might be thinking in his head.
With the loss, WVU’s record now stands at 3-4. As the Mountaineers prepare for their next matchup against Arizona, the coaching staff will focus on shoring up weaknesses in all areas and instilling an understanding of the portal process in their players.
Fans are hoping for a firing as the season progresses, but for now, the Mountaineer fans will need to regroup and refocus on just having fun, which was stated as the objective by Brown last week.
