Athlon BIG 12 2023

[Buckaineer]

14. West Virginia
The 2023 season is a make-or-break one for coach Neal Brown in Morgantown. The Mountaineers are 22-25 under Brown's direction but haven't had a winning record in Big 12 play and failed to win more than six games in a season in his tenure. An offense that averaged only 5.3 yards per play in Big 12 contests is under the direction of a new play-caller (Chad Scott). The strength of this unit is at running back and along the offensive line, which provides a sturdy foundation for Garrett Greene or Nicco Marchiol at quarterback. Question marks also surround the defense. The Mountaineers gave up 32.9 points a game last year and struggled mightily against the pass.

That’s the second preseason pick of WVU at 14.

Much like the days in the Big East, we’re becoming the Temple Owls of the Big 12.

I hope Neal Brown can resurrection his terrible career at WVU, worse in 43 years for my beloved alma mater. I'm not hoping my breath. I pull for WVU, no matter who's the coach.
