Utah was a 6-6 team from a terrible conference. Utah physically domintated us on both sides of the ball. It would'nt have mattered who wvu had as a starting Qb. That was a pathetic loss .The majority knew the Pac 12 was weak. The fact that Utah was favored speaks volumes about what the masses think of wvu football these days.
If a Qb doesnt get good line play he isn't going to be any good. Tom brady would never have been the player he is today if he was on the Cleveland Browns. Utah physically dominated us on both sides of the ball. the team that controls the line of scrimmage wins the game.
No we haven't but the Oline was especially bad against utah. We only had 29 total rushing yard against a 6-6 utah team when you factor in yards lost to sacks. 41 yards if you take out the sack yards that is as bad as it gets.
Teams always get lofty rankings due to the respect of The Qb but you have to have more than that to win the critical games on the schedule. A good Qb needs a good line and receivers to work his magic. The Oline should be much improved this year and the receivers are a year older and more experienced. The offense should be good. The 2007 Wvu team would not have been as good without schmidt, slaton, D reynaud, devine it was'nt all just pat white.
Kyle Whittingham is 10-1 in bowl games in his tenure at utah they would have won that game regardless. He's one of the best in the business come post season he even beat Saban in the Sugar bowl something that Dana would never do.
9+ wins this season no excuses. If Grier gets hurt then it shouldn't be and excuse for under achivement. Dh is in year 8. Its his responsibility to make sure there is adequate depth to account for injuries. Every team in the power 5 will suffer and injury at some point. The back up isn't supposes to be as good as the starter but should be at least serviceable. If that's not the case then someone isn't earning their paycheck especially after 8 years.
The win over Alabama was with a team Whittingham recruited and look where that Alabama team finished in the polls. The Orange Bowl team was not recruited by DH and that clemson team finshed 23rd with 4 losses. Half the teams you have mentioned on this list are better than arizona state.
9+ wins no excuses. Don't wanna hear any injury excuses. 8 years is plenty of time to develop the necessary depth. If a coach can't recruit the players needed to run his system then you don't have the right guy for the job.
Chuggs was clearly the number 2 guy that should tell you something about what's currently behind Greir.
Yep, a player that had to set out a year. Doesn't fit your agenda so ignore it.
Which player are you referring too? The transfer from Miami was 3rd on their depth chart. He is unproven and some of the things I've read about him claim he struggles with accuracy. He isn't proven like Greir was. If you watched some of the Qb play out of Miami last year you would'nt be that optimistic.
What I hear from you is excuses. I have stated on several occasions what i think the solution to the problem is and you don't like it because it's not what you want to hear.
We all know that stewart was'nt a great coach. He never should have gotten the job to begin with how many people get hired at 2am in the morning. There are several reasons coachs are successful. One of the most important is can they recruit the personal to make their system run. Dh has struggled to recruit QB's out of HS. His system depends on a Qb that can make all the throws and for one reason or the another the guy can't land these guys out of HS. Stewarts recruits where able to win and orange bowl. The best Holgorsen's recruits have done is a 1 point win against a 6-6 Pac 12 school.
If this ends up being right there will be quite a bit of Grumbling.
I am not sure how a guy is third string if he is not eligible to play. A team's QB play from last year has no bearing on our team. This kid was a freshman at UM two years ago. Not many freshman start at QB. He set out last year and play other teams offenses on the scout team. The reports out from this spring is he has a good grasp of our offense and has shown great improvement. Also Lowe is looking pretty good so far. I really like this kid, being a coaches son and all.
He was 3rd string at Miami. He struggled with accuracy and some of the reports still say he struggles in that area. He is also slow. Miami wanted to incoporate more zone reads and this guy did'nt have the mobility to run them. Unless with have good line play this guy will probably struggle that's if he even starts. He is not going to be 2nd coming of will greir.
The 8th wonder of the world is why we struggle recruiting Qb's. Texas Tech runs a similiar system to us and they had Mayfied, Mahomes and Davis were on the roster at the same time at one point.
He was 3rd string as a freshman. Well that has to mean he sucks. I did not say he is the second coming of Greir but a rather he is an upgrade on Chuggs. Can you keep up?
