[WVUALLEN]

Nobody thought we would beat OU in the Fiesta.

WVU 53 OU 50

 

[EERs 3:16]

Three things will determine the outcome of this came

1) Grier needs to play within himself and play smarter than he did against OKSt

2) Coaching staff needs to learn to take the points

3). OU’s success running the ball (this will be the biggest factor)

WVU contains OU’s running attack - WVU 43 OK 40

WVU forgets how to attack the run - OK 52 WVU 40 (and it’s over by the start of the 4th qtr)

OU is down to their last RB. The key is WVU defense needs to get off the field. WVU needs to realize they are just as good as OU, this year.

WVU success will be.. can they contain Kyler Murray?

 

[TownesVanZandt]

OU's OLine is still all playing....

So at the end of the day they will be able to run the ball.

You have to limit their possessions because they may score a lot of points and put up a lot of yards but at the end of the day they are not highly efficient.

They will have turnovers and punt the ball.

The more chances you give them the more that the explosive plays happen.

WVs offense is not as explosive.


But WVs offense can be a lot more efficient.

They need methodical drives that move the chains and take time off the clock.

And here comes the Texas fan trying to pretend he knows something.
