-- So does WVU hold them over or under?

Unfortunately, I think TCU will exceed both tonight. If they thought Coleman for Baylor was good, they haven't seen Doctson yet.
 
I'll just be glad when WVU can get to November and play a few winnable games.
 
If our offense does not self-destruct at any point tonight we will move the ball and put up some points. That keeps their offense off the field and probably makes our defense better when it is on the field. And we probably easily keep them under 50.

But if our offense self-destructs and keeps putting our defense on the field .... they'll eclipse 50.
 
doctom, you have to look at the bright side: WVU has never started 0-4 in conference play, so tonight is a sure win! ;)
 
That's against a weak schedule. Minnesota held them to 23 and ISU to 45. Hangin 50 on Texas was impressive but the rest of their games of 50+ were against lower class teams and/or struggling defenses

I'll go under. I don't think we'll win but I think we'll hold them under 50.

I put 34-17 in the first list. Depending on the status of Chestnut (I jhear Rumpf went home and is not in Ft. Worth), I might revise that up a little but not to 50.

TCU's defense has used this extra time to expand the coverages and alignments beyond the limited number it had been using because they've had so many injuries there...we could have a hard time moving the ball. Just the fact that we're not at home tells me we'll have a hard time moving the ball...
 
WVU's inability to move the ball often falls on the Mountaineer offense's shoulders. We are our own worse enemy. If we have a good drive going, we fumble it away or throw an interception. This is about as inconsistent and offense as I've seen under Dana at WVU. And the defense, which was something to write home about, has lost Joseph, Chestnut and so many others that Gibson plans to use 3 guys to replace 1 guy at 1 spot (not all at the same time, of course, unless the refers are looking the other way).

This could be really ugly tonight. TCU has demolished every excuse WVU has had about switching from a lesser conference to the Big East, although it hasn't stopped the Dana apologists from trying.

TCU made the transition and it competing for Big 12 and national honors. WVU is not. It's that simple. Either do it, or stop making excuses about why you're not doing it. You're either not good enough, not coached well enough or not trying hard enough. Or a mixture.

As Nike says: Just do it! I'm tired of excuses.

Yes, I know, the WVU October schedule would be tough for Ohio State or Alabama to survive without a loss. But that excuse is gone once Texas Tech, Texas, Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State show up on the WVU schedule. Apologists will have to come up with new excuses.


M ighty defense throttled Georgia Southern, 44-0

O utstanding defense obliterated Liberty, 41-17

U nilaterally decimated Maryland, 45-6, on defense and offense

N oxious offense & special teams against Oklahoma, 44-24

T urnovers lose to Oklahoma State, 33-26 in OT despite impressive comeback from 15-point deficit.

A wesome Baylor too much, 62-38.
