WVU head coach Neal Brown just told us on @SXMCollege: "In my mind, Pitt should be on our schedule every year."

WVU is 5-2 in this combo and it’s the 13th most worn combo in WVU history!

Nice drive

 

[EERs 3:16]

He's OB

 

[The Bell Tolls for Thee]

10 point swing there. Fagan had a pick 6 if he makes the int thar hit his hands. Can't afford to let gifts like that go.

 

[locustwv]

Pass defense is still suspect but they held them to a FG.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Defense appears to be taking the afternoon off

 

[MountaineerWV]

We look really slow on both sides of the ball. That's a shame.

 

[EERs 3:16]

Our defense couldn't cover the golden girls....

I agree!!

Not Nelly's fault!

For something like the 14th year in the last 15, WVU is playing two-hand touch defense with a swiss-cheese secondary. And we wonder why we can't win.

It would be one thing if we had an offense that could compensate for that....but.....we don't...and so we lose.

 

[locustwv]

That’s targeting!!!

[MountaineerWV]

That’s targeting!!!

They'll get it this time......because it was WVU

 

[MountaineerWV]

They'll get it this time......because it was WVU

WOW. Shocked they didn't keep it

 

[EERs 3:16]

Our DBs run a 5.4 40

 

[MountaineerWV]

ACC refs?

 

[locustwv]

How many times are WE gonna extend their drive?

 

[MountaineerWV]

Looking like 4-8

 

[jlaudiomaster]

Bench the corners please.

 

[spreadoption]

But we had two hands on the QB. We're playing 2-hand touch football right? The QB was down.

Note to HCNB: Next time you get transfers to play in the secondary, get them from a real program. Not Duquesne or Charlotte or Jacksonville State.

 

[MountaineerWV]

Our offense looks like what I see on Friday nights locally.

 

[MountaineerWV]

That accuracy improvement this summer is really showing.
