West Virginia's Biggest Offseason Question Mark
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
To sum it up...
..."Will Orlaco make it to the final football game without getting banned?"
I think they pulled it because of a mistake. Not sure if they will do another.
It's gotta be Skyler. If he improves, this offense is going to be really good. I know we lose Wendell, but our receivers are going to improve a lot with or with our Durante, and they will be working behind a solid OL.
Our DL is going to be good, LBs have the talent. CB is the weak spot but with Dravon and J. Tyler back at S hopefully they can make the secondary decent.
Luckily, there are only 4 good QBs that we face in the Big 12 ( Mayfield, Russell, Rudolph, and Mahommes) and we get 2 of them at home. It's questionable if Rudolph is even good.
And a 54% completion ratio. With an average of one pick six for every game. It's just the way it is in Holgorsen's final year. He chose it, he can live with it.
A pick six each game? That seems like a lot (and it's not true), but it sounds like you are just pushing your agenda.
I was being facetious about the pick six. Hopefully Howard will be much better with his reads and plant his feet before throwing. His numbers against conference foes were not good at all, with four games under 50%. My agenda is for him to be much improved and WVU to win the games they can and should win. I'm pushing the hell out of it.
How will young and inexperienced DBs plus a young and inexperienced DB coach add up? This is actually very concerning to me and I'm not sure the group has exactly turned any heads. This could be a serious problem especially in a conference like the Big12.
Skyler was very sharp as well as the receivers. No sign of Chugunov and no mention of his name, any ideas?
per Casazza......"Crest was the first backup quarterback, because redshirt freshman Chris Chugunov missed the game with what Holgorsen called a “bum” right shoulder that needs rest."
I'm skeptical, but it certainly avoided any chance of a QB 'controversy'. Howard had an excellent day minus one play.
We have WR's for days. White and Durante weren't there and we still had WR's making plays everywhere.
Add Durante, White, and Smothers too Gibson, Shorts, Jennings, Simms, Sills, Rogers, Mathis and we have the deepest WR corp in the country.
Damn near prophetic! Wish Chugs could have been in the mix, though. Maybe it's better he wasn't.
You seem to be trying awfully hard to insuate he was not injured and held out of the game for other reasons............
Insinuating, Waterboy? Nah, I'm suggesting. It probably didn't happen but it would not shock me. But I gotta give the devil his due. Howard was very good except for one play and hey, how about the new kid Cody Saunders? Wow! And Crest may not be very good at passing but that kid can run! To address one of your points, the receivers may be the best group in the nation this fall. There may be five outside guys who could start. And only one dropped pass that should have been caught. I'm impressed! I don't insuate anything, I say what I think. Kind of like BobbyBoucheer!
One more thing I forgot about: Marcus Simms is going to be special!
