WVSPORTS.COM Why West Virginia's Schedule Looms Large In 2018 Success
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
Two difficult road games in first four and a killer last four...ugh. it is going to come down to the offensive and defensive line health...just not deep enough. Hey, but for now we are undefeated!
I don't think Tennessee will be worth much. They will have a slight advantage in Charlotte in terms of fans. NC State will be a little tougher OOC because it's a true road game.
In conference Beat Oklahoma and the 2 schools named State and we will fine.
The key for WVU's success in 2018 imo is 3 fold:
1). Health on the Oline to keep Grier healthy & FINALLY have a decent running game
2). Dana Holgorsen taking more control of the play calling. Spavital gets too cute, too much and running Grier on a naked bootleg on 2nd and Goal from the 1 demonstrated that.
And
3). Grier can't throw INTs like he's Skylar Howard.
Take care of thise 3 things WVU can win BIG.

You didn't even mention defense, 3x. That is the side of the ball that you should be worried about, not WVU's offense. A typical 7-5 season is likely.
”Slight”? Send me some of what you’re smoking, please.
Rocky Flop hasn't been good since Phillip Fulmer left Knoxville.
Tennessee is rebuilding most of it's team. The defense of Tennessee will be it's best component.
