Well, half-right with regard to the Rocky Mt. Cry, but that offense is not scoring 35 points without significant alterations.

Postives? WVU ran the ball really, really well. Negative? The Mountaineers were weak on third down and simply need someone to block at the point-of-attack on short-yardage situations. Positive? The defense was mostly great in the final three quarters, if not helped by Colorado’s curious decision to stop throwing the ball. Negative? WVU has stopped throwing, too. Positive? The defense is going to get better and better. Negative? I’m not sure the receivers can make the offense markedly better.

Coaching is certanly up for discussion. As for the clock management, I don’t entirely disagree with what the coaches were saying afterward. If Devine gets the third-and-1 at the Colorado 47 with 24 seconds to go, the game is definitely different. As for the play call, the zone read was their best play all game. It just didn’t work … which is a recurring theme.

Your thoughts? Long night writing, long day of travel waiting for me. I’ll check in as often as I can.
