This is probably going to rain on your parade. Pat White needs but 198 rushing yards to become the NCAA all-time leader among quarterbacks. Yet if you’ve followed the direction of WVU’s offense and looked at the upcoming opponents, there’s a chance, and perhaps a good one, it will not happen.

Why’s that, you ask, especially since he’s on pace to set a career-high for carries? Well, the Mountaineers offense ain’t what it used to be. Just ask the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Here’s a hint, by way of Cincinnati postgame interviews following the Bearcats’ 26-23 overtime victory Saturday night at Mountaineer Field:

“Pat White is still Pat White,” Cincinnati cornerback Mike Mickens said. “He still made plays out there, and when he scrambles, he’s tough … They’re doing the same things, but it’s less run (for WVU) than it used to be.

“And he’s most dangerous when he’s running. We were glad to see them trying to pass more. It kind of played into our hands a bit.”
