Second notice: WVU sports chat at 2 p.m.

Something to think about in the time between: How about the way things are situated behind Noel Devine?

Stewart said Devine was fortunate the Mountaineers have an open weekend and the time should allow the senior running back to regain form before WVU plays host to the Rebels (1-3). Stewart said there is a plan in place in case Devine aggravates the injury and needs either a short or extended period of time off.

“I don’t think the injury is that severe where we’d have to have an emergency plan, so it’ll be just like it was game in the game,” Stewart said. “(Fullback) Ryan Clarke would be the backup and then there’s Trey Johnson and Shawne Alston.

“Now that being said, if he were to get hurt (in practice) and had to be out a week, now we have 10 or 11 days to get ready and you may see someone back there like a Jock Sanders. At this point, it’ll be just what we’ve done.”

If you were wondering about Johnson, Daquan Hargrett and/or Alston against LSU and curious how the team had addressed a problem it had focused on throughout the offseason, there’s your answer.
