The quarterback’s take on what not too long ago “ultimately killed” WVU’s offense:

“When you have explosive players like we have, you kind of get into that mode where, we’re this and that and we can showboat and do this and that, and you get away from the fundamentals of it,” quarterback Geno Smith said. “I think that’s something that happened.

“I think everyone was out there and once you touch the ball you try and make a big play instead of keeping the chains moving and getting a first down and scoring at the end. Everyone was trying to get the big one. That ultimately killed us.”

In consecutive losses in October at home against Syracuse and at UConn, WVU scored nine and 13 points, was 6-for-17 and 7-for-17 on third down and committed a combined seven turnovers.

“I think it’s kind of a gift and a curse to have so much talent – and not just at the skill positions – around you,” Smith said. “You can feel unstoppable and try to make every play instead of doing the small things.”

Just something else to think and talk about before today’s 2 p.m. chat. Be there!
