The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Back to work

WVU, which had yesterday off and sort of celebrated with a fan day over at the practice facility, returns to the practice field today. It’s the last week of the “preseason camp” deal for the Mountaineers and they’ll begin to scale back and narrow their focus in preparation for the regular season next week.

This is an interesting time that can be difficult to navigate because players are getting comfortable with, or at least acclimated to, what’s happening to and around them. Yet no one wants complacency because this week is a big week as the Mountaineers move forward.

Leadership is required, and while the offense has its known names, the opportunity to be someone and something on defense is there.
