I ask this because WVU’s offensive line, labeled as “soft” a few times by Dana Holgorsen Tuesday, but still owning no sacks in addition to the second-best yards-per-carry average in the country, was pretty ashamed of its performance Saturday against James Madison.

“They understand. They were disappointed. They were embarrassed,” Bedenbaugh said.

None of this would be obvious if you hadn’t seen the game. The statistics sheet certainly didn’t indicate anything was wrong, WVU piling up yardage, quarterback Geno Smith going without being sacked for a second straight game … but he certainly got pinballed around a lot in the backfield.

“We don’t care how many yards we had. If you look at the stat sheet, it’s crazy,” Bedenbaugh said.

“Look at the yards, no sacks, we rushed for about 5 or 6 yards a carry, which is good, but that stuff doesn’t matter.”

See, what happened was that the offensive line did not play up to its capabilities, no matter what the stats said.

“You have to compete with yourself and play the best you can every snap,” Bedenbaugh said.
