Joe DeForest has his hands full, again. Granted, he lugs more confidence and good vibrations into the game Saturday than he has in the past, but there are a pair of problems he’s readying for in Stillwater, Okla.

1) He knows that place and that team quite well after working there as an assistant coach the previous 11 years.

2) He knows the Cowboys are No. 2 in total offense, No. 3 in passing offense and No. 8 in scoring offense, but he also knows who runs the ball for the Cowboys.

WVU’s defense still hasn’t allowed an individual 100-yard rusher this season, which is one of its few remaining goals, but the Mountaineers will get a test Saturday from Oklahoma State’s Joseph Randle.

He’s averaging more than 100 yards per game and he’s had six 100-yard games in eight outings this season. Randle is more than legs and carries, though. He’s just a good back who fits the offense as well as it  fits him and he’s evoking mentions of another Oklahoma State great.
