He is, as was to be expected, high on Saturday’s opponent, a program that’s doing things no one else has done or is doing … including Baylor. This could be the best offense West Virginia has ever faced. One thing Dana Holgorsen did not mention was Wendell Smallwood’s odd revelation Saturday night that the running backs choose who at a given time. JaJuan Seider heard about that attempted to explain.

“That was blown out of proportion,” Seider said.

Seider said Smallwood did not misspeak but that what he said was only true “to a degree.”

“Do they have input? Yeah. Do I value what they say? Yeah. ‘Hey coach, I’m fresh,’ or, ‘Let him get it going, and I can come in,’ ” Seider said. “We’ve got a good rapport with that. I saw [the quote] out there. Everyone’s making too much of a deal out of it.”

Seider said he talks to his running backs between series and asks who’s taking the field because “they’re playing in the game and I want to know how they feel.” Ultimately, he makes the call, and he considers everything about the situation and the way his running backs are performing.

“In a game, I make that decision,” he said. “If I don’t feel like the decision is right, it’s, ‘You come back. He’s going in.’ The only person who overrides me is Dana.”
