Sorry for bringing this up again as I've been in shock since the game. First off, I didn't see the game so please forgive me if I'm in error.
Seems to me that we live and die by the run and that Rod stubborningly refuses to pass....always tries to force the run. Doesn't matter how many great backs you have...load the box to stop the run with a half way speedy defense and you will succeed. We don't have the depth necessary at receiving. I've noticed we haven't recruited receivers very well over the last 3 years. If I was a potential top receiver it would be hard to come to WVU knowing they are focused primarily on the run game. Maybe we need a new receivers coach??? Defense played well by holding them to 13. Make the two field goals and we win...even with very little offense.
It will be interesting to see how recruiting goes after that game. This link shows which recruits were there, http://westvirginia.scout.com/a.z?s=159&p=9&c=6&dv=20071127&yr=2008 .
Also, I'm worried about the pyschology state of the kids going into the Oklahoma game. Win or lose hope they have fun and realize we all SUPPORT THEM NO MATTER WHAT!
