WVU 24, Rutgers 21: That Score Sounds About Right
Published on: 6th December, 2009
A smart football man (Bill Parcells?) once said: You are what your record is. At 9-3, West Virginia is currently: -- A second-place Big East team. -- Capable of playing a perfect game and beating a Top 10 team at home (Pitt). ...Cincy 24, WVU 21: Two Calls Doom Mountaineers
Published on: 19th November, 2009
By now, everyone's hashed out the two bad calls that cost West Virginia a chance to upset a Top five team at its home field and stay in the chase for the Big East Title: —The Cincy fumble at the goal line that was reversed and turned into ...West Virginia 28, UConn 24: Noel Devine to the Rescue
Published on: 26th October, 2009
One thing is clear from Saturday's 28-24 WVU victory over a heroic UConn team: It's better to have Noel Devine than to not have Noel Devine. WVU won on Saturday because of three plays: 1) Tavon Austin's electrifying 98-yard game-opening kickoff return for a touchdown; ...WVU-Marshall: Mountaineers Can Win With Geno Smith
Published on: 20th October, 2009
After watching Saturday's WVU-Marshall game again on TiVo after seeing it live, I was struck by a number of things: I feel much better about WVU's first-half defense than I did during the game, when I told my date, "I have to go outside and throw up now." The Herd's sole touchdown ...WVU, Pitt, and USF-Cincy Winner Lead Big East Title Race
Published on: 12th October, 2009
At nearly the halfway point in the season, there are three teams that look like viable contenders for the Big East championship and the automatic berth in a BCS bowl: West Virginia, Pitt, and the winner of Thursday night's Cincinnati-South Florida game. None of the four teams has a Big ...WVU 34, Syracuse 13: A Cleaner, More Dominating Victory
Published on: 11th October, 2009
The Mountaineers showed what they can be in the first half of Saturday's victory at Syracuse: Unstoppable on offense, and dominating on defense. In the second half, the Mountaineers put it on cruise control, and could have had one more touchdown had they not—wait for it—coughed up a fumble, this ...WVU 35, Colorado 24: More Quick-Strike TDs, but More Turnovers
Published on: 4th October, 2009
Four games into a season, a football team starts to develop its identity. The identity of the Mountaineers: turnover-prone, explosive offense, suspect pass defense. WVU lost four fumbles in the first half of Thursday night's nationally televised ESPN game vs. the Buffaloes, though it's worth noting the offense had no ...It’s Time For The Miami Dolphins To Play Pat White
Published on: 28th September, 2009
The Miami Dolphins are 0-3. Starting quarterback Chad Pennington has a dislocated throwing shoulder. The team is averaging an anemic 14 points per game. And yet, one of the team's best play-makers languishes on the sidelines, third-string quarterback Pat White. True, White is a rookie and did not play in ...Auburn 41, WVU 30: Mistakes Thwart Offense
Published on: 20th September, 2009
I'll say this about West Virginia's offense: it doesn't do anything small. Six turnovers, 509 yards of total offense. A 71-yard Noel Devine touchdown run, an interception returned by a defensive lineman for the game-clinching touchdown. As many have written, if WVU can get out of its own way, it ...Five WVU Freshmen To Watch: No. 1, WR/RB Tavon Austin
Published on: 9th September, 2009
It's probably safe to say that Tavon Austin, a former Poet of Dunbar High in Baltimore, is West Virginia's most-decorated recruit since Noel Devine. Devine-sized and Devine-quick, Austin was the two-time Maryland offensive player of the year as a running back. Austin got into WVU's first game last Saturday against Liberty to ...Featured Sponsors
