From ESPN article talking WVU's upcoming season
West Virginia has a lot to replace on defense, on the offensive line and at receiver. On top of that, the Mountaineers have somewhat of an unknown in Grier, who though talented, hasn't played for a season-and-a-half. Yet with all that being said, I think the Mountaineers could still be a top 25-caliber team again. As for predicting the record, East Carolina, Delaware State, at Kansas, Texas Tech and Iowa State should be wins. At Oklahoma should be a loss. Which leaves Virginia Tech (in Landover, Maryland), at TCU, at Baylor, Oklahoma State, at Kansas State and Texas as winnable, but also losable games. If the Mountaineers could win, say, four games from that last category, they could be 9-3, which would constitute another terrific season.
9-3 is a successful season in the conf, and IMO 9-3 was not in final seasons of the BE. Just my opinion, but I do not think the cons were equal in any way.
As far as whole blurb, I disagree that online will be hurting...3 returners plus Cajust....I think we are going to be just fine on that side of the ball.
